I still dump!

The good thing is I don't usually do sweets. I'm more of a salty kinda gal. I love Cheetos! But it looked good and I wanted to try it. Oops! I guess it was too good!

I hope that I am one of the 30% that dump.  I can use the reinforcement!

I'm sorry you had an "at-work" dump! I dumped on nearly everything in the 1st year - fruit, fat,and stayed the heck away from sugars. But now at 22 months, my threshold has changed but IS STILL THERE! So I try not to pu**** on the unhealthy things. Fruit, I'm happy to have back into my tolerance; but cookies just really shouldn't have a place in my life. Sadly.

No more sweets for me. At least not for now. Even though I said that last time. Sometimes I just want to try something sweet. It's rare, but it happens.

I need to stick to my sugar free options.

I find it strange that I don't seem to dump or have an issue with alcohol.  I've had a drink twice since surgery thinking this may put me under the table and it didn't do anything.  I seldom have alcohol so it doesn't really matter but I had heard so much about people having a drink and getting drunk that I expected it to happen.  Sugars haven't bothered me but I don't eat a lot because I don't want to take the space from protein.  There was a time I'd rather eat sweets that healthy foods so I can't allow myself to go there again. 

I am afraid of dumping - I hate to feel sick - so I try to learn from everyone else's experiences.  I had surgery 5 weeks ago.  At different times, I've had a couple of cookies, a couple of Trader Joe's chocolate covered cherries and bananas and I haven't dumped.  I enjoy a little something sweet once in awhile.  I've heard that ice cream often causes dumping for people.  When I'm further along and have a couple of hours to spare, I'm going to try a little.  But basically, what I've learned from this discussion board is that one may or may not dump; it may happen at any time in this process; and any type of sweet may cause it.

Dee, how do you know that you are dumping.  One time, early on I did dump and it was awful.  Now I just get uncomfortable,matoach pain, sick to my stomach, but no loose stools or vomitting,must so uncomfortable.  Is this a form of dumping?

Your heart starts pounding, you get all sweaty, your tummy hurts, you get all shaky and yes, you could have diarrhea or vomiting. It feels kinda like a panic attack.
