Would I have already dumped at 7 weeks if I had it?

The only thing I can't eat is beef because all three times it hurt like heartburn for five minutes and I was gagging.  Also, what are the limits to safely eat salmon, tilapia, shrimp, and scallops per week? I know the ounces, but how many times each.  Many thanks to everyone who posts It helps me stay on track.

Beef is really hard to digest unless it is ground. It needs to be chewed extremely well. All other protein, so long as you tolerate it go for it.

Sorry, but I don't know about limits for eating salmon, etc. per week. 

Dumping has nothing to do with eating protein. If you ate beef and you felt like that you probably ate too quickly or didn't chew enough or it was too dry-or it just isn't agreeing with you at this point. If you wait a few weeks, maybe try it again. 

Dumping will only occur in 30% of us, and only when eating sugary foods and/or simple carbs. 

Hope this helps!

If you've already eaten stuff high in sugar, you'd have dumped if you're a dumper.  Hopefully you haven't been eating stuff high in sugar so soon, though.

I don't know of any reason it would be unsafe to eat seafood daily if you want to.

I dont know what you mean by limits. I was wondering if you had problems with different proteins too soon together?

I cannot eat the same proteins close together. I have to vary them each day.  I can eat beef one day but cannot eat it the next day. I will throw it up every time if I do. I have learned I just have a "picky pouch". I alternate with chicken, beef, fish or shrimp, and back to chicken. Beef includes any red meat. Like Buffalo or elk. I cannot, will not eat deer. UGH. and ostrich is treated like beef by my pouch. I have to be really really careful with turkey. I made the mistake of when I was allowed to start adding foods to my "soft " foods as tolerated, I made a turkey for some kind of family get together. I chewed it really well and put lots of gravy on it to lube it up. Lol. yeah, big mistake. I puked it up. And have never been able to tolerate turkey really well since.

Maybe that will help if that is what you were talking about .

I have never heard of any limits on how much of any particular protein you can eat, and cannot imagine what difference it would make (other than certain shellfish being high in cholesterol, beef being higher in fat, etc.).

Someone else already pointed out dumping doesn't have anything to do with proteins at all, just sugar, so the title of your post and the content is a little confusing.  the only way that you would know whether you are a dumper not would be to have eaten something high in sugar.

I believe you are concerned about the Mercury in the fish and the safety of how much to consume per week.  I dealt with this through pregnancy but we should still take precautions.  What really matters is where your fish is from, if you look at the Texas Department of State Health it will tell you which fish you should NOT eat from the Gulf.  It even breaks out that men can have two meals per month of certain type of fish. There are other websites depending on wha****ers your fish is coming from and the safety of the fish raised in those waters.  I hope this helps!  Good Luck!

Do you understand what dumping actually is? If you are on plan, at 7 weeks, you should NOT have already dumped, IMO. 

As for the seafood, in the beginning I was having scallops, shrimp and crab almost daily because I tolerated those proteins the very best and the calorie/protein ratio is fantastic!  I will not eat any seafood from anywhere in Asia for any reason and make sure what I do eat is caught in certain waters with certain techniques. I do not eat farmed salmon, only wild caught.  

And does your plan call for ounces or for volume? I am on a volume plan meaning I use a measuring cup to limit volume, but then a scale to determine the weight and calculate calories. Are you only going off weight and if so, is that how your plan specifies?

If you are on-plan, you should NEVER dump.  Ever.  For the rest of your life.

I hope you will "assume" you dump and avoid high-sugar foods at least until you get to goal and even then be careful. Testing the waters can be dangerous.
