Does this mean I am not a 'dumper'

Know I shouldn't have but ate cookie dough and nothing happened. I was hoping that I would be a dumper, does this mean I'm not? I am a little over 3 months out. Thank you.

I really do not know - I am one month out and I have not dumped.  I think I am going to need the dumping to keep me away from things I should not et.  I am curious as to what everyone will tell you.

I'll tell you what I told the OP. Just assume you dump. You definitely don't want to test the waters. Dumping is TERRIBLE, it's absolutely AWFUL and should be avoided at all costs.

I don't dump per say but I do have some blood sugar issues if I eat some things.  I do have a few bites of dessert a few times a week (literally a few bites) but I am also 2 years out.  A lot of people DO NOT Dump.  Spend this next year (AT LEAST) building new habits. Which doesn't mean you don't ever eat cookie dough but it should be a rarity.  Your pooch is a tool its not the end all be all. You habits with eating, exercise, and lifestyle are what its helping you change.  At a year out I can mostly eat normal if I wanted to at two years I certainly can. I may not be able to eat as much but I can eat a good bit and I can eat a huge range of things.  Its my choices and my exercise routine that keeps me at my goal.  You probably wont dump..you might but I don't think its the majority of people that do.

It depends on how much you ate. If you only ate a little and didn't dump, it doesn't mean you won't have a reaction to a larger amount. If you ate 1/2 a tube's worth and didn't dump...eh you might not.  

Just assume you DO dump. That's the easiest way to avoid sugary foods from here on out. 

Edited for clarity...( left out a word )

Thanks for the info. I generally follow my plan. I hate that I ate cookie dough and need to work on developing new habits. I can't have that stuff (junk food) in my house or I will eat it. It was cookie dough my son bought from a fundraiser. Like the suggestion to assume I am a dumper ... It sounds like a horrible experience. Thanks!

Everybody is different.. what may or may not bother you will chance.

I never experienced much "dumping" at almost 9 years out if I eat too much sugar I will get the fast heartbeat... sometimes sweaty and then get tired. If I eat too much fat I definitely can tell.. stomach cramps and you can imagine the rest. I don't experience it often and sometimes it may happen with something I ate before and was fine... other things I just know how much I can eat and be ok.

If you are "relying" on being a dumper to deter you, then don't even test it... better to just think it will happen.

I was more than five years out when I dumped.  I had eaten sugary things many times but never enough to dump.  It is a miserable experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Now know, it can happen at any time and different ways.

Sometimes cookie dough isn't enough of a trigger. Try three Twinkies, or four Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, and see if that will do it.
