What is YOUR dumping experience like??????

LOL you could write a boo******ping!!! i am one bucket of hormones! that makes so much sence! thanks DX!

For my whole first year I told everyone "I don't dump"....never since I'd never throw up. Only thing that bothers me is the occasional diarrhea, gas and bloating. And when it happens I have to curl up in a ball and hope to die. Well duh.....that IS dumping for me!!! I was in Las Vegas last month and ate too much junk and even drank some (since the drinks are free in the casino's)....was doing fine until one day could barely make it back to the hotel I was in so much pain. It dawned on me a few days later that alcohol is sugar which added to my sugar consumption that week. I can tolerate sugar pretty well until one day.....yikes! So just when I thought "I'm two years out and can eat anything," I have to be more careful now then when I first had the surgery. There are many different ways we dump from what I understand and I know I need to watch out eventhough I sometimes listen to that bad inner voice that says "oh it's ok....eat it."

Good advise Terry!!! WATCH OUT xoxoxo Candy

Hey Candy, I don't get mean, I get like a sick heroin junky... it's pittiful; and for that I am thankful.... My first time was last Christmas (and no, not my last unfortunately)... I had been progressively eating more and more sugar with each passing day and then on the 12th day of Christmas as I lay on my couch watching movies, it started. First the rumbling sound of an earthquake or volcano from deep within, then I started spewing hot moist farts...voluminous amounts. My husband feared for our lives and blew out the candles... even they couldn't hide the smell, and the potential for an explosion was evident even to the cats as they eventually left the room... then it happened... I thought I had another gaseous eruption, but no... it was more like steaming hot lava flowing out of Mt Butt..... all over my new jammies!!! I was horrified that I crapped my pants!!! I will never forget that feeling..... it is only poetic justice that I was eating something called "Lava Cake"... thank you very much Mr. Sam Walton..... Anyways, although I have dabbled in sugar on occasion, I have not had another lava flow since..... and ... Please God, help me to never have another one ever again.... Thanks for asking... hope that wasn't too graphic...lol!! Laurie - minus 186 lbs!!

HI Laurie! OH WOW!!! That sounds like what sugar alcohols do to me... i can tolerate Splenda but manitol, soribol, and all the evil "TOLS" kill me! its like an alien is going to be born! LOL LAVA CAKE! Appropriately named for an ERUPTING volcano xoxoxo Candy

Hey Kiki.... awe thanks!! You have to laugh at what we wls people go thru.... You doin' all right? Laurie

OMG Laurie ... you are too much!!! and hilarious!! Thanks ... I needed that smile on my face today. --Karyn

Laurie, You crack me up! I laughed so hard my hubby snoozing in the recliner woke up & I had to read your post to him so he could see what I was laughing at! Unfortunately, I discovered at Christmas that I don't dump on sugar (long story, but who knew Divinity Candy is pretty much all sugar??). However, I do get the bad kind of sleepy, almost like "passing out", from too many carbs or too much fat. The only time I've had something similar to your "lava flow" was from eating boiled peanuts on a "road trip". Good thing that 12 hours of killer gas & "lava flow" didn't hit until AFTER I got home!
