Pouch Resetters...I think I dump now too!

Ok, after I went on the modified Time Out for awhile and then the 2 days of liquids only and then continued on the modified time out, I told you all that my pouch is definitely smaller or that I am feeling full on less food.  Well, last night we went out to dinner after my daughter's dance recital.  Since we had lots of kids with us we chose Fuddrucker's.  They serve burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and they have salads for those of you who aren't familiar.  Anyway, the point is that they give the kids a choice of sugary treat from the bakery.  Well, I ate a salad and stayed on my plan until we got home with the extra sugary treats.  We were watching a movie when I decided to eat a small rice krispie treat from the bag.  Yes, I know I shouldn't have, but I was giving myself all these reasons why it was ok.  I figured it had about 150 calories and I was only at around 700 calories for the day.  Anyway, I ate it and within 10 minutes I was feeling sick at my stomach, my heart was racing, and I was sweating.  I was DUMPING!  Why do I sound so excited?  I never dump.  I didn't dump after surgery.  I think I have dumped maybe once or twice in the whole 5 years.  I started out having sugar after surgery so I never had the benefit of dumping.  Now, that I have refrained from it, I dumped.  The key to resetting the "dump-o-meter" though has to be that I completely refrained from sugar and sugar alcohols though becase I have been on the Atkins diet post surgery and consuming things with sugar alcohol.  When I slipped up and had real sugar I still didn't dump.  So, I think cutting out all the sugar and sugar alcohols on the time out has reset my "dump-o-meter".  This is very good news for those of us who don't dump.  Not only can the pouch size be reset, but also the sugar tolerance.  Now today I did have some coffee with Splenda.  I didn't dump on that.  I am craving sweets though.  I know not to give in.  I will drink my protein and maybe eat a salad or some tuna.  I am losing weight again and feeling pretty good, but mostly just really getting excited about these findings.  I trust this forum that I won't get flamed for eating the rice krispie treat.  I know what I should and shouldn't be doing, but I am one of those people who battle internally to do what I should.  If it were easy for me to stick to a program I would never have gained any weight after my first trip to Weigh****chers.  So, flame if you must, but I really think this forum is more supportive of each other.  We learn from each other's mistakes and we take what advice we feel applies to us.  Good luck to everyone on your own journey.  I just wanted to share a discovery I had on mine.

LOL! Oh my gosh! I am laughing so hard at your justification to eating the rice crispy treat! Wow, we are so much alike. Anyway, sounds like you did indeed dump! That is awesome, hehe! Some things make me dump and some don't . I will never figure that out but it is good because it makes be more careful. Good news though. I know that I am very sensitive to certain sugars too and abstaining from them does make me more sensitive to them as well.  Hugs! Molly

Oh this is so encouraging.... I don't dump (beyond getting sleepy when I eat sugar... which only makes me time my sugar intake to when I can nap!).  Oh this post gives me hope! Thanks for the ray of possibilities...   All the best in your success!!!  No flame here!  Focus on what you're doing right and try and repeat! Hugs! Denise
