I Did It Again

This morning I made my coffee like I always do, sugar free double mocha with a cup of coffee brewed in my Keurig and then I add some sugar free Sweet Italian Cream creamer.  I usually sit down with my mug and sip it while I check my email and things.  It usually takes me a long time to drink it all.  So this morning I sat down and nursed my coffee and after a while I started feeling sick.  I remember thinking it felt like I was dumping.  I ran into the bathroom and I knew without a doubt that I was dumping.  For me the worse part about dumping isn't the physical part, even though that isn't pleasant, but the way I feel emotionally.  I just feel so awful and sick, I guess weird.  It's hard to describe.  My heart is beating fast and it's almost like an anxiety attack.  So after I felt better I checked and sure enough I had bought regular creamer instead of sugar free.  Both my previous episodes were due to the same thing.  I just wasn't paying attention and I just grabbed a bottle from the rack without checking carefully enough.

The good thing, if there is one, is that it really wasn't as bad as the previous experiences.  It was over pretty fast compared to before.  I don't know if it's because I didn't use a lot of the creamer and I didn't drink that much or if my body is adapting in some way.  I remember my sister telling me that after a while she found she could tolerate sugar better then before.  I really don't want to test out the theory.  I just need to remember to be more careful when I buy things that are supposed to be sugar free.

Ut oh, sorry, Tazz.  : (

 

Glad you are feeling better. Tough way to start the day.

I know its stinks to dump, but boy has it been a useful tool for me, otherwise I think I would have had even a bigger issue with regain.

Hope the rest of your day is smooth sailing!

I don't dump but then again, I don't feel great if I eat too much sugar.  Glad you found out the reason.  Pour that stuff out or give it away so it doesn't happen again.

I hate dumping but I LOVE the way it keeps me under control!!  

I just did the same thing when I went to buy Salad Dressing.  I thought I bought FF and didn't have any quilt using it and then I realized it wasn't FF.

I was actually sorry it wasn't worse because I found myself thinking "Oh, you can have a little sugar and it wouldn't be so bad, you can handle that".  I know how I roll.  That is why I tell myself it was because it was such a small amount, which it was.  The more sugar I would have, the worse it would be.  And I know myself, there is no way I could have just a little.  That would be like having just a little heroin.

Hate that you felt so bad!!

 

I dont know if I dump and just like to think that I do.  I do know that a few times I had too many carbs (greek yogurt and honey roasted nuts) and I felt very strange almost like I was going to pass out.  I never thought I could make it this long without sweets and i hope I can continue just going on the theory that I do dump. I remember pre-surgery thinking I wasnt sure if I wanted to be a dumper or not.  NOW, I KNOW...I want it as like Maria said, I struggle so much with keeping this weight off.....if chocolate and cookies got added in, I would be in BIG trouble. Every meal remains protein focused as much as possible.

 

Hope you feel better!

Hope you are feeling better today. I'm glad it wasn't your protein or your sugar free creamer. I would be lost without my protein coffee in the morning! Linda

Is protein coffee sold in the grocery stores?
