Why am I not dumping?
I have a long question, but please be patient. O.K. this probably sounds silly, but I'm concerned so I'm going to ask anyway. I had surgery 8/24/02 and so far I have lost 64lbs! Eventhough I'm happy about my loss, I'm afraid maybe I'm eating too much. I'm careful as to not eat too much at one time, but then I feel like I'm grazing all day long. I feel like I'm always hungry! I eat pure protien for b-fast, lunch & dinner and my only snacks are sf jello, sf pudding, sf popcicles and fruit. I get at least 80 grams of protien. In fact, I feel like all I get is protien. I've had some struggles with constipation too. I've tried stimulants, prune juice, fiber-con and the such and still not moving! I'm confused. I thought food would move through a bit more frequent after surgery. This past weekend I did something I shouldn't have. I have never experienced the "dumping" syndrome. I drank a can of Code Red Mt. Dew and 3 doughnuts. I know it was wrong, but I didn't anyway, and no this is not and will not become a habit. However, I did not get sick. I never thought I would want to get sick over surgar and caffiene, but now I'm concerned that I'm doing something else wrong. I would appreciate any feedback, ideas or opinions. God Bless!
