Is it realistic to think I can totally avoid dumping and vomiting?

I am 4 weeks post-op TODAY (open RNY) and down 24 pounds, right on schedule with 6 pounds per week as predicted by my surgeon. So far (KNOCK ON WOOD!), I have been very careful, followed my diet plan to a T and had no vomiting and no dumping. I HATE THE THOUGHT OF EITHER! I real labels and never eat anything with more than 10 grams of sugar or fat. If there is any question when I eat out, I avoid it. Is it unrealistic to think I can totally avoid dumping and vomiting if I'm careful? Any long-term post ops over 1 year never had dumping or vomiting?
