Question:
Has anyone started dumping later post op?

Here's the deal...I'm 7 1/2 months post-op, and very rarely dumped on sugar in the past, and NEVER dumped on things high in fat. Usually I try to avoid these things, but sometimes the head hunger gets the best of me. I recently started dumping on very little amounts of both sugar and fat. Is this normal, to start dumping on stuff I never dumped on before? I'm not upset by my newfound dumping, actually I'm quite happy about it! Its one of the side effects I was really hoping to have, and I was a little bothered that it never happened before. Anyway, any input you might have would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!    — Becky H. (posted on January 24, 2002)

I tell you- I am 2 years post op and I still have no rhyme or reason to when I dump. Someting might make me dump one day and the same thing won't the next time I eat it! I can eat something at a restaurant at night and have the leftovers the next day for lunch and feel icky- not necessarily dump just feel icky. Sugar doesn't usually make me dump anymore, but sometimes it can. It keeps me honest, that is for sure!
