So I am 10 almost 11 weeks out and I ate my first sweet last night. It was my mother-in-laws bday so I made a cake. I told my hubby I was gonna have some he frowned at me. I said I am actually hoping I get dumping from it. Weird I know... But.... I DID NOT GET IT. I am so bummed, I was hoping to have the accountability so now I have to be stead fast ind use my own will power. It seems as though my body will let me eat just about anything :-(. Buttbuttttt I did not have this surgery to throw it away on eating junk so I will stay stead fast and make the healthy choices my body needs to stay on track. They'd for letting me vent guys....

mixed blessing on the no dumping, huh? but just cause you didn't this time doesn't mean you won't, at least I think you still could. But I am pre op. And if dumping feels anything like what I felt like in the middle of the night when my normally high blood sugar woke me up out of a dead sleep to the tune of 61, I never want to dump post op. Sweating, heart racing, vision messed up, two glasses of oj and some milk later I felt like I might make it.

so just tell yourself you might not have dumped then but you might next time and steer clear of that junk food.

Wishing you the best.

I'm almost six months postop and I have yet to experience dumping.

When I had my gallbladder removed about 10 years ago I would experience a form of dumping so I think I know what it feels like. It seemed like every time I ate Chinese food I'd have to run to the bathroom immediately. LOL

Honestly though, I'm more afraid of NOT dumping than I am of dumping, if that makes sense at all.

Right now it's just easier for me to say, "oh I can't eat that, I'll get sick." I have tried eating a few bites of bread a couple of times and it hurt like hell but I didn't dump. :-(

I am 10 months post op, I have had small quantities of sweets, example: 5 M&Ms, a bite of a cookie, etc. Nothing happened to me either. As some said above... just because it did not happen this time does not mean it won't. I was thinking that nothing happened because I had such small amounts. Even if you do have a sugar craving I eat my sugar free ice pops = 10 calories and I love them... theys satisfy my sweet craving.

That is why I was so sad that I didn't dump. But I only had about 4 bites. I just don't want to take the risk you know. I had this surgery to be a better me not to make the old same bad habits.

Sometimes you can have immediate dumping or delayed dumping. I dump more from bread than sweets. Everyone body is so different! You should really think of it as a blessing knowing on your birthday you can eat a small piece of cake without getting sick. You just want to keep this option for special occasions only.
