December 4, 201213 yr I had surgery 4 months ago and have never had a dumping experience. I have had occasional diarrhea but no dumping which I'm OK with. I know my limits and stay away from foods high in sugars or carbs.
December 4, 201213 yr Am also 4 months out n I haven t had any dumping thanks god. I haven't had any problem except for one time the something got stuck the was the worst pain ever
December 4, 201213 yr Im 3 months tomorrow... And have been able to eat anything without any problems - but ive not tried anything sugary. The only thing that has made my stomach go a bit funny was a small slice of watermelon ( i couldnt resist it with feta cheese)....
December 4, 201213 yr Just curious if there is anyone on here that doesn't dump? xo Hilary My dumping is more like hotflashing coupled with dizziness and nausea. Ive only done it like 3x and it was never from bad foods
December 4, 201213 yr I can eat and drink anything without dumping. I don't dump... Which I good I like my protein shake with a little maple sweetener in it. My nut said that it was fine. I just have to be sure to chew well, I've gotten food stuck a few times and had to bring it back up.
December 4, 201213 yr I haven't had any dumping issues. I was surprised since I hoped it would keep me accountable. I just have to make sure to hold myself accountable and change my habits so I don't get back to where I started!
December 4, 201213 yr I am also 4 months post and don't experience dumping. I must say I was very disappointed about this! My surgeon just laughed at my honest answer, but I wanted it to fear testing the limits. Working on my self control is hard .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.
December 11, 201213 yr I am two weeks post op and thus far have not experienced dumping. I've made sure not to eat or drink anything known to cause it. I am hoping that it is avoidable.
December 11, 201213 yr Pork is my enemy. It makes me dump like nobody's business. Now I avoid pork like the plague! my superpower is......
December 11, 201213 yr I don't dump from anything, so I'm extra carful to put myself in check. I am determined to get this weight off of me!
December 11, 201213 yr I have taken small bites of a peanut butter cookie, and a small bit of brownie, did not get dumping. I'm actually ok with not dumping. Sugar and sweets were never my downfall, I am a portion hog. I cannot just eat a normal serving size of anything, I have to eat an army's worth, so the restriction is the part that I love. I only even took bites of those because the kids and I were making Christmas cookies and goodies for my annual Christmas party.

It was quite an adjustment to only be able to have 2-3 bites and BE DONE. I hurt if I eat more. I've accepted it and I am happy that I am actually full! Portioning has always been my issue- 3 to normal 1 serving- started when I was preggers....... Well it got bad when I was Prego. I've had issues forever! Now I feel very full and I love it. I think I am going to be a slow loser. I am 14 days out and only lost 15lbs. I know that is great, but for some reason I thought it would be more!
December 11, 201213 yr My dumping is more like hotflashing coupled with dizziness and nausea. Ive only done it like 3x and it was never from bad foods Me too! Can't do any yogurt. : ( but I can take a bite or two of any sweet and be ok. Half a cookie is too much. Excess fat also makes me feel icky nausea gotta go to bed. Then in hour and a half I'm fine. It's weird...

Been same weight since 3 weeks, but I'm trying like hell not to freak out about it LOL I have started back my Protein shakes to see if that will get me losing again. My bff just bumped up her wedding date to May 4th from Oct 5th, so I'm Freaking out about that! I have 100lbs to loose in 4 months LOL I was just thinking, I picked up candy for my kids stockings today, its sitting here in the car with me, and I'm thinking "one m&m won't kill me" Ummmm yeah, it will. So much of this is willpower and mind over matter.
Just curious if there is anyone on here that doesn't dump?
