Kinda wish I had a dumping issue, so I would not keep testing my sweet tooth so much!

I'm too scared to even try anything. We had my grandma's 80th birthday yesterday with yummy chocolate cake and cupcakes and ice cream and I stayed away- tooo afraid of getting sick. I guess I just am not tempted with the sugary food yet so I am not even gonna try it.. And hopefully when and if I do I hope I get madly sick and dump because that will solve that problem...

FYI you typically have to have a decent carb load to dump. I dumped on cream of wheat with no sugar. It wasn't a sweet...2 or 3 bites of cake or 1 normal sized lollipop probably don't have enough carbs to cause you an issue. I still don't recommend pushing it!!! IT REALLY SUCKS!!!! I can do cream of wheat, as long as I'm eating something with Protein with it, it's racy!

I stay under 9g of sugar per serving of whatever it is I'm eating. I even get nervous eating fruit, but I haven't had any issues yet. There are sweet things out there that aren't high in carbs and sugar. Try to find those to satisfy your cravings so you don't sabotage yourself :)

Weight Watchers has some bakery items and ice cream products that aren't bad. They need to be an occasional item, but better to eat them than a piece of pie!

I seem not to have dumping. I ate one entire slice of cake at a Passover Seder. It went down just fine and there was no dumping later. And that scares me. I wanted to experience dumping. I wanted to be forced to vomit or to get dizzy, etched. It didn't happen. On the other hand, I did not gobble down the cake in seconds. I ate it slowly and enjoyed it. And I am not craving it. That lack of craving as well as eating it slowly are very different experiences for me compared to the pre-op world. But I realize that because of the lack of dumping, I will need to exercise free will very carefully.

O trust me you never want to go thru dumping... I was so sick off a bite of a German chocolate cake I was sick for 5 hours my boss call 911. I turn so pale, body so weak, my head was light headed, I thought I was going to die... The hospital call my doctor and when he got there he tells me I been doing great cause this was my first time dumping at 6 months out..... I thought throwing up the clear foam was dumping boy was I wrong.

I have had moments of wishing I didn't dump. I am so sensitive that I dump on two ounces of lactose free and safe-for-diabetics frozen yogurt that my nutritionist recommended. It is made with fructose (from fruit) so it is supposed to be okay for RNY as long as we don't have more than a couple of ounces. Dumping, for me, feels like waking up with the worst hangover imaginable. I get dizzy, nauseas, sweaty and cold at the same time, and incredibly weak. I ended up having to lay down at the yogurt shop to keep from passing out.

I do get what you are saying though. If I didn't have the reaction I did to the faux froyo, I imagine I would have tried the real thing by now (at least a couple spoonfuls). That fear has helped to keep me from making poor food choices and even though I hate it, I am equally grateful for it.

I wonder if, like the other person said, maybe you just didn't have enough sugar/carbs to trigger dumping. I promise it only has to happen to you once for you to go out of your way to avoid it happening again.

I am nervous if I will know if I am dumping or not. I have bad reactive hypoglycemia and that and dumping have the same symptoms but different cures. I feel better if I eat something when I have a hypoglycemia fit, but dumping, you need to rest and not eat right?

Okay so are you asking what I think is causing dumping? I just seem to be very carb sensitive. My docs breakdown per meal is 20 carbs but if I get above about 15 I'll start the heart racing queasy light headed stuff, if I have more Protein I can handle more carbs, they go hand in hand. I cannot drink the shakes my surgeons office sells now, they are certain death. It's just a learning curve! If I ever decide I hate myself and deserve to be miserable I'll go drink a coke, that would be KILLER!!!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
