I'm one year and one week out from surgery and hadn't ever dumped. I wasn't sure if I would but never tested my limits to find out. I always stayed far away from sugar and simple carbs. Today I had a small can of B&M Baked Beans for lunch. About ninety minutes later my heart started racing, I was shaking, I felt nauseous, my stomach was cramping, I felt like I was having hot flashes, then I barely made it to the bathroom in time. I spent the next 45 mins in there, feeling miserable, before I felt like I could return to work. I was flushed, shaking, and weak for another hour before I started to feel normal. I am NEVER touching B&M Baked Beans again!

On the plus side, my insides had a good cleaning out.

So it CAN still happen. I am with you, I have not dumped, but have not tested the limits either. I have had small amounts of all types of Desserts and even candy over the last year, but in very small amounts. I would bet that if you just had 3 or 4 bites of the Beans you would have been just fine. We ate all still learning!

Thank you for sharing. Glad you are feeling better!

Thank you! I'm glad it happened! The unpleasant experience is a strong motivation to stay away from sugar and simple carbs and reinforces my determination to make healthy eating a permanent life-long habit. :-)
