Sugar? Clarification please

I understand eating sugar free everything due to dumping? Is that correct it's solely to prevent dumping? Is this forever??

I'm not even a diabetic and I've stayed away from sugar completly.

Just need clarification, it's due to the dumping and this is a forever thing? Same goes for oil, grease and carbs?

So, to be clear, the reason you are staying away from sugar is primarily because it contains empty calories that often lead to cravings for more sweet things. The reason most of us got obese is because we ate too many empty calories through sugar and fat.

Yes, for many gastric bypass patients, sugar in significant quantities causes dumping syndrome. Same goes for fats.

My understanding is that over years, this effect grows less as your stomach and intestines adapt to be able to manage larger quantities of sugar and fat. Hopefully, by that time you have developed the habits of a healthy lifestyle that do not include low-quality carbs (including most added sugars) and fats.
