No dumping

[ashgru 17]

Hey guys!!! I had surgery March 7th since i have only lost 42 lbs, i have not have any dumping and i could eat anything, nothing makes me sick!! Most say its great but i feel like this makes me more vulnerable, i could eat anything and scared to go back to my bad habits

I am the same way. Only rich foods like almonds seem to be an issue and not a big issue at that. My guess is that you haven't lost more because you've explored all the "don't eat" foods to see if you get dumping or not. No judgement here. I've done it too! Haha. Ice cream, beer, liquor, sushi rolls, hamburger WITH a bun, bowl of Cereal etc. But. I don't do it often. I've had steady weight loss (sleeve 3/29, down 57lbs). But when I see a day to day of zero weight loss I know it's because I ate one of the things I'm not supposed to. So back to strict 2-3oz, Protein first, 1-2 shakes a day and bam! Start dropping weight again.

14 lbs a month isnt good for you? Thats 168 lbs per year...pretty good in my book

You need to learn healthy eating habits. The surgery wasn't a magic wand - it's only a tool to help with Portion Control. You have to do the rest. Why have you tried foods that could make you sick? I don't know how much weight you expected to lose (42lbs is alot) but it is easy to eat around your sleeve. Stick to your plan.

I really havent tried bad foods, i avoid fried foods, rice, potatoes, chips, and sugars. I think my question is more that i can get more ozs of food and not feel full then normal.

Did you have an expectation of experiencing dumping with the VSG surgery ?

Honestly Yes, at the doctors office all i heard was people going thru this and mentioning foods they couldnt resist, I just thought i would go thru the same.

some people with the sleeve experience dumping, but most do not. many experience foods that no longer sit well in their stomach, but many do not.

I am one who has been able to eat anything I cared to - without problems for the most part. some would say that is an advantage, some would say it is not - but I am very happy with my outcome.
