Hi Everyone,

For those that are more than 2 years post op from RNY surgery.....can you tell me if you still experience dumping if you eat something too sweet? I would like to know if in my future I could have a bite of cake or a piece of chocolate without dumping.

Thanks

I'm only 7 months out but I can eat a piece of dark chocolate and a tiny bite of cake without dumping. However, I totally avoid anything made with pure sugar. I had a teensy, tiny bite of a jellied fruit slice and while I didn't dump, I felt bad for 30 minutes.

bariatriceating.com has great recipes using the Stevia or Truvia baking blends. I've made the brownies made with black beans, the pumpkin bread, and the chocolate chip cookies. Not exactly like the full sugar originals but close enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without having to worry about dumping (which I have never experienced so far)

I don't know if you've had RNY yet or not (your profile says VSG, so maybe you're thinking of revising?), but most RNY'ers don't dump. The statistics I see thrown around is that only 30% dump. I don't know if there's any research behind that, but I do know a ton of RNY'ers who don't dump and never have. I don't, either. Sometimes I wish I did...

RNY here....i noticed a decline in dumping at 19 months. Now I very rarely dump. If I dump it's not from sugar but from Sucralose which can be found in some sugar free foods. I dumped from sugar free cookies but I can eat normal sugar cookies. I could probably not eat a full slice of chocolate cake but I can have a few bites. Not cause of dumping but because it just wouldn't feel good in stomach too much sugar and fat.

Thank you all for your answers. I appreciate the info.
