dumping syndrome

O.K. i know i am a newbie to the post op world, and I am learning alot of things, My daily question for today is this:

 Once you are post op how long does the body react to sugar by dumping?
Is it 6months, 1year, how long was it for you before you could tolerate evan  a small amount of your favorite snack, or dessert.

Just curious... I know i have it will be loooooong time before i can have sugar,and the first thing i am going to have is a Twizzler!!!

I will be 3 years post-op come this Friday and I still dump!  As recently as this morning on some Apple0Cranberry Juice, lol.

There are some that have minor dumping sensations, some that dump drastically (like me)  and those that don't dump at all, but one never really knows which they are unless they test the waters.  I truly wish I hadn't, but I do know what things to stay away from.

So, in essence...there really isn't a "time" limit,  just depends on your body.

Each individual is different.  Some people never dump off anything.  Some become gravely ill.  Some fall in the middle like me and I am over 2 1/2 years out from surgery.  I can eat certain sweets, on certain days, only in the rain, if I hold my breath, and blink my right eye twice. 

I'm just saying...there isn't a rhyme or reason.  You will learn which foods will trigger you to dump.

So true!

Girl, we pretty much had the same response! 

Wow that's really interesting, I wont be testing the waters anytime soon, I am soooo fearful of the whole dumping syndrome thing. I will keep my fingers crossed that i will be one that only dumps off certain things, I dont want to be one that doesnt dump at all, that's too tempting to blackslide, and gain weight back.

3+ years down the road, I still dump - and not on the same shiot all the time. 

It's gonna happen, don't matter when you try it SOMETHING will trigger it - just don't try new stuff away from home - if you gotta puke - your own toilet is SO much more comforting...... LOL!!!!

January 16, 2009 I will be 2 years out and I still freaking dump. It depends I can dump on a certain type of salad dressing-balsamic if it has too much sugar. I don't dump on chocolate but I will dump on certain carbs or if my stupid ass decides to take a bit out of a sugary pastry then I will dump. Try sugar free Twizzlers first! Boy, I dump quick on gummi bears. I was searching for a period of time for sugar free gummi bears and I just gave up on it as a whole. Shoot bout to go make me some eggs with some leftover baked chicken.

Girl didn't even know it was a sugar freee twizzler.... dont start nothing Pink

my bad did I say Twizzlers I mean't sugar free EGGS lol
