Anyone else out there...

Is there anyone out there that has not had dumping since their surgery, I am 5 months out and have never gotten sick from sugar or fat intake and now I am afraid that I will go back to eating candy and chocholate only because I can without getting sick, I did real bad over halloween eating candy

I did dump initially but not now...and it is a problem, as you are back to facing weight loss on your own. You still get full fast, but the poor choice options are available to you, cuz you can. It almost sucks, cuz if I dumped I wouldn't eat those things.

I am grateful to know that its not only myself going through this and struggling with bad choices. First time on this site, hopefully with the help from this site I will stay on track

Oh trust me, you are not the only one. And welcome. The support here is great. This tool just allows us to get full quicker and absorb less calories, however, nothing else changes and so we still have the same challenges we once had. So after all these years of trying and trying again, once again, we must try again. Good luck.

Well.... from what i have learned from this great OH board. 60 percent of the people with WLS dont DUMP! only about 40 doo... for this factor i dont test adn want to know if i do or dont. I plan to stick to this as long as i can. I keep saying I dont want to get sick so it keeps me clean still! (((HUG)))) very hard. lisa

Wow, Its good to know that Im not alone I didn't realize that their were that many people out there that don't have dumping, Only wish that I didn't find out for myself that I don't have dumping, Its a test that I failed and now have to strugle with making the right choices. Thanks E.M

I wish you the best. Try sugar free options- I slipped and had an almond joy............... it was WONDERMOUS!! I did not dump......... but I quickly had to gather myself and get back in line.

Welllll I do dump, but I can eat one fun-size candy bar before I will get sick. Sometime during the second fun-size one is when I get sick. So I tried soooo hard not to eat that stuff but it was hard during Halloween. Some days I was eating several fun size bars throughout the day. I am back on track now, but it was bad for about 2 weeks there. Probably why I only lost 7.8lbs in October compared to my 14lb losses in previous months. Ugh. Fats don't make me dump though. Just sugars. Although if I eat a high-carb cereal or bread I will get naseated and feel a general weak, tired sweaty feeling for about 20 min. But I think the fact that I can eat small amounts of candy is bad, and I can eat chips too. I just refuse to buy them at the store anymore. Tiff 247/173/125

I haven't dumped ever since my surgery, but then I have not eaten sugar at all either. Fat does not make me dump... I've made a committment to not eat sugar again...now I can't say that I will forever stick to that committment, but for now it is the thing that I need to do. I didn't think I could give up sugar, but life is good and it's good sugar-free! Cindy
