Ouestion Please - Didn't dump on sweets???
Val 8 weeks out and eating cake and drinking lemonade does not sound like you are following your doctors protocal.
I am a dumper....and I dump on things quite easy....I do not eat sugar...had difficulty even before surgery.
Be careful of the slippery slope....you had this surgery to get healthy....not see how far you can push the envelope!
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” –Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981).
Sweets are my downfall, girl & I wish I'd NEVER even tried them! When I first started sampling new things, it was what a friend of mine called refrigerator roulette! One time I would try them and be fine and the next, I'd be sick as a dog. No one can tell you whether it will change...it may & it may not. In a perfect world, you'd never know, but the reality is that you'll probably be faced with sweets again. What I try to remember is that I can have them, but that moderation is key. Good luck...it's a roller coaster of a journey!!

ALL I CAN SAY IS STAY AWAY FROM TESTING ANYTHING THAT YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO OR ANYTHING THAT PUT YOU IN THE POSITION TO HAVE TO HAVE THE WLS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I HAVE NO ANSWERS FOR YOU ON WHAT HAPPENS LATER ON DOWN THE LINE FOR YOU AS WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WHEN I TESTED THE SWEETS IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY WLS JOURNEY! I AM ALMOST 4 YEARS POST OPP AND SO VERY UPHAPPY
THAT I TESTED THE SWEETS OR ANY OTHER FOOD THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD. I AM NOW TRYING TO STOP THE MADDNESS OF EATING ALL THE WRONG THINGS AGAIN AFTER A 40 POUND GAIN.
IN MY OWN OPINION THERE IS NO PIECE OF CANDY, CAKE, BREAD OR OTHER NO NO
FOOD OR DRINK THAT HAS BEEN WORTH GAINING 40 POUNDS, AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK I PUT INTO IT IN THE BEGINNING.
IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NEVER HAVE TRIED THE CANDY. DO YOURSELF A HUMONGOUS FAVOR AND DON'T EVEN TRY THE FOOD TO SEE IF YOU DUMP. JUST TELL YOURSELF YOU WILL BE TERRIBLE SICK
FROM THE FOOD AND LEAVE IT AT THAT.
JUST THOUGHT I WOULD THROW THAT OUT THERE FOR YA AS FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
TAKE CARE AND BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR WONDERFUL JOURNEY TO GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
