Sugar Plum Fairy Just Whacked Me Upside the Head!!

OH NO!!

I just went to a health store that serves protein shakes...one of my friends who is 6 months out from gastric bypass surgery goes there all the time. They use protein mix like Muscle Milk or Nectar and add pureed fruit...I got a graham cracker (muscle milk) with "pureed" bananas. It tasted heavenly by the way. I paid special attention to what she was putting in my shake so that I could record it. When I went to record it, I couldn't believe my eyes. The Oasis "puree fruit" she put in my drink has 32g of sugar for 3 floz!!!!!! The woman working there knew I was a bariatric surgery patient. She says that she serves a lot of bariatric patients. That is scary!!!  How does my GBP friend not have dumping symptoms???

Good question. Shame on that Sugar Plum Fairy!

my mom had RNY and can eat natural sugars, but not super refined ones. Things that are processed or white sugars are more prone to cause dumping than pureed and concentrated fresh fruits.

17 gummy bears would have been better for you! (just kidding, of course. I'm just testing out new signatures)

 Really Funny...lol. Profile pic is great too!

Perfect example why you log BEFORE eating and drinking if possible!

Oh my go****hat is crazy!

Also, not all GBP - RNY patients dump. I have several friends who have had RNY and do not dump. One became lactose intolerant, but sugar doesn't do anything to her. My uncle, though, dumps all the friggin' time. He doesn't care. He still eats whatever crap he wants, gets sick, goes to lie down and repeats this at every meal. Drives my poor aunt crazy.....Can you say "REGAIN"? 

Two of my 3 my RNY friends don't dump, the third dumps on healthy stuff even slightly fatty protein like chicken drumsticks!! 

Aversion therapy DOES NOT WORK. I *headdesk* every single time I hear get RNY if you have a sweets problem.. ugh.
