Please serious responses only..Thank you..

i also ate 2 spoons of potato salad and I got full and dumped but I think it was the potato salad which I used the low fat mayo when I made it. so I'm not sure why that happened because I use the same mayo in my tuna.

It's not the mayo, it's the potatoes.  Potatoes are very starchy, and guess what starch breaks down into? Yep, you guessed it---SUGAR. 

Also, forget that low-fat mayo crap. 'Real' mayo is made from eggs and oil---in other words, protein and fat.  In order to make it 'low-fat', the fat has to be replaced with something, and that something is---carbs. With your RNY, you will always and forever malabsorb some fat---but you're going to absorbing---and potentially dumping---from carbs. Eat the real thing.

When you used your totally bogus low-fat mayo with tuna, you were balancing it out with the high-protein tuna. When you used it in potato salad, you were combining it's deadliness with a starch. No wonder you dumped!

Fat isn't the enemy---carbs are. Eat fat. It's good for you. Eschew carbs whenever possible.

Threadjack....sorry...Ms Batt, you rock!

Thank you... this is great information in which I did not know. So  it's okay to use the real mayo huh?? because at one time i was using the vegan mayo..I love the taste of real mayo so I'm going to go back to the real thing..and stay away from the potatoes during Christmas time. I usually don't eat any rice bread (even the brown or whole wheat)or anything starchy just meat and veggies well the starch is the beans that I eat but I don't get sick off them. Thanks again.

Enjoy your real mayo!

Holy Mayo, "Batt"man!   Thanks for shedding light on the potato salad issue for me as well.  Lol.

Thank you for asking this question and for all of the answers. Tomorrow I will celebrate week one of my surgery! This ms_ella78 sorry you had a dumping. I have learned so much from this thread.

Thanks everyone for you feedback. I feel so much better to know that all is well and this is how I'm supposed to be eating...Sometimes it's just so confusing and I just got frustrated during Thanksgiving Day because I'm so used of eating large plates and when I made such a small plate and was not able to eat that either I just thought I was having problems...But I guess it's all in my head..sometimes I have to remember that that's why I had this surgery in the first place so that my portions can be controlled......Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!!!

At almost 5 months out I was barely able to eat at Thanksgiving.  I ate about 3 bites of ham, 2 bites of potatoes, and 3 bites of stuffing.  You're normal.

 

Everyone's experience will be different. I am 3.5 years out from RNY & still only eat 1/4 cup of food at a meal 3 X's per day. The nutritionist said I should be eating 1 to 1.5 cups per serving but I just can't. Anything more than 1/4 cup & my pouch hurts badly. Have never dumped. My labs are consistently perfect & all told I'm down from 210 to 102 & holding. Make sure you take your vitamins & B's & keep asking questions of your surgeon.

Sounds normal to me.  At 7+ yrs out I can only eat a small plate of food at a time, thats why I had wls in the first place.
