holy cow....dumping is awful

i think i dumped.  i have on occasion tried sweet things, i guess testing the waters, which is never good, but i do like to taste test what i make for others.  i have never dumped.  i have noticed if i eat food too fast, or with too high of fat content, i feel unwell for a few hours, mainly fatigued and slightly nauseated.  i always assumed that, that was the worse it would get.  i have definately eaten more than 10 gr of sugar and had no reactions, so sadly, i was bummed that i don't dump.

fast forward to easter.  :)

this week i have been sick, and feeling bad for myself, and old habits returned.  i ate some chips, and minieggs (my fav easter treat), all was good.  i felt gross, like i had overstuffed myself, but i wasn't ill from it.  today, i had another handful of minieggs, and 1/2 hr later, i was so sick.  my stomach hurt as bad as labor, but was continual pain, i was nauseated, and dry heaving.  it was AWFUL.  followed by some crazy bathroom GI stuff, and 20 min of rest, i felt better.   i will never touch junk again....NEVER.

you all may wonder why my post is going on so much......new RNY's, learn from my mistake.  it is AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a happy easter all, and stay away from the chocolate 

Yes, it is terrible, I always have a bad reaction to ice cream and I just never learn LOL.  I'm not sure what they put in it but it never fails me.

before surgery, ice cream was my favorite food.  since surgery, i haven't even tried one lick, because i was afraid of dumping.  i was really happy though, when i went to yogenfruz, and saw that they had a no added sugar low fat frozen yogurt, and you pick two fruits to go in it (i got strawberry and banana), it was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for sharing

I'm not sure what they put in it but it never fails me. 


Ummm... sugar??

I am glad your feeling better.  I have not had surgery yet so haven't dumped but from hearing about it I think I will do everything in my power to not be in a position to dump.  I HATE feeling crappy and I am hoping  this surgery saves me from all that, with my luck I will be a dump queen haha.

i wish you luck, i know you haven't had the easiest go with everything.  i am so thankful that i know now that i dump.  hopefully it will keep me away from the crap for a long time  :)

 Hate to be a downer... but you will touch the junk again.  We all do! lol  I dump at least once a month on my own doing.  

LOL Tab I was thinking the same thing!  I don't "RNY dump" but my DS body has it's own way of letting me know "I don't think so" yet I eventually go for that food again!  It's really quite crazy and proof that yep I gots me an eating disorder (like I didn't already know that though LOL)!

Anyhoo, I'm glad that you're glad about the dumping.

i find it funny that whatever we try to do...changing our mindset seems to be the most difficult.  dumping is good  :)

OMG...i couldn't imagine feeling like that once a month....but i certainly am a sucker for punishment.  i know that i will touch the stuff again, and i hope i am punished.  at some point, maybe, pavlovs theory will kick in?  :)
