Found Out I Am a Dumper By Accident



I have been diligent in not eating simple carbohydrates because before RNY I was a major sugaraholic.
I knew I could handle up to 20 grams of sugar in combined sources of low fat dairy and fruit.
Today, I wanted to add a little crunch to my 6 ounce Chobani 0% fat blueberry yoghurt (20 grams sugar) so I added 1 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal (6 grams sugar)-total sugar: 26 grams, total protein: 27 grams.
When I was done I felt dizzy, sweaty, stomach cramping, and like I was going to vomit.
I am so happy I am on the Dumpers Bench...LOL because I was afraid I could not count on dumping to keep me on the straight and narrow for the rest of my life due to my past addiction to sugar.

I dump even on natural sugars (watermelon, applesauce) and really dump on simple carbs. Some were by accident (e.g. a NUT told me to eat mashed potatoes, my body decided it wasn't a good idea; I thought the applesauce was no-sugar-added, etc) but I know I willingly put myself thru the torture of dumping on watermelon.... it just smelled too good!
