Dumping ?

Does everyone who gets the RNY get the dumping thing when to much sugar or fat is eaten? And does honey cause it too? How do you know what is too much?

My co-worker gets the "dumps" bad.. she had one bite of something sweet, like a pie.. and she got so sick, she ended up going home. I have not had ANY issues.. but I don't feel the best if I eat something too sweet.. and it makes me want MORE sugar.. so I try to stay clear... I understand it usually affects 30% of the folks that have RNY... I just did trial and error.. go SLOW.. start small, and pay attention to sugar content. I can have any sugar and it does not bother me. But I started off under 10 grams and went to 12 ect.. go slow like I said. Your body will tell you if it is not accepting. 

Thanks for the info ! 

As long as I stick to 10grams or less of sugar I'm alright. But I also dump on fats, carbs, etc.  Since I never know what might make me dump I'm pretty strict about what I eat.  I also wouldn't tempt fate by raising the amount of sugar I can take to see if I dump.  The whole point of the surgery was to use it as a tool.  Some people don't dump and gain the weight back if they don't use the first 18 months to change their eating habits.  I limit myself most days to just 10grams but on other days I won't eat any sugar.  I consider processed sugar to be toxic so I avoid it.  If I knew that I could eat any sugar and would never dump, I probably would still stay away from sugar.  I'm underweight now due to an AI that I didn't know I had, but even now being told to eat more, sugar and carbs are not part of my diet except for Cheerios.

I haven't dumped, but I'm only 4.7 months out and haven't tested it. I will say that I don't limit fats per se, so I assume they don't bother me. 

oh wow! I use only real butter and am hoping I can still use it after my operation. Do you use real butter ?

I use it for cooking. I use a combo of olive oil and butter for sautéing. I did go low fat in the months leading up to and the first few months after my surgery. ( I used non-stick cooking spray at that point )My dietician recommends low-fat, but other than fat-free Greek yogurt, I consume full fat dairy products. 

That being said, to start with....stick to what your surgeon and nut or dietician recommend...for now anyway. 

omg! So happy for you and all your weight loss! I am glad you still use a little butter.   :)

I do use real butter and full fats -- although, let me add the caveat that there aren't many things that I eat that require additional fats.  For example, I don't eat potatoes (butter and sour cream), bread (butter), fried foods (oils), etc.  However, I do use butter to say fry and egg or sauté some shrimp.  I also use sour cream in small amounts on taco beef or chili.  I use regular salad dressings (I actually make my own) -- and often make deviled eggs that include regular mayo.  Keep in mind, the amounts I consume are relatively small.  Before surgery, I probably averaged a quarter cup of ranch on a salad  -- now I use maybe a tsp… I used to pop at least 5 to 8 deviled egg halves -- now I eat just one.  I guess my point is that I do eat full fats but I don't eat a lot of them.  I hope that makes sense.  Looking back at MyFitnessPal -- it seems I average 23 grams of fat per day.

I am not an expert -- I am only 4.5 months out, so definitely listen to more experienced over me.  However, I will say that I haven't "dumped" as of yet.  

this is how I roll as many RNY do, no artificial crap,:) you are doing great!!
