Just curious about your sugar experience

Dumping does not happen when you eat too much or too fast. That is something else, and which I have experienced a couple of times (e.g. foamies, severe nausea). I have eaten some sugar post-GB and have not had any issues doing so or dumping, nor have I experienced RH. Everyone is different.

(FYI - I am currently below goal weight and in maintenance.)

My RH started app 10 months post op RNY and it got worse with time.

Remember, just because someone posts that they eat something, doesn't mean that they SHOULD be eating it!

I have still kept any sugar content below 10g per serving, aside from dairy or fruit. I do not do well with simple carbs (RH) so I just chosen to assume I would react poorly to sugar.

I'd like to avoid any problems if I can. The worst problem I can think of is that nothing will happen and I will eat ALL THE CANDY and ICE CREAM in the world.

slider foods are the devil...

Just think it's been this long already-why break the streak?

Oh, I have no plans to break my streak!!

I seriously doubt you have consumed zero grams of sugar a day since your surgery. Sugar is naturally found in lots of things- milk, yogurt, fruit, etc.

I did not eat anything with more than 6 grams of sugar in a serving until after I reached goal. Now at 9 years out I eat things with added sugar from time to time. Sometimes it makes me sleepy and I take a nap. I do not get sick otherwise.

I agree with Laura. Just as an FYI, I have pretty bad RH, and my worst reactions have been off of naturally occurring sugars, i.e., the milk in a latte. Depending on the day and other cir****tances, my blood sugar will fall like a brick 2 hours after finishing a coffee. I'm talking like a blood glucose level in the 29-39 range.
