I had surgery 4 months ago and have never had a dumping experience. I have had occasional diarrhea but no dumping which I'm OK with. I know my limits and stay away from foods high in sugars or carbs.

Im 3 months tomorrow... And have been able to eat anything without any problems - but ive not tried anything sugary. The only thing that has made my stomach go a bit funny was a small slice of watermelon ( i couldnt resist it with feta cheese)....

Just curious if there is anyone on here that doesn't dump?

My dumping is more like hotflashing coupled with dizziness and nausea. Ive only done it like 3x and it was never from bad foods

I can eat and drink anything without dumping. I don't dump... Which I good I like my Protein Shake with a little maple sweetener in it. My nut said that it was fine. I just have to be sure to chew well, I've gotten food stuck a few times and had to bring it back up.

I haven't had any dumping issues. I was surprised since I hoped it would keep me accountable. I just have to make sure to hold myself accountable and change my habits so I don't get back to where I started!

I am also 4 months post and don't experience dumping. I must say I was very disappointed about this! My surgeon just laughed at my honest answer, but I wanted it to fear testing the limits.

Working on my self control is hard :(

I am two weeks post op and thus far have not experienced dumping. I've made sure not to eat or drink anything known to cause it. I am hoping that it is avoidable.

I have taken small bites of a Peanut Butter cookie, and a small bit of brownie, did not get dumping. I'm actually ok with not dumping. Sugar and sweets were never my downfall, I am a portion hog. I cannot just eat a normal serving size of anything, I have to eat an army's worth, so the restriction is the part that I love. I only even took bites of those because the kids and I were making Christmas Cookies and goodies for my annual Christmas party.

You and I are the same! It was quite an adjustment to only be able to have 2-3 bites and BE DONE. I hurt if I eat more. I've accepted it and I am happy that I am actually full! Portioning has always been my issue- 3 to normal 1 serving- started when I was preggers....... Well it got bad when I was Prego. I've had issues forever! Now I feel very full and I love it. I think I am going to be a slow loser. I am 14 days out and only lost 15lbs. I know that is great, but for some reason I thought it would be more!

Me too! Can't do any yogurt. : ( but I can take a bite or two of any sweet and be ok. Half a cookie is too much. Excess fat also makes me feel icky nausea gotta go to bed. Then in hour and a half I'm fine. It's weird...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
