Well, upon trial and error, we learn what foods don’t agree with us. We are responsible for the things that go into our mouthes. After experiencing dumping syndrome a couple of times, it finally clicked in my brain, to either continue the way that I was eating foods, that I really shouldn’t, or be smart and don’t eat trigger foods. It makes me laugh that some people complain that they are sick most of the time after Bariatric surgery, which is usually because of bad food choices. I’m not perfect! When I do eat something that I know is going to affect me, it is my own fault. Backing up, before my surgery, my Dr. had me meet with a Nutritionist and a psychiatrist before and after my surgery. That is really important. Even now if I don’t pay attention, I can dump after 20 years! I can’t overeat or I’ll dump. If I eat too fast, I’ll dump. I have a friend who had the surgery also. He eats nothing but junk. He hasn’t gained any weight back, but, he’s nutritiously starved. He is still dumping about 5 times a week, (if not more) it got so bad that he ruptured something that had to do with his surgery. He’s killing himself slowly. Just be smart. We all think that we can push the envelope, my self included, and do what we want to do, then complain about the consequences. ie. the surgery didn’t work. I’m always sick. I’m always throwing up, etc. good luck. Remember it’s a tool, not a miracle or an easy way out.
