Question:
Do you ever dump/eat too much....?
I had surgery 3/13/02 (loss of 118 so far). I am a sloooow loser, however, my question is about dumping... sometimes I dump on things I have eaten many times before with now effects, has anyone else done this? Also, there are times I can eat ALOT (at least in my opinion) and other times I can't eat very much... does anyone else experience this too? (However, I don't eat as much as before... no where near). I also experience getting hungry within 2 hours of eating and feeling VERY full... is this normal? HELP please, I want to loose another 35 lbs. thanks! — Kay W. (posted on August 4, 2003)

Hi there. I had RNY 9 1/2 months ago (down 114, 60 to go) and have had
protein bars many times. This morning I had an Atkins Smores and I
definitely dumped on it here at the office! Thankfully it was a mild,
feeling funny kind of dumping. About the times you can eat a lot or not - I
just started working out harder about 2 weeks ago. I went from playing
tennis for an hour 6 times a week to going to the gym and I noticed an
increase in my appetite. I was able to eat my 1/2 c of cottage cheese and 3
strawberries and an entire protein bar last week for breakfast (over 1/2
hour). I was freaking out and I called my surgeon who said it is normal to
have hungry days. I don't quite understand the last part of your question,
but when I start feeling hungry, I fill up on water. I only feel very full
if I've overeaten or eaten too fast. Hope this helps.

I had surgery Sept 3rd 02. I was 260 now down to 148. I don't think I have
ever dumped so I can't answer that one. I do worry that I can eat too
much, like you not as much as before. I also worry that I get hungry about
two hours after a meal, also, I'm hungry after I drink. I do try to tell
myself that the weight is still coming off, more slowly now, so we must be
doing ok.
I can't eat a whole Carb solution bar, makes me feel wierd (maybe this is
my way of dumping?) But, I just love Balance bars and have these for snax
when I'm busy.
This hasn't been much help! Good luck!
