it sounds like a kids book. But it was less fun than that.

Turns out applesauce is not my friend.

Wasnt super bad some clammyness some diahreah and some cramping. But I only had a bit.

The story is last sat night I had a shake with milk protein powder yoghurt and a bit of applesauce

i had an awful night

some of that was I think from bad sleeep. I had restless legs and tried to turn on my side. That was painful and awful after that I was full of pain and clammyness runs and cramps. So this morning I tried applesauce to see if that was a problem

it was. Two tablespoons and it was bad news

was not as bad as expected but that was unsweetened applesauce and only a little bit. We are not tempting the dumping gods again

and thanks for all your support!

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!

Yikes. Sounds awful. But good for you for testing it, taking it slowly, and listening to your body so closely. That's such a victory!!!

You are nailing this girl!!!

OHOH...so sorry ... you take care....

.I have a question... does dumping on something mean timing or you can never have it again because it is being rejected?

When I asked the nurse it could be timing this early out. They tell you to try again a few weeks to a month down the road.

Oh no; I guess the natural sugars and fibre in apple sauce are just too much for you now. Maybe later on, in another month or so, it will be better.

I had trouble early on with half a mango. Not true dumping, but tummy upset and the runs. I haven't tried one since, and I love mangoes. I'm sticking to berries and watermelon for fruit for now though. I'm fine with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and they're lower carb than most fruits.

I always have protein with fruit...usually Greek or Skyr yogurt with the berries, and a pepperette or cheese with the watermelon. I can safely have a quarter cup of berries, and 0.5-1 cup of watermelon.

I tried apple twice (no skin) and it tasted lovely but upset my tummy after only a few bites.
