At almost five years post op, I think that's a pretty normal amount to eat.

It was way more carbs than I normally eat. I went out for dinner. I did not order my own dessert but my friend got cake and I ate some. Not enough to make me dump, but enough to trigger the RH, I'm sure. It was GOOD cake, though.

HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
No. I was actually getting ready to make a protein shake when it started. By the time I finished my shake, I was fine.

Oh, not me! I can eat a TON of crackers. My glucose just drops an hour or two later.
