flying angel - I don't dump either. at least not so far. Like foxy fuzz said, it can happen later.

I had a cupcake for my birthday. I ate it slowly and with great relish. It was delicious. I was almost 6 months post-op, though.

The things you mentioned aren't typically things that make you dump, but they might make your pouch uncomfortable.

I was going crazy 1 - 2 weeks out. I was so sick of the protein crap they gave me (I've since found some stuff that I like) that the first time I had scrambled eggs they were like heaven. And I don't usually like eggs!!!

If you are having real issues with feeling like you want to eat (and not feeling like you can control it), you should probably go back to your doc and get a counselor to talk to. Food can be an addiction - and if something as drastic as surgery isn't helping you control those urges then you might find some benefit from talking to someone about it. Really. I once was able to stick to a strict Atkins diet for almost 2 years (and lost 100 lbs) in part because I was seeing a therapist regularly. It's really helpful in figuring out why you want to eat.

good luck.
