Flying Angel....think of it this way. It's not what you CAN eat, it's what you SHOULD eat. Not all of us dump. I don't. For that reason, I have to be more disciplined in my food choices. So will you.

Sit down and rethink the reasons you had this surgery. The reason some people are getting upset with you is because you're sabotaging yourself. We've all been though this, and know how serious of a surgery it is and how life altering it can be. This surgery is simply a tool. It won't work by itself...you've got to work with it.

Something I'll point out....most of us can drink with meals without pain. But there is a logical reason NOT to do it. You'll stretch out the stoma (the small opening between your intestines and the new stomach). If you stretch that out, it can only be fixed by additional surgery.
