Re: fat absorption/dumping

[Guest guest]

Good reply. so now a second part to my question....what is dumping on fats

consist of? You mentioned bloating, diarrhea.....anything else? I don't think

I have ever dumped on fats, but who knows? Maybe I just haven't recognized it

as that. I don't eat a LOT of fats anyway. I have had reactions to like say

...ice cream at times. But I attributed that to the lactose. I got gas,

cramping, bloating, felt really really yucky. I could eat a little bit and not

feel bad, but if too much, then ...yuck! Could that be dumping on fats?

Re: fat absorption: Question

Chrissie,

I'll tell you what I know...others can chime in and correct me if I'm

wrong...or give more detail to what I am saying. It is true that we do not

absorb fat very well. I for one, run to the bathroom over certain fats. Not

to mention the horrible bloating that I'd prefer not to deal with. It is

true though, we need a certain amount of fat in our diet. Saturated or

unsaturated...help me guys. My surgeon and others in the diet world have

told me 30 grams of fat a day. It is an important part of anyone's daily

needs. We, as WLS individuals, cannot digest the bad fats. I'm not sure how

much we actually get of the good fats. For me, some fats give me no

problems, so I'm guessing some must digest...somewhere in my common

limb...I'm distal. There is no science for me. After almost 10 yrs (May

17th) I know what I can and can't eat. I will tell you that my cholesteral

is very low but not below the normal range. Bad fats are bad for " normal "

people as it makes for great health risks. As for us...it makes us

miserable. Part of our tool.

Chrissie,

Everyone is different. For me though the two are very simular. Fats (not

all) make me feel like I will be sick right away. Lactose (not all dairy) is

extremely painful digesting for me. Other than those two, they are very much

alike. This is me though.

When I dump on fats it has to be alot, and it just kills my stomach <run

to the bathroom> kinda thing..I went to the show today with my son, had

some heavily buttered popcorn and within minutes was running to the

bathroom! It wasn't pretty lol Fat gets me more then sugar does now. As

a side note a few years before I had WLS surgery I went on a very low

fat (under 10-15 grams a fat per day), high carb diet and lost TONS of

weight within a short period of time (quit and gained it all back + more

of course). So for me it wasn't the sugar making me fat it was allll

that fat I was eating.
