Our support group here recommends buying bennifiber, put that in your Water or whatever you drink! Also buying muralax, that's a good one too!!

Yes!!! @@BLERDgirl I'm on it lol!!!

First off What kind of surgery did you have? Dumping doesn't usually happen to people who had the Gastric sleeve. I to had a bite of a hot dog 8 days out, not the bun only the hot dog, I chewed it over 40 times before i swallowed it, I also had a little bit of spaghetti the next day and a bite of ice cream. I had no side effects AT ALL!!! I swallowed really slow and took small bites. I felt and feel fine. Im still doing my shakes. This morning 11 days out I had some scrambled eggs. Sometimes I think it depends on the individual. the day after surgery i was out Gambling and shopping for I did my procedure in Las Vegas. I feel great. not to mention I lost 28 pounds. dont stress over it you know youre body better than anyone else. Hang in there. Soon you will eat again but you will get full and satisfied really quick.

Don't feel bad about this, BUT DON'T DO IT AGAIN! You do not want to do anything that causes a leak. It's tough right now, (trust me I'm going through it as well - 2 weeks post-op) but time will fly by and you will be able to eat normally soon. Remember why you had the surgery...and don't let old habits rule you any longer.
Good luck!

Thank you sooooooo much, I truly appreciate your feedback. I was beating myself up all night. I didn't understand why I did that to myself. I felt the guilt eating at me all night. I took a hour walk and I still felt super guilty. I'm glad it's over, today is a new day.

I am not a bariatric specialist or surgeon so all I can share is what I have been told/advised.
When you have part of your stomach removed, nerves are damaged. It can take about 6 weeks before you actually "feel" accurate sensations from your stomach. I personally found that tidbit of knowledge scary and it really made me rigid about complying with my "food progression" from liquids to solids. I was scared of causing damage. I was terrified of developing a leak or other complication.
What is done is done - what you can do now is immediately get back on your program and just do it. The big mistake would be to let this be the first in series of "messing up" in these early weeks. Truth is - none of us are perfect but we all know this is serious business and need to do our very best to have much success and get healthy.
Now, I am guessing the reason you didn't have diarrea is you didn't eat lactose (milk/dairy products) and you didn't eat sugar. The worst and I mean worst experience I had was about 2 weeks post op when i added some creamy Peanut Butter to a Protein drink. It was Christmas and I was still on liquids and feeling sorry for myself not being able to have the holiday meal with my family (I had a very slow progression to solids since I was a revision from band and had lots of scarring - surgeon was being extra conservative for me) . OMG, I think I had what is called dumping syndrome - but I felt like I might die. I am sure it was the richness and sugar in the Peanut Butter. You should count your lucky stars you didn't have that happen as I thought I might just die right there. (diarrea, sweats, hot and cold nausea, and general feeling of horrible)
