First off welcome and I hope you can join in a lot. I have been on this board for almost a month and I have found it helpful. For me, my preoperative diet was Optifast shakes 5 a day x 14 days. I could have as much Water as I wanted as well as sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. The first 4 days and last 3 days were rough. Surgery for me was rough. I am only 5 days post op and I am struggling. The support on here has gotten me through. Just pace yourself 1 day, minute or moment at a time. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

He doesn't want me drinking the optifast shakes from preop due to the sugar content. I use premier protein but I am still about 10-15 grams under goal.

Welcome

Dumping basically is triggered by high sugar or high fat content. The food doesnt stay in the pouch long and will rapidly emptying (dumping) during this process you can get heart palpitations, dizziness, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

The sweating is probably related to digestion as your body used the food it produces energy. Freezing I haven't been to justify. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

i think the pill thing is not about swallowing it is about being able to have them in you long enough to absorb the medicine. I have a BP pill that is repulsive crushed but I force myself to choke it down every morning. So gross though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I thought the same thing. I chew my meds in the am and crush my pm Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I know your feeling. I just had surgery on 12/23/16. I have been home two days. I wondered if I made a mistake. The answer is no. This is what I want. I am learning my pouch and it took about 24 hours for my pain control, but now I am doing ok at paying clothes attention to what I eat. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
