I never eat sugar or cereal but I dump daily on regular food. Doesn’t matter what it is...I still dump. My dumping consists of being nauseous, and sleepy. It usually lasts for half hour to 45 min and then I’m new again. I tried keto frozen yogurt (only had 1/4 cup) and dumped big time that lasted hour plus. I guess this dumping keeps me in check...I don’t know.

Thanks for sharing your story Tracy. Sounds like all is well and you’re learning your new tummy and digestive system. All is well here also. I’m down to 189 and getting my strength back. Worst issue for me is dumping and stomach aches...going to get checked for ulcer to rule it out. Let’s stay in touch.

Our stories are similar. I too agree I’m healthier now, but it is difficult at times as food just makes me sick. Im hoping as time passes it gets easier

I dump if I overeat usually or eat something my body doesn’t like. I dumped real bad the other day in an Adkins bar...several weeks ago so dumped real bad on a Glucerna shake. Both have no sugar, no carbs so not sure why I dumped so bad... made sure to try them twice in case it was a fluke. I think there’s some type of chemical or ingredient Incant tolerate. We’re going to compare and see. I only dump for about 30-45 minutes then I’m ok again but it’s awful. I can’t vomit so I just take it. 🤢

Tracy, My goal weight is 175. I gained a few pounds and I’m up to 206 from 199 which is so weird because I’m eating about 600 calories only a day. I think it must be water so I’ll see what happens next week. I still get sick when I eat...I literally just got done dumping a few minutes ago...it was terrible!!!🤢 I ate a handful of pretzels (mini ones). ...never again! I can’t vomit so I just drool and pray for it to pass. My left lung is still at 60% and I’m still wobbly on my feet but I’m healing. Xo

I eat soybeans (edamame) instead of popcorn. Much healthier too!

Hi Tracy, sorry to hear about the Gerd. Bypass is supposed to fix that so I’m concerned for you. my Gerd is gone completely but I still get nauseous after I eat food...it’s better than it was a few months ago but still there. My weight loss is very slow. I’m 203 and started at 264 (bypass July 18 2020. One would think that after 3 months in and out of hospital (not bypass related), I would have lost much more, but it’s ok, I’m in no rush. I hope you’ll see your doctor regarding f the Gerd. The meds are not good for your pouch long term. Xo

Thanks for the info! Does this help with nausea? That’s my main issue. Digestion is not issue for me. I get terribly nauseous with every meal😢

Hello, I had severe gerd due to hiatel hernia (stomach was 4 inches into chest cavity), and stomach polups. I hd no other choice but to have bypass. I don’t have Gerd anymore, but occasionally I feel a burning in my stomach when I need to eat. I hate this surgery!! I’m miserable and nauseous all the time and I feel very sad I can’t enjoy food anymore. it’s quite depressing.

Thanks. It’s very difficult to thing this is how the rest of my life will be. I absolutely hate that I had to do this surgery. It was not my choice at all.

Hello, I’m nearly six months post RNY. I’ve had a rough road because my surgeon nicked my spleen during bypass so I’ve been better. Everything I eat makes me sick. I eat clean, slow, and small portions. I’m quite depressed because I do want to eat. Protein shakes don’t make me sick, but doc said if I don’t eat solids he will put me on feeding tube. Reversal of bypass not possible since 80 % removed due to mass and small tumors. Has anyone else experienced nausea after eating for this long?

Thanks Tracy. I didn’t take measurements but I did lose inches. I was a 22/24 right and now I’m a 20 which is slightly big on me. I know I have to be patient, it’s just frustrating when other are losing 20 , 50, haha.

Yes doing much better but weight still super low. It’s been 7 weeks and only lost 13 lbs. Also I get super sleepy if ive had a good meal. I usually stick to protein drinks and yogurt but yesterday had tiny container of mashed potatoes and I swear I was in a food coma. FelL asleep for half an hour.

That’s wonderful!!!! Congrats to you.

We are similar. I had surgery 7-18-20. Weight 264, 2 days later released from hospital and weighed 275. It’s been a month and I’ve only lost 10 lbs from surgery weight. No cheAting very strict but not too much exercise due to rough surgery . I’m older at 55 so perhaps that’s reason.
