First thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes I do eat protein first, and no sweets, fats and very little dairy. They are always going to make me sick. Yes the doctors have done tons of blood work and other tests. As a matter of fact, I had to leave our Christmas dinner table and go to the ER. My blood pressure had dropped dangerously low and my kidneys were shutting down due to severe dehydration. After 24 hours in ICU, and 6 bags of IV fluids, I was released. I never thought of stress being a contributing factor, but I guess that could be a factor. I appreciate your input!

Hi everyone, I am new to this, or any group. I had the gastric surgery in Feb 2006, weighing nearly 430 lbs. in one year, I lost 210 lbs. I gained about 50 lbs back the following year traveling every week for work. But I maintained the 160 lb loss for many years. Little by little I gained another 50 lbs back, but was still 100 lbs less. About a year ago, 17 years post surgery I began having many many problems with dumping, nausea, dehydrating and severe diarrhea. As a result I have lost about 90 of the 100 lbs I had gained. I have seen gastric doctors, Bariatric doctors and all types of specialists and nobody can find anything wrong, yet I continue not to be able to eat. Has anyone on here ever had these issues and if so, what did you do? Thank you!
