Dumping...yikes!

I have been doing pretty well since surgery. I don't feel any restriction but I am really strict with how much I eat, so I am still loosing weight. For lunch today I had 3oz of canned chicken breast with a tbs of miracle whip, exactly what I had yesterday. Not even 15 minutes after eating, I thought I was going to die! I was having EXTREME stomach cramps, and was doubled over! Luckily I had my prep period (I am a teacher), so I had no students in the room. I literally ran down the hall, and luckily I made it! I never felt anything like that ever! I got a little nervous, so I called the dietician and she said I just experienced Early Dumping. She said I probably ate too fast and it just went right through! It was crazy. I just laughed! She told me if it happens again I needed to call her because it can cause problems. I was so scared to eat dinner, but I got my 3oz of lean hamburger in tomato sauce down, and no dumping! Geez the stuff that happens without warning!

Just thought I would share! :rolleyes:

    Well it is ladies! Straight from the dietician's mouth!

  • Never heard of dumping with the band, it is usually a consequence of a bypass. This seems very strange.

  • I have experienced similar situations and my gall bladder is long gone. Before surgery the only time I ever experienced it was after eating breakfast at dinners. Not sure if if was due to the fat us

The last time I remember doing it was a few years ago after polishing off a bag of Cheetos (hangs head in shame). We were on our way home from our annual trip to Central California in our motorhome. About 15 minutes after finishing the flushing nausea hit, then the cramps, the sweating, and the diarrhea. Good thing we had the bathroom with us!

There I was laid out on the floor, a big, hot mess, waiting for the symptoms to pass. It lasted about 20-30 minutes then I was back to normal.

So, Amanda, I don't doubt that you dumped. Ain't it a joy?
