11 months out. Few issues... are they normal?

Hi Sweets!

I also get diarrhea once in a while. In my case, I'm totally convinced it comes when I eat too much sugar. I spoke to the doctor about it and they said we can not physically dump, but that we can have reactions like diarrhea to certain foods or sugars. I am at goal and trying not to lose anymore, so on Saturday on my way to the beach, I ordered a regular caramel frap for the extra calories/fat and within the hour I had rush to the restroom and BARELY made it LOL (sorry if TMI). So you are not alone my sleeve sister LOL!

Hugs!!!

P.s. I will be 11 months out on Wednesday yayyyy!

I just went to my 6 month post op, and the NUT talked about reactive hypoglycemia. She said is is common among sleevers, and the symptoms are similar to dumping syndrome. What happens is that we eat more sugar/carbs than we are used to, and then our bodies respond by releasing extra insulin. For some reason, the body will release way more than needed, and then low blood suger happens. shakes, sweating, diarrhea, and light-headedness are some of the symptoms. Sounds like that's what happened.

Yep that has DEFINITELY happened to me a few times. Although I figured it was something to do with blood sugar it is great to hear exactly how it works. Thanks a lot for the info x

I am 3 months out and have not lost much- 25 lbs... but after the issues i am having i dont even care about the weight at this point.... Since the surgery I have such loose stool and a sensative stomache...I take 2 acid blockers a day at least... i DO NOT and have had to completely cut out coffee, acid jouices, citrus, tomatoes, GLUTEN, MILK.... I used to LIVE on milk products.... I am chained to th house all the time because i am scared to have t run quick to the bathroom... It seems to be an absorbtion issue.... fats maybe? i am self pay and dr does not seem to care much-"oh, well it will take awhile to regulate..".. but this just seem exessive....I am not abl to digest veggies much either.... I just dont know what to do and do not know if anyone else is having this trouble... i think my lack of weight loss is due to that i dont dare move around much as i will mess my pants... i am misrable... does anyone know anything similar????
