You may be prone to dumping. Had you had that many carbs before?

i was eating macaronni , with chips and some mashed potato , but i was eating them so slowly , i guess it is the dumping syndrome because im drinking Water and still feel there is space in my stomach . Do you think this is serious ? or just normal because its my first day eating macaronni since surgery

It sounds to me your body over-reacted to the carbs (a.k.a. sugar) in the food you were eating. Probably gave your body a jolt to have those foods after almost a month of liquid.

Take it easy and make sure you eat very slowly next time. If your doctor is similiar to many plans, you should be eating about 1/4 of a cup at each meal right now. Take 20-30 minutes to eat that much.

Just curious - what kind of chips were you eating? If "snacky" chips, you should be VERY careful. They could do some damage to a healing stomach.

Welcome back to the world of "real" food. :)

actually when i was faint and panicking my mother gave me a peice of chocolate and i felt so much better and thought that my sugar was low which made me faint . onion chips with low fat from marks and Spencer . I haven't eaten all day and i ate so slowly and chewed the food thoroughly before i swallowed it

I felt this same way in my 4th week a few times as I was trying new solid foods. I backed off my 5th week and have been slowly trying new foods, but relying still on mostly Protein Shakes and my sleeve has been much happier. Listen to your body. Not all of us are ready for solid foods just because our meal plan tells us it is time to introduce them.

Remember Protein first then carbs makes a full and happier sleeve.

The macaroni had too much sugar and fat in there. That was your stomach telling you NO don't eat that stuff. Protein first, always.

what do i eat to get my Proteins , its my 25th day

In my plan, yogurt, milk, Protein shakes, cottage cheese, cheese, flaky fish, dark meat poultry, and any Protein (chicken, pork etc) mixed with low fat mayo such as egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, salmon salad etc.

On my 25th day I wasn't ready for most of those foods yet, so I continued on full liquids and sampled foods (a bite or two) for flavor and fun, but not nutrition.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
