I just ate a two small bites of sugar free whipped cream and a SF Jello and felt faint, weak, shaky, and sweaty, and maybe a little queazy, I am assuming this is dumping... am I right? Now my intestines are mad and making noises. The whipped cream was sugar free but not Fat free- please don't hate on me if this was a mistake, I am just looking for some nice girl advise.

I had not heard of people who got the sleeve having dumping issues. i thought it was strictly with bypass. But here is what I found:

Gastric Sleeve Complications: Dumping Syndrome

Dumping syndrome is also one of the least common gastric sleeve complications. This happens when foods or liquids with a high content of sugar moves rapidly to the small intestines, but it rarely ever happens since the digestive system is not altered, only the stomach size. However, if this does happen you may experience shaking, sweatiness, lightheadedness and sometimes even diarrhea. So it is a must to go easy on deserts, alcohol and sodas as well.

I would think that it's not technically dumping syndrome because our intestines were not reorganized :) However, I will tell you that there are certain things I can't eat without getting an upset stomach. I find my stomach is a lot more sensitive than it used to be. There are certain things that really keep me in the bathroom. I'm pretty happy about it actually ! lol...it keeps me away from them!

It's not technically dumping, from what I understand, which occurs after bypass surgery and is caused by sugar ingestion. However, as a veteran of many, many diets, I'll tell you (and you have also probably experienced it) that if I ate a piece of fried food after being on a "low-fat" diet for a couple of weeks I was in the bathroom pronto afterwards and the results were not pretty. So yes, I have "dumped" but not in the RnY sense; same outcome, though.

I can't drink milk because it effects me that same exact way. It might not be the sugar it could be the milk.

This is so funny, I too had sugar free whip cream, and let's just say, I was in the bathroom the rest of the evening. I will never eat that stuff again!

Wow... I feel like that around half the time after I eat, no matter what I eat. I'm not even sleeved yet! The doctor told me it was all in my head and to diet and exercise.... yeah.

Don't you love doctors when your overweight. I go in for something like strep throat and they are all like, well if you didn't have a weight problem.... UGH. I have to blame this episode on the amount of fat that was in the whipped cream. I don't think my body could handle that since all it has been getting is FF stuff. Oh well we live we learn, no heavy duty fats!

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
