Dumping And Sliming... Ugh



Recommended Posts

So, had a major dump session today. My tummy and back hurt so bad for awhile today that I seriously thought I was DYING. I even called my pulmonologist and tried to get in to see him. After I slimed, I felt some better, then I came home and had to climb into the shower fully clothed. I'll leave the why to your imaginations.

Lessons learned: Dont take my Vitamins without that essential mini babybel cheese and easy on the veggies. I snacked on broccoli, carrots and cheese last night...along with about six pieces of chocolate halloween candy, over the course of seven hours. Today, I paid for it. No more junk food.

You know, it doesn't take much for us to slip back to old habits. Just a couple days ago I was eating pork chops with grilled yellow squash. It was sooooo yummy. Basically, I went back to inhaling. I ate too much, too quickly and, just like you, paid the price. I was on the verge of sliming and was hoping I would throw up I felt so terrible.

I just wasn't thinking and let my taste buds take over. I wasn't hungry, but I kept eating.

But, I guess that is the joy of the sleeve. It reminds us.

I've read that Sleevers don't get dumping syndrome :/

Sounds like what I read was wrong... Why does this happen with the sleeve?

I could understand getting dumping syndrome from eating too fast or too much, but the other day I was out and about and had an egg and sausage with a friend at a restaurant. Within 20 minutes I had a dumping episode. I haven't had one of those since before my surgery 10 months ago. I have been eating eggs and sausage for months now with no episodes. Blahhhhhhhhh! I hate dumping.

Sorry to hear about your episode but your writing about it definitely helps us newer sleevers be more careful.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
