Do You Think This Is Sleeve Dumping?



Recommended Posts

I had ordered a side of 2 scrambled eggs and a side of ham at Patty's Eggnest this morning. It certainly was not a lean cut of ham and was dripping with fat/oil.

I took a bite of egg and also two bites of ham, chewing in between each bite. Immediately after the ham bites, I didn't feel so good. The voices around me started to dim and sounded like far away. I started getting dizzy and got a bad case of needing to throw up both slime and food.

I spent most of the remainder of our Breakfast in the restroom wondering what happened. Remember it was only two bites of it. I also got a bad case of diarhea. 3 or 4 hours later now I am finally starting to feel better. Boy, my sleeve was pissed off this morning and took revenge on me this morning for whatever reason. This has not happened before in the last 3 months.

The experience disappointed me a little also because I was looking forward to eating there after shovelling 2 tons of manule compost this morning for the garden (zoo-doo as they call it). I worked up an appetite for some yummy eggs and Protein.

Needless to say, I am going to think twice before eating ham cooked that way again and probably won't eat at Patty's Eggnest again either. I also noticed that all their food tends to be undercooked a bit and they even use butter for making their eggs.

Is this sleeve dumping? Please let me know your thoughts.

The sleeve can't tolerate really fatty foods... this has happened to me twice and also after the 2nd bite.... learned my lesson the hard way :)

Note to self: avoid foods that appear fatty when they show up!. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like dumping to me! Some will say with sleeve you cannot have dumping, but yes you can!! I really have to watch what I eat. If I can see the grease/fat/oil on it, I try to stay away from it. For me it takes a little more than 2 bites... well.. a little more time that is. I had a small piece of my fiance's steak one time, and it was very very greasy. I felt fine until we were waiting on the check. For me it lasts about 30-45 minutes, then I feel fine. I have not yet had the diarrhea after(knock on wood). I hope to never have that problem. My doctor's nurse said that eventually it gets a little better... but not by much.

Good luck!!

To me the greasy look to it would be the culprit. I'm only 10 days out, but have found that just the smell of things tend to turn my stomach such as french fries and fried chicken strips. I didn't eat it, but watched my husband. Just the smell started to piss my sleeve off. Hopefully that's a good indication that I won't be eating that stuff. I'm sorry you were so disappointed in something you were so looking forward to!

andycharris

you should always use butter - not margarine

a wise sleever can give the reason, then we'll both know ;)

That used to be true but not so much any more. All margarines used to have transfats but now they are making some margarines without the transfats - like Smart Balance and some others too.

I think it's more likely to be the grease than the fat. I eat brisket quite often which isn't lean, but it isn't greasy either.

You are right absolutely right BTB.

There was definitely a lot of grease on the ham probably because they cooked it with other greasy meats or didn't clean the grill first. I thought about it briefly but the right alarms did not go off for me until it was too late.

We should be cautious and conscientious of how grease looks in prepared food as to not go through this horrid dumping experience again or ever

Fortunately i am normally very careful about keeping my sleeve in a happy state by eating at home where I know exactly what is going into my mouth.

A pissed off sleeve is not a fun experience. Imagine the talking orange on youtube with machine guns in a very bad mood...

I've using the heck out of my grill. Made some ribeyes and ham steaks this afternoon. On fact the coals are still hot. Kinda hard to make greasy food on the grill. In spite of what happened to you, ham steak and eggs sounds good for Breakfast in the morning.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
