I think I just had my first dumping experience last night. I am 15 days post-op, and I just got the OK to go to soft foods yesterday. I tried some boiled egg (half at a time) earlier in the day and it went great! For dinner, I tried 2 ounces of tilapia. After 1.5 ounces, I was full and quit. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks - I felt sick. I felt totally miserable and wanted to die. I felt like I had to throw up, but didn't. I tried laying down, walking around, sitting, standing - nothing made me comfortable. This morning, I woke up feeling better, but my stomach is sore. I feel totally guilty, like I totally screwed up. I am hoping I didn't do irreparable damage to my sleeve! But the rational side of me said this is probably just a "dump" - the first of many I might have in the course of this sleeve - and that it was bound to happen at some point. Hope it never happens again, but I know it just might....

Don't beat yourself up. You are supposed to try the foods on your list slowly. Remember, your stomach is just like a baby's tummy. Wouldn't give a baby an enchilada - oh my.

If you eat something and it doesn't go so well, just hold off on that food and try it later on.

I'm out two weeks and think I may have a problem with milk products right now. Holding off on some things. Craving some crab salad. Going to make a health recipe and try an ounce today. We shall see.

I thought with the sleeve we don't get dumping only if you had bipass or switch. I think your sleeve just didn't like the tilapia.

Sounds like you were just over full. From what I understand, dumping usually involves cold sweats, rapid heartbeat, and a few other unpleasantries...
