To Dump Or Not To Dump



Recommended Posts

Just wondering when additional grams of sugar will be tolorated by my system. Right now I try to keep at no more than 5gr of sugar per food. I'm at about 7 weeks out and recall buying a wrong Protein Drink and it made me dump (literally). It had 23gr sugar per serving. Is this something that will gradually increase on its own or am I destined to live with out the occaisional inlaws cookie etc... with out worrying about destroying my and my home's plumbing. :o

Thanks in advance.....

Do you have the sleeve? I have never dumped. I feel real full if I eat too much. Sugar does not bother me at all, I wish it did a little bit. Usually the RNY are the people that dump. We may feel sick when we over eat or eat too fast and it goes away in a couple hours.

It's never happened to me also. I thought that happened more in the bypass surgery?! Sugar has not bothered me and I am three months out.

Ive dumped twice. Im kind of glad i do because i have a sweet tooth like nobodies business. But im only 17 days post op. From what i hear, there's a 50% chNce for dumping syndrome in sleevers. I have a 10 gram rule now, anything greater is just too risky.

Yes I had just the sleeve done. Taking in too much sugar is a bad thing for me, unless it has more to do with fat or carbs. I think I'll just lay low for now, dumping syndrome isn't a wonderful expierience, I'm just glad it's only a temporary thing and can be prevented.

Even though i've only been sleeved I have dumped at least 1x that I remember. It was not pleasant., You get this blood rush, and it feels like the faucet is opened wide. Happened with a very sweet fruit tart. I really watch sugar ever since.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
