An dumping manifest itself as a hot flash? Today I had a chocolate smoothie king gladiator with peanut butter and banana. Feeling menopause like hot flashes. Anyone ever feel like that?

No I honestly haven't.

I am only about a week and a half post op but sometimes things I eat (obviously not still doing liquids bc I had to have real food lol) give me hot flashes but I have never gotten sick and thrown up. If anything I just get a couple of hot flashes and it passes. I would like to know though if it has anything to do with dumping...

That happen to me about 2 weeks out when I ate mashed potatoes. It was horrible.

Pretty sure you are 100% not allowed any starches

i am told when i go to week 3-4 i can have mashed potatoes, HOWEVER i was told to puree it with turkey or some form of protein because just carbs (starches = HUGE CARB LOAD) will make you dump. I am thinking of doing pureed turkey with a bit of mashed potatoes and seeing when i am at that stage.

I have the hot flashes. I think it is dumping. I go back to the surgeon Tuesday and i am asking.

I have thrown up once from beef broth. I am two weeks post op. I understand what you mean by hot flashes. There are some liquids I drink where I get that hot flash and i worry that it will come up. So far I prefer cold drinks to hot. I started mush yesterday and have kept things down but I do get dizzy and warm.

I got that with diluted apple juice. I was still having post op diarrhea so wouldn't have noticed it anyway. But had wicked hot flashes an felt tired.

I had a little bit of fruit juice mixed with a few blackberries and 1/2 a banana and a little milk with my Calcium powder blended with ice and half way through my drink I had to keep myself from vomiting at work for 25 mins today

Try steaming cauliflower till its very soft and blend that like you would mashed potatoes. Tastes almost the same, sat better in my pouch than potatoes.
