This Really Sucks



Recommended Posts

So I am 10 almost 11 weeks out and I ate my first sweet last night. It was my mother-in-laws bday so I made a cake. I told my hubby I was gonna have some he frowned at me. I said I am actually hoping I get dumping from it. Weird I know... But.... I DID NOT GET IT. I am so bummed, I was hoping to have the accountability so now I have to be stead fast ind use my own will power. It seems as though my body will let me eat just about anything :-(. Buttbuttttt I did not have this surgery to throw it away on eating junk so I will stay stead fast and make the healthy choices my body needs to stay on track. They'd for letting me vent guys....

mixed blessing on the no dumping, huh? but just cause you didn't this time doesn't mean you won't, at least I think you still could. But I am pre op. And if dumping feels anything like what I felt like in the middle of the night when my normally high blood sugar woke me up out of a dead sleep to the tune of 61, I never want to dump post op. Sweating, heart racing, vision messed up, two glasses of oj and some milk later I felt like I might make it.

so just tell yourself you might not have dumped then but you might next time and steer clear of that junk food.< /p>

Wishing you the best.

I'm almost six months postop and I have yet to experience dumping.

When I had my gallbladder removed about 10 years ago I would experience a form of dumping so I think I know what it feels like. It seemed like every time I ate Chinese food I'd have to run to the bathroom immediately. LOL

Honestly though, I'm more afraid of NOT dumping than I am of dumping, if that makes sense at all.

Right now it's just easier for me to say, "oh I can't eat that, I'll get sick." I have tried eating a few bites of bread a couple of times and it hurt like hell but I didn't dump. :-(

I am 10 months post op, I have had small quantities of sweets, example: 5 M&Ms, a bite of a cookie, etc. Nothing happened to me either. As some said above... just because it did not happen this time does not mean it won't. I was thinking that nothing happened because I had such small amounts. Even if you do have a sugar craving I eat my sugar free ice pops = 10 calories and I love them... theys satisfy my sweet craving.

That is why I was so sad that I didn't dump. But I only had about 4 bites. I just don't want to take the risk you know. I had this surgery to be a better me not to make the old same bad habits.

Sometimes you can have immediate dumping or delayed dumping. I dump more from bread than sweets. Everyone body is so different! You should really think of it as a blessing knowing on your birthday you can eat a small piece of cake without getting sick. You just want to keep this option for special occasions only.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
