Can some answer a question for me



Recommended Posts

Tonight I had a sugar free Popsicle and about 30 min later I felt light headed and started to get nausea. I feel miserable by the belly pain but nothing too bad. Is this dumping? My Popsicle was sugar free so if it is dumping how can that be? Any suggestions and advice would be great.. Thanks.

Hmmm...could be..did you eat it pretty fast? Did you drink anything afterwards? Dumping happens when it's pushed to fast to lower intestine

Sometimes feeling that way can also have to do with the amount of overall fluids and Protein you are getting. Symptoms could've just coincided with eating the popsicle. Getting something stuck is having excruciating pain in the chest/sternum region sometimes helped by throwing up (usually by not chewing properly). Dumping feels more like a stomach virus, cramping, uncomfortable, diarrhea, sweats, etc.... Just as in a stomach virus the food just "runs" right through you. You might experience things slightly different but once you have both yo won't forget. It's definitely the reminders that we need sometimes to slow down and eat properly.

Sugar free thinfs contain sugar alcohols which can cause dumping.

I just found this out in my nutrition class today. She told us to read all labels and try to stay away from sugar alcohols.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
