I'm post op, day 5.

I was feeling hungry at and lightheaded at 8pm because I didn't eat very much for supper as I felt full.

I had sugar free jello with protein powder mixed in as my snack at 8pm.

About 20-30 minutes later I suddenly felt even more lightheaded and slightly warm and panicky and a slight headache.

Is this dumping? Could it be something else?

Thanks.

It sounds with the panicky feeling sounds like hypoglycemia. But dumping is like that too and so is lactose problems. The protein powder. Check and see if it contains milk.

Yep sounds like dumping. Alit of people cant eat the sf jello due to the sugar alcohols in it

I see. Odd that the milk I drink has 6 grams of sugar in 125ml and I don't seem to have an issue with that.

I am praying and hoping I'm not one who will dump on most things I eat.

As for hypoglycemia, I hadn't eaten very much that day and felt extremely hungry when I ate that jello.

They gave me Chewable Centrums which I find very sweet.

Obviously I can't stay away from all sugar right? The would be nearly impossible.

Am I making too much of this and panicking for nothing?

Thanks again.

No one has ever experienced the dumping symptoms before surgery? Or am ia odd duck.

One day I had my regular protein shake. Body fortress chocolate one scooped mixed with fat free skim milk. I had been drinking this months before surgery and for a couple weeks after then that day 30 minutes after drinking it I dumped on it. Classic symptoms shaky panicky nauseous instant diarrhea I felt I was dying. I became lactose intolerant that fast but now a couple months later I have no problem with milk but I am still scared because one day you can be fine next day make you sick then day after your fine again. That's the weird part of this surgery
