I think I found it. My heart rate was crazy and I was so shaky. I had to travel for work and I thought I was being wise getting taco meat and beans with the cheese. Huge mistake. I'm still feeling shaky. Hope it passes soon

Ahhh..... I hear ya, you will find out real quick what you can eat and what you cant. Feel better soon.

Thanks you. I had a rough 45min and it passed. Thank The Lord. I hope not to ever have this happen again but venturing out with new foods again I'm scared now.

I hate that feeling...If i am traveling, i usually bring my own Snacks and food with me cause I never know what I am getting from the outside and I never know how my pouch will react... (safe foods is what I call it...) *sighs* the things we go through now...

don't be afraid to try new foods...just do it when your home first...(works for me

when do you usually discover you have dumping, i am almost 3 wks out and i have had juice in the hospital and the usual yogurt, protein shakes,applesauce etc....would I know by now?

My first was around week 3....but as you broaden out and are eating new foods is when you'll really find out.

I thought dumping was sweets and fat...why beef and beans and cheese...was it fat?

Dumping can happen with any food/drink. If you eat or drink to fast you can dump. I had my first at 4 weeks post op - off Tums!! Myrtle the pouch tells me what I can and can't eat. If she doesn't like something, she throws it right back at me.

LOL....Myrtle?...How cute!! I want to name my pouch now....hahaha.....Tums, really??

I don't think I have ever experienced dumping. I am over 4 months. I am careful about what I eat but now I wonder if I will? Ive thought about eating something sugary to test it....but I'm afraid that if I DON'T react....knowing that will be a problem.

Maybe I should just rely on the fear of dumping??

Oh I'm having a reaalllyyy bad episode right now....I'm miserable : (

Ok so im trying to figure this out on my phone. I want to hear from post opp patients. I have my screening/evaluations Oct 4th and im very excited and nervous all at the same time. I need positive outcomes!! I keep reading and hearing how dangerous this can be..please help! I really want to go through with this.

I've had plenty of episodes of food getting stuck and a couple of eating to fast w/similar painful unpleasant results. I haven't had anything w/sugar, fat, pasta, rice, white potatoes or white flour - all things I've been told to stay away from. I don't know yet if I'm a dumper. The fear that I will is enough for me to avoid the foods I've been told can cause it. (I don't need to get burned to learn to stay away from fire. Lol) Whatever works...

Hang in there. It's really not that bad. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and can tell you I thought it would be a hell of a lot worse! There are horror stories for everything but it doesn't mean you have to be one. Hang in there!
