What does dumping feel like?

I just ate 1/2 cup of watermelon and my lower abdomen started hurting really badly. Not near the pouch but like near the colon. I feel awful right now. Nauseated and in pain.

Is this dumping?

My Dr said it feels like having the flu.

I thought that's what having the flu feels like. Either way those are also the symptoms my Dr described.

For me Dumping is severe cramps quickly followed by explosive diarrhea.

I didn't have diarrhea but I did have terrible cramps and felt nauseated. It went away after 45 minutes so it must have been dumping. It felt awful. :(

It feels like hell, you can throw-up, get the sweats, cramps, poop (pretty much what was said above) its the worst feeling and it takes time before it goes away.

I think it's different for everyone. I'm fairly certain I had a case of it today - sweating, major pressure/fullness in the chest, heart racing, and nausea for me. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought I was having a heart attack. And my stomach is STILL growling - I can hear it and feel it.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
