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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
