Hi guys I had my RNY July 16th and there are times after I eat that I get very ill I'm not sure if its dumping syndrome or not. Today I tried egg salad mind you I have had eggs with problem but after the eggs salad about an hour and a half later I got really ill with nausea, head ache, and the feeling of diarrhea. I went to the bathroom and had a BMW it was soft but formed but I still had the stomach cramps for a long time after. I don't know if I'm eating too fast or what. I know a meal should last 30mins but it was a tiny amount of egg salad made with one egg hard to make last. Please throw me some tips I don't want to feel like this.

Fat free mayo? ?? Usually when they take out the fat the replace with sugar. Check the label..of it had more than 5 grams that's the answer..dumping!

Could be the high-fructose corn Syrup in fat free mayo. I was told that is a no no.

I guess it's going to be a learning game. The problem for me is I was supposed to see my dietician but ended up in the hospital with emergency back surgery so never got to see her. So I know I'm on the soft foods stage but really don't know what I can and can't eat yet. I feel like my intestines are always bubbling which is annoying.

I feel like I am struggling with understanding the signs I am getting from my body.

I had a terrible time tonight with dumping....my body reacts (sweating, shaking, dizzy, etc) but it holds onto the food. I just have to lay there in misery until it passes : (

Oh Em Gee... Me too! I never puke it even if I try. I just have to take it like a champ and ride it until the wheels fall of.. or until I fall out.

One thing I have learned is to park my behind in the recliner for 30-45 min after each meal. Rest is crucial for me until my entire piping calms down. Learned my lesson with this one a couple of times. Not funny.

I'm not a puker either. I haven't dumped yet, but if I eat something too fast or too dry I get that horrible 'stuck, gurgly' feeling. When that happens activity helps it pass faster. At work I'll pace the hallway. At home I'll cut the grass. :-)

I've never puked either , knock on wood, but my intestines are always bubbling and I'm tired of it :( I don't know if I'm the only one or what. It feels like my intestines are always angry no matter what I do.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
