Please share your dumping experiences.... What happen?? How did u feel?? Was u at home or in public?? Thank u

My first, with bypass, was last weekend. I believe it was caused from to much sugar. Got some mild gas pains, and then the urgent message I need to get to the bathroom. Immediately knew this was dumping, once it was over felt 100% better. Now I have had dumping experiences in years past, it comes on sudden and at times you don't have time to get to a public restroom. I always carry a complete change of clothing in my car for these situations. Mine usually occurred within 30 minutes after I have ate something but never could pin point what it was I ate that caused it. Now with the bypass I have not had the problem except this one time and I can live with that as I know what caused it. Hope this helps.

I've only experienced dumping syndrome a few times, but I knew exactly what it was. I still do not know what I ate to cause it, but the abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea, was enough for me. My nutritionist said it may have been the sugar alcohols in a sugar free life saver. They will get you every time.

It's not dumping as such as sugar alcohols have this effect in people who haven't had surgery. It's just the effect sugar alcohols can have. ... On anyone :-) I must admit, they never have that effect on me so I guess I'm lucky.

I have dumped only once in 6+ months and it was the late dumping. It happened on Raisin Bran Cereal. I grabbed the crunch variety instead of the other box which had less sugar. I only ate a small portion for the Fiber. About 2.5 hours later I got dizzy, light headed, and my pulse and heart was going like crazy. I also was sweating profusely. It lasted about 30 minutes and was horrible! I will never make a mistake again and watch sugar and carbs very carefully! Im including a link that is very helpful in explaining the difference between the two types of dumping and their symptoms. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
