Sleevers don't usually get dumping but it could be just your body releasing the fluids. If you are new to being sleeved then you really are not eating solid foods right now. It will go away in time. Unless there's something more going on...

I actually have experienced a kind of dumping syndrome both within the week after surgery and now. When I went on to full liquids (milk/soy base Protein shakes), it caused me to shake a bit, sweat, and run for the toilet. My body held nothing and I had to slow down my Protein Shake intake from 8 oz in 30 mins to 2 hrs to help me retain it. This is using low sugar, low fat, bariatric Protein shakes.

Now, I have a strong sensitivity to carbs. If I have a meal w/ 20 g total carbs (including fiber), my heart starts to race. I had 1/2 slice of pizza from a small pie, this triggers the same effect. I'm netting around 25-40 g carb per day, which is extremely low. My doctor says its likely reactive hypoglycemia, when my body produces too much insulin in response to a relatively high blood sugar load. Some patients experience thing after surgery, but you'll want to consult with your doctor to rule out anything else.
