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.

      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... :(
