Is this dumping syndrome?

This morning I woke up feeling loads better, day 5 post op.

I thought I'd try and drink a Protein drink straight away to get it out the way, so I warmed up a cup of milk and added a scoop of vanilla powder shake to it. It was a bit sweet and sickly, but doable. I drank it, fairly quick maybe, within about 10 mins.

Then I started sweating so much, my tummy was churning, I needed to be sick or sit on the toilet.

Nothing happened either way, and I went to bed, fell asleep, and woke up 2 hours later.

What's all that about??

:-(

Try lactaid

yup, it's dumping. i am still an avid milk drinker post surgery, because it is one of the only liquids besides Water and tea that i can tolerate (that is ALL that i drink).

i find that fat free milk prevents dumping, while if i sip on 2% milk, i will be dumping within minutes.

go down to fat free milk and try to drink a bit less each day...it should alleviate some of your symptoms!
