Finally learning what the dumping syndrome feels like

[patrickm613 1]

Over the last six weeks it was hard for me to determine what the signs and symptom of my dumping syndrome are. I did realize when I over ate my pouch, I would get sick and vomit. I was unable to able to define what I was feeling when I ate/drank sweets for example.

I was able to drink a venti Starbucks drink without issue. I didn't realize the shaking and feeling of low blood sugar over the next hour or so was my body reacting in a negative way to the sugars in the drink. I also just felt sick and I thought I just needed to eat something to equalize out my low blood sugar. I would also shake like I was freezing. Not so.

It's hard to believe it took me 6 weeks that I am finally listing to my body. I was looking for the burning bush. I wanted the hard, physical symptoms what I witnessed from videos online. I thought I would have the clutching my chest in pain. This is not happening for meI guess everyone is different.

Generally dumping syndrome for me is vomiting for several hours. There is a stage just before you hit dumping syndrome when your body tells you that you are almost there. It is important to be able to tell the signs so that you do not experience dumping. For me, the signs are that food begins to taste awful. Sometimes I will hiccup or sneeze. Also my body generates mucous, so my nose may drip. It is these early signals that you watch out for.

Perhaps others on this site might describe how pre dumping affects them.
