Random dumping at 18 months post-op?



Recommended Posts

My sleeve is pretty tough and can handle every food I eat regularly. The things that used to bother me don't anymore, which is great.

But every once in awhile I dump on a food I've eaten many times before, and it lasts for DAYS. I'm currently on day 3 of everything just shooting through my system. Every time I take a bite of food, I need to poop right after, and its not solid. It does hurt, but not in my "sleeve" stomach area, more like my lower intestinal area near my belly button.

Anyone else have this? This time it was a small bowl of Life Cereal. Also wondering if the fact that I increased my Fiber by a lot recently is adding to it? Is it something I just need to ride out and it will regulate and get used to more fibrous foods?

I called my surgeon and waiting for a call back, but when I mentioned it at my most recent appointment, she wasn't concerned. Hm.

So, I don't have dumping in the way that you do, although my stomach is a little B that hates food, so I am fairly accustomed to being sick. That being said, Life Cereal before the sleeve and after is something that gives me significant GI movement. If I recall correctly it is because it has way more Fiber in it than I thought it did and just flies through me. I haven't had it more than once or twice after the sleeve, but before the sleeve I used to eat it regularly and I knew that it would end up causing quite a bit of poop Soup.

Maybe the cereal is more the issue and not your sleeve. Hope you feel better soon!

I would suspect lactose intolerance plus all the sugar in life cereal.

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

      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! 😞
