Dumping 5 days post op

[simplestmind 0]

I think I am dumping already and I'm not having anything I'm not suppose to. I am drinking Water, Powerade zero, Decaf tea and have had Jello. At first I thought it was just diahhrea, but now I don't think it is. I am not over drinking so I'm not sure what else to do.

Having diarrhea while on a liquid diet is not at all unusual. Also did you have sleeve or bypass etc. without knowing its harder to help. To borrow a line from the Grateful dead, "...the first days are the hardest days..."

also i hope that is sigar free Jello. regular Jello is just jellied sugar.

Are you sweating and shaking? I mean if you are on a liquid diet, you can expect liquid BMs.

No sweating or shaking, I have the sleeve done. Yes it is sugar free Jello.

This is normal. It will go away. Im 12 weeks out and I had for about week. Dr and nurses at the hospital even told me it would happen.

I had it until I started soft foods.

I thought "dumping " was a rny thing? I think it's just your body saying hey where's all the food I use to eat haha think of it as a cleansing it will get better

No it isn't just RNY thing. I was and now worse with regular sugar. I found out in hospital with boost. I drank it and 15 minutes later I was sweating and wanting to die.

I oops and did it one other time. Haven't touched it since. I mean nothing. The nurse said it does happen and depends on the person. I am not going to keep trying since sugar is bad anyhow for me to keep it off long term.

It's much less common with the sleeve, but it can happen.

Often people confuse a bad reaction to what they ate (diarrhea) with dumping syndrome, but diarrhea alone doesn't mean you had dumping syndrome.

Dumping is rare for sleevers but can happen. However it is not uncommon for people on all liquids to have runny stools. It typically goes away once you progress to solid food. If you don't have any of the other symptoms, then it's likely just runny stools from the diet.

I have been using almond milk to make my Protein shakes for years. I was still having diarrhea three weeks post opt and it was getting worse and worse. Finally realized that it happened after I drank a shake. I bough some ready made shakes and haven't had a problem since. I know it wasn't the Protein because I am able to mix it in with other foods just fine. I don't know why I can no longer drink almond milk.
