I'm 6 weeks since VSG and I dump too.. Anything overly fatty or sugar have me feeling immediately nauseated then 1 HR later I'm on the loo.

I've experienced this, especially in the period right after surgery (Protein shakes of all things. My body absolutely cannot handle them). Trying to get through the first two months post-op with no Protein Shakes was...uh, not what I expected with this surgery.

I still have a problem with super greasy or rich foods, but it tends to cause nausea and disgust right away, as if my body is telling me "girl, you will NOT like where this ends, stop now."

People: get your information straight. You CAN DUMP with a sleeve. And it's brutal.

Any surgery that removes a portion of your stomach can cause dumping.

I have not seen people saying that you can't just that it is less likely with the sleeve. which I think would still prove to be true.

I don't know if it is a good thing (to help you make changes)

or a bad thing (for obvious reasons)

but we should all be here to support one another on our journey to better health.

I dump, too, at 3 years out. Do you usually vomit or poo? Just curious.

I don't vomit or have diarrhea. I get horrible horribly nauseated to the point I cannot move, just curl in a ball. My heart races and my stomach cramps but no pooping. I sweat and if it's really bad I have huge amounts of urination. (15-20 times in 30 minutes with floods of pee ) It's very similar to hypoglycemia.

Afterwards I'm exhausted and dehydrated and sometimes hungry. This happens about 3-4 times per week.

It can be brought on by sugar, fat, too much food volume, drinking after a meal.

Ah. I usually get the sweats, tummy pains and vomit. If I eat ice cream or cream based Soup, it all comes out the back door in a few moments.

I've dumped from clam chowder before too :( too much fat.

How can you get dumping syndrome from a Protein Shake? When Protein does NOT cause dumping? Sounds more likely to be lactose intolerance. And there is a very simple way to avoid it: stick to the diet that your NUT gave you. Also one study is not the end of the story. They didn't say 45% in fact have dumping syndrome, it said that they had symptoms that MIGHT be suggestive. And yes when I eat crap ....wait for it... I feel like crap. So what do I do... I try not to eat that stuff. I LOVE that my new tummy dictates healthier food choices. I crave protein and veggies. I cannot tolerate junk food. That is a good thing. That is why I got the surgery.

You obviously don't have dumping or you wouldn't be "thankful" for it. And yes, you can get dumping from a Protein Shake. If it has too much sugar or fat or the Fluid empties into your lower intestine Too fast and there is any sugar at all.

Dumping isn't "feeling like crap from junk food." It f**king sucks. I'm 120 pounds and I dump so I know I'm eating right okay? I'm not living on junk food.

Rude post. I love how people that don't suffer from something think that understand it.

Let's see if you're still sticking to your nut diet in a year. And if I stuck to my nuts recommended diet of low carb and 1200 calories ... Wait for it... I'd be dead of starvation by now.

You absolutely can dump with a sleeve. Kill the sugar and kill the fat!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
