Exactly what is dumping....I think I just dumped help me

Dumping happens when you have had gastric bypass and you eat too much sugar or fat. Your body cannot process those items.

I have also had mild cases when I eat too fast.

You get the sweats, your heart starts racing, stomach cramps, you can either vomit or get the diarrhea or sometimes when it is really bad, you get them both.

I have only ever had mild versions but it can be very uncomfortable and depending how severe can ruin your day.

What happened? What did you eat and what were your symptoms?

I had a bowl of cream of wheat and lunch chicken noodle soup

I think I need to just stick with protein shake plan and frozen

Generally your body warns you prior to reaching dumping syndrome. As you eat a meal, the food will taste good. Then after several bites you find that the food becomes revulsive. Also you may develop other symptoms for example I experience hiccups or my nose begins to drip. Whenever I reach this point I stop immediately because if I take one more bite it turns into full dumping syndrome.

So watch for the clues. Others on the board may chip in and talk about their symptoms just prior to reaching dumping. Its and interesting subject.

Thanks James

I tried the wrong protein shake it made nauseous and gave cramps and diarrhea no racing heart though
