Made me wish I was dead. So painful and scary. I don't even want to eat anything. I'm afraid. I didn't eat anything that day that I haven't eaten before.

At what point can I stop worrying about this?

You might want to include more information, as in, what did you eat, how much did you eat, what type of surgery did you have and when?

@only1belinda interesting ... my surgeon said that with the sleeve having dumping syndrome wasn't very common ...

I agree with @@Stevehud - please give us more info ...

I ate a pureed egg whites in the morning, and pureed tuna in the afternoon. I'd done this several times before and was fine. The dr days that is not uncommon for the pouch to deny foods that it may have already seemed to tolerate.

Is this something that can happen, forever on?

Or at some point in time will I be able to not worry about it any longer? I am one month post op.

its possible you had a bad egg perhaps and that it mimicked dumping? i only had dumping once and it was from an egg very early on, but never happened again. keep your head up!

I'm five weeks out with gastric sleeve, and I've had dumping issues for the past week. I thought it was the cheese I tried, but I haven't had any cheese today, and I'm still going.

Of course, I had dumping problems long before my gastric sleeve surgery. It just took a lot more food to make it happen before surgery.

If this continues, I'll be calling my surgeon.

I threw up and had a bad reaction every time I tried to eat eggs in the early days (after being cleared to eat them of course!)

It took until I was about 4 months out before I could eat them and keep them down and now they are perfectly fine.

Only other time I got the laying on the floor sick as a dog feeling was eating full sugar ice cream at about 2 months out. Still won't eat that stuff again (I might eat the no sugar diabetic type now, but that episode was horrible and turned me off ice cream pretty fast!)

Some things your stomach will just take a dislike to for now. But it seems like it is just temporary. Give it a month and try the food again and if that is too soon, give it another month and see. You'll probably get back to tolerating them again at some point.

I had my first horrible reaction today also. I have had a light string cheese in the past, and I was fine. I ate half of one today, and BAM!! I was vomiting (nothing came up), and I felt like a brick was dropped into my lower stomach. It took about 30 minutes and a 1 hour nap later before I was fine. Now I am just sore from all the dry heaving. It may have been dumping, or it may have been a blockage because string cheese is a "sticky" food I'm not really sure. It's just odd that I've eaten it once before, it's not sugary or greasy, so I thought I was safe... I'm sorry you had to go through this, I really do feel your pain.

It's literally the worst. It just snuck up on me. If I had eaten candy or something, I'd have expected it. This was a total surprise...

I am 3 1/2 weeks post Op from gastric bypass. I'm not going to complain though 32 pounds down from starting weight. 17 down since surgery.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
