Dumping Syndrome

[BeccaK 0]

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.

You dumped pure Protein? That does seem rare.

[Stevehud 1,790]

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.

Oh @@Josie quinn. I am feeling for you. Is only happened to me once and it was awful. Are you getting all the symptoms?

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.

Thank you @@FrankiesGirl

I'm sorry you had to endure that, but it's good to know I'm not alone and that it won't happen forever.

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.

@@cookarue isn't it the worst feeling.

how many weeks post op are you?

[cookarue 233]

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.

I've had the dumping syndrome 4 times since surgery 3 months ago. I cannot take really big pills, I can't eat spicy food, or greasy food (I tried two bites of Breakfast sausage, never again!)
