Attempted eggsalad one night and tunasalad the next. Both times I got sweaty and almost immediately had to use restroom. Now I am pretty sure its got to be the mayonnaise but isn't "dumping" from sugar? I never really feel nauseated either. Just "lower tummy" issues. Besides "Dont eat mayo" does anyone have any insight about this?

Following

I dump on all sorts of things. Mainly when I have over filled my stomach, mixed solids with liquid, eaten dairy... dumping sucks.

Okay so... I dump A LOT. And yes... I have a sleeve. Yes you can dump with a sleeve.

Sugar isn't the only thing that can cause dumping- its sugar in ALL forms like bread, pasta... rice... think carbs. Carbs are complex sugars. In your body it's the same thing.

That said I love carbs and sugar and refuse to not eat them. So I live with some dumping episodes and life goes on. It sucks but it's worth it to me.

If you want to prevent dumping eat protein and very little carbs. Dairy also has a lot of sugar.

Dumping can happen from putting fluids on top of solids and over filling your tummy. So don't do those things. And you won't dump. Mostly.

Or do them. I do. f**k it. I like food and I'm gonna enjoy my life so sometimes I dump. It is what it is. Sometimes the cheesecake is simply worth it

Lol...thanks. So far Im dumping on tunasalad and eggsalad. Which sucks because I was really looking forward to eating them in puree phase. Actually 90% of my ideas for puree phase had to do with mayonnaise so now Im going to rethink my gameplan. Ugh. I didn't think about eating and drinking at the same time causing it so thanks for the heads up. I only thought of it in terms of feeling full. Oh God Yes.....some day there will be a f*#k it cheesecake day.....just not until I dont look like a cheesecake eater,lol.

Maybe your tummy just doesn't like mayonnaise anymore? Or it's too early for mayonnaise? I can remember dumping on a protein shake a few days after surgery.

I'm wondering the same thing as you! I've been on soft foods for 2 days now and so far all that I've tried to eat was egg salad and cheese. Woke up this morning running to the bathroom with diarrhea! Same as you, most of my soft food idea include a small amount of mayo. I just cannot eat tuna plain and the egg salad tasted divine.

I am on my 3rd week today. I made some tuna salad....7 ounce can of chicken of the sea with 2 tablespoons of the Kraft Mayonnaise made with Avocado Oil. I added onion powder and parsley flakes. Dry weight of can is 6 ounces so I divided the whole lot into 3 servings. The mayo literally did not taste any different than regular and it has half of the fat of regular. I highly recommend it as I did not have dumping but....every BODY is different.

Did you make this Tune and Egg Salad yourself? Real mayo doesn't have sugar. It is just Oil, Eggs and seasoning. Any pre-made Tuna or egg salad you purchase is going to have sugar in it.

Eggs made me sick early on, like the first 3 months. Horrible gas, pains, everything. I'm fine with them now.

I would put money on the eggs over the mayo.

Are you using Miracle Whip? I know that has a sweeter taste maybe it has lots of sugar?

I would like to try the avocado mayonnaise. I will wait until next week to try any mayo again though. The sweaty, uncomfortable bathroom trips were enough to scare me pretty good lol. I did make it myself and REALLY dislike Miracle Whip, but if I had used it that would make a lot of sense! Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I was told to wait an hour after drinking to eat and another hour after eating to drink Right now I am three days out after surgery and am having trouble getting 96 ounces down each day with tiny sips. t

If it was your first time trying those things, I wonder if it was the volume rather than the food itself? How much did you have? I could only manage 1 oz at first...

Have you tried making the tuna salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo? That's what I've been doing for the extra protein. It tastes all right. Not quite as good, but a good replacement.

Update, I just ate tunasalad again today and everything is good. I guess it was too early for me to eat it. Thanks everyone for the input.

That's good- I was going to suggest using Greek yogurt instead of mayo.
