Oh it was horrific. I just had another round of vomiting and it was not fun at all! I don't ever want to experience this again!

I remember when my sister ate a Hershey's kiss after her RNY and dumped. She was petrified after that. Feel better!

That is not dumping. My doctor says that is sweats, nausea, diarrhea, flu symptoms, heart racing..

I have had what you had (twice) after eating some chicken breast and it hurts so bad! I'm waiting a while to try it again.

Oh ok... Yeah, it felt like the worst indigestion of my life. Is that what you felt too?

It was not, I get it. Whatever it was, it felt like I was in Hell...

Lots of pain, lots of burping, lots of saliva building up in my mouth, but the craziest thing was my sinuses got really stuffy for some reason.

That sure as heck sounds like dumping to me. I've experienced dumping several times after getting approved for normal food. Only once or twice did I experience the running to the bathroom. But every single time I had the drooling, slimy feeling. Sometimes there would be a foamy saliva, sometimes excessive sweating, but always a general feeling of awfulness. It is not always diarrhea and stomach cramping. Nor is it limited to the symptoms I described.

I've never heard of anyone dumping from chicken breast, but I guess it could happen if it was actually fried or smothered in some sort of sauce. Generally it is caused by a higher fat or sugar content, but simple carbs or vegetable fats (avocado) can cause it. Regardless if you experienced dumping or severe indigestion, it sucked.

Yes, it was hell, I am not going to sugar coat it. It was one of the most horrifying things I have ever experienced in my life.

Dumping doesn't feel like indigestion. It's diarrhea with stomach cramping. It comes on quickly and goes away.



Not always. Mine started out feeling uncomfortably full. Then a lot of burping. Then excess saliva and intense nausea. Taking an Gas X tablet helped. I never had diarrhea or vomiting. It's different for everyone. Eat SLOWLY. Don't eat to much.

Oh believe me, I have learned a very valuable lesson yesterday. I am supposed to start on soft foods this Thursday (eggs, chichen, tuna) and I am terrified! There is a lot of conditioning involved in this surgery and I have learned my lesson the hard way!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The worst "dumping" I ever experienced was when I went to a usual restaurant with my fiancé. They have been amazing with accommodating me after my surgery and will make me a plain chicken breast and veggie plate for just a few dollars! Well they got a new cook who was unaware of my restrictions and cooked my chicken breast on the flat top where they warm the buttered Buns for burgers/sandwiches. After 3 bites of chicken it was INSTANT drooling, chest pains, and stomach cramps! I left the restaurant right away and in the 10 min drive home I pulled over 6 times to vomit on the side of the road! It wasn't the chicken that caused it, it was the butter that was on the flat top! My body can't handle even the smallest amount of butter!!

Oh, I feel you. I was wondering this morning if what did it was the butter instead of the grits. I am definitely not going to try and find out...

My guess is it was the butter, but I wouldn't want to find out either. Grits aren't a necessity so if I were you I would just omit them from your diet and remember the pain they made you feel! Replace them with a steel cut oatmeal (there are some great overnight recipients on Pinterest, just watch the sugar content!)

Don't ya love how everyone keeps correcting you? Hahah drives me crazy. I had RNY on May 31, and experienced something that I thought was dumping too, but apparently it wasn't. When did you have surgery?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
