Different kind of dumping syndrome?



Recommended Posts

I have been ill almost constantly since my surgery on the 10th. At first I didn't pass gas for four days. I was concerned but after being able to have a bm, my body decided that it would only tolerate any type of food on one of two conditions. I either have an upset, angry stomach or I'm in the bathroom shortly after consuming anything.

Has anyone heard of this? Is it a normal side effect from the surgery?

Down 35 pounds since surgery though

Hi there

Your details alongside your post say surgery was 2 May - you had more? Can you update your profile - might help people to give informed responses!

I am one year post surgery. I am in the bathroom 2 or 3 times after my first meal of the day (coffee Protein slushie!) and then my bm are over for the day. But it took maybe 6 months to get that regular. I unpredictably mixed up diarrhoea and Constipation for the first few! But it seems my body fought to find a new routine...

I'm sorry about that. My original surgery date was supposed to be May 2nd. I was rescheduled a half dozen times before I finally had gastric sleeve on December 10th 2018

You're still early on in the healing process, there isn't a normal for your body yet. I would probably talk to your surgeon about it to see if they have any recommendations or insights.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
