When did you experience dumping for the first time? Cause I’m over a month post op (bypass) and haven’t had it yet..

Hopefully you'll never have it. You'll know it when you have it. From what I've read it largely has to do with consuming too much sugar/carbs in one setting. So avoid doing that.

Yeah I know what it is. Just curious of other people’s experiences with it shortly after surgery

Almost 3 months post gastric bypass and no dumping as of yet. I don't plan on it either!!

Fingers crossed for the both of us then?????

And for me also! I do enough emesis already,don't need THAT cropping up too!

4 months out and never had it and never want it. I am committed to absolutely no sugar, juice or concentrated carbs for the rest of my life.

So today I am making a fancy birthday cake and I couldn't believe that I actually stuck a finger full of frosting in my mouth! Old habits die hard! I immediately spit it out and washed out my mouth. Good grief! Scared me to death - the thought of dumping!

I am 5 months post RNY and I get dumping. Can’t remember the first time I had it.

Sometimes it’s because I’ve eaten something that’s not so healthy, sometimes it’s with a healthy food that I have been eating regularly. They are not always carbs, sometimes food such as yogurt triggers it.

My dumping generally manifests as shakiness, palpitations and generally feeling weird. I do not get the runs which is what most people seem to think dumping is.

it felt like death. it was the most nauseous i have ever felt. it was almost like food poisoning and you don't know when you will have to run to the bathroom. I honestly had to skip work it was so bad. ive had it once and never again

Im thinking I ate watermelon (which i always eat but by itself) to soon after my lunch

I had my first dumping episode at about 3 months post op. It was from a couple bites of some dessert.

In about 5-10 mins after eating it, I got the shakes, my heart started racing and I stared to sweat. Then 5 or so mins after that I got the runs. Then I barfed. Then more runs. I felt like total crap for about an hour then fell asleep.

So yeah, it sucks.
