when did you experience your first dumping episode following your surgery..i had mine today drinking sweetened gatorade i ran out of the zero kind....

A few months in eating a dessert tbh ?

❤ Get well (and zero Gatorade) soon ❤

One or two bites of some dessert at Christmas (about 2 months post op). Was in the bathroom alternating between barfing, dry heaving and ?-ing for approx 45 mins. And i’m not even a very-big-on-dessert-person in the first place!

Horrible.

I’ve had it probably 2 more times since (and I’m 8 months post op now). Mixed drinks and wedding cake were the probable causes those times.

Never, so far. I am avoiding anything with sugar. I made two birthday cakes this week. I feel so good after turning down the cake and ice cream. The short term sweet taste is not worth the risk of dumping - not when I hear how awful it is from everyone else's experiences.

I had what I think was an episode of dumping syndrome a little over a week ago (4.5-5 weeks post op). It wasn't sugar, but really bad scheduling on my part... I was late with my mid morning protein shake and then ate lunch (roasted red pepper soup with unflavoured protein powder) a half hour later. Within 15 minutes my heart was racing, I was dizzy and had to lay down, nauseated, and many trips to the toilet. Learned that I have to give my body time to process everything I consume.

Had my first experience 2 weeks post op, was in the shower got light headed and nauseas, then all of the sudden diarrhea with continuous shaking it was horrible especially because I don’t know what I had eaten to bring it on.

0ne month after sleeve ate a few bites of an avocado. man did that hurt.
