Dumping on empty stomach



Recommended Posts

I’m 7 weeks out and have the weirdest thing happening. Just about every morning I have the symptoms of dumping and this happens on an empty stomach. Vomiting, diarrhea, chills and lightheaded. How can this happen on an empty stomach? Anyone else experienced this?

it wouldn't be dumping - that's when too much sugar or fat passes quickly into your small intestine. I'm not sure what that is - I'd call your clinic and let them know.

Come to find out, mine was caused by taking my meds and Vitamins on an empty stomach. I eat Breakfast first then the meds. It’s cured my issue, so maybe it can help you too.

Yes, It helped me as well. Also I noticed that if I eat before bedtime, I have this problem. I stopped eating after dinner now.

Could this be hypoglycemia? (Low blood sugar)

      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! 😞
