Well tonight I had my first dumping episode. I ate cantaloupe, which I thought was ok but later found out that even fruit sugar can give you dumping. Let me tell you I will avoid at all costs in the future!! Bloating, stomach cramping, nausea, sweats, salivating. It’s the worst!

Yep I wanted to be sick and go to the toilet at the same time as well as being lightheaded, sweating and cramps! Absolute nightmare!

So I have a way to compare, how far out from surgery are you?

Who would have thought that cantaloupe could cause so much grief. Thanks for the heads up. Hope you are feeling back to normal by now.

I had my first case of dumping recently and it was from a cough drop that was sugar free ! I had diarrhea for a day and a half and couldn’t eat anything ! I’ve been straight liquids since the episode and am losing a lot of weight .

That may have been from the artificial sweetener that it worked as a laxative. This is the case for many people. Even those without WLS.
