I have never vomited. I have never dumped. I did have a few episodes with foods that didn’t sit well. When this happens it feels like I’m having a heart attack. Once it happened with diced ham. Once it happened with this protein cake thing I ordered from here. I ate two bites, felt like I swallowed a basketball. When it happens, you’ll know. I had a strong stomach before my surgery so I’m not shocked by my lack of nausea, vomiting, or other things some people experience.

You are fresh out of surgery. If you’re staying on the liquid diet within all your parameters, you shouldn’t be dumping. Some may get nausea but that’s somewhat normal. Even when you start eating, not all people get dumping. I don’t and it was a concern for me; but then again, it’s all self control. When you start eating foods, even soft foods, you may have an aversion to some.

Drinking my Smoothe Move tea in the hopes of moving things around, Some abdominal pain but nothing that is to bad, I am enjoying taking a nap mid day, it feels like a real luxury, Still struggling to get my protein and water in daily. 2 more weeks of full liquids then 4 weeks of soft proteins. Looking forward to real food. I have lost 5 lbs since my surgery although I am not focusing on it. Hang in there ladies, we got this!

Thanks for all the responses to my initial question! sharing my outcome in case someone wants to know how it went. I ended up having trouble keeping liquids down. I'm allergic to NSAIDS and react badly to opioids. I believe right after the surgery I was dosed with some painkillers, and it made me sick. So I earned an extra day at the hospital. So day 3 I went home, still a little queasy (could have been my husband's driving as well). I was back working day 4, the day after I got home with the following caveats. I'm not on any pain meds, and I am working from home. I'm mainly just catching up on emails in between resting, walking, and drinking. We are each different, but that has been my experience. I suspect Monday I'll be back on my game mentally. Thanks for all of the input.

Follow-up meetings..... Surgeon doesn't care what I eat, says I am doing g good and to keep at it, just get my protein in and not worry about my next to zero carb intake (eating lean meats with fat and little carbs) Nutritionist on other hand nearly gave birth to a cow when she saw my diary of not getting much carbs. Oh well. Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app

Lainafoust, I am in exactly the same place as you. Very irregular b.ms, and very few. I was sleeved June 4, 2018 and I might have one good crap per week.....maybe. I will try the milk of magnesia trick as mentioned in previous post. Good luck! 😊

I’m 2 days post op, taking all my pills without crushing, they’re going down ok. No where near getting my protein or water in but I’m trying. Slight nausea, a lot of abdominal soreness, some gas. Ready to move on.

None of the practices where I live do the swallow test. They do a blue dye test in the OR. There is a chance you will not need it! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for your replies. Well, at least it is only once more. Hopefully from not so many positions....the laying on my stomach drinking out of that huge straw was the worst. One barium test down, one to go. Onwards to the sleep study tomorrow night.

So I haven’t even had this surgery yet and I’m already isolating my self from triggers of family, friends etc. I am seriously feeling like this is the best way for now because either people are super insensitive or they just don’t realize the words that come out their mouths. So until I’m good and ready I am MIA.... rant rave over and out
