What does dumping syndrome feel like with the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months post-op. May 8th 2014, I tried some Green Tea, and it was not sugar free. I broke out into such a sweat, that my whole body was wet. My heart was pounding like I was on a treadmill. I started to pass out, and shaking. I felt very weak and tired. I had to go outside to cool down. I felt much better about 1 hour later. I think I'm staying away from anything sweet for quite awhile. It looks and sounds like it was dumping syndrome according to other posts. Has anyone else experienced this? How are you handling it now? I'm afraid to go out and eat.

Absolutely.

It is an awful, awful feeling. Besides the physical symptoms, I have an impending sense of doom, that something is VERY wrong with my body.

I first experienced it a week after surgery when I very stupidly ate a couple of pieces of Valentine candy. It was an intense experience to say the least. FOLLOW YOUR GUIDELINES. You do not want to be eating sugar too soon, if it all.

I have also had very bad dumping a couple of other times, when consuming alcohol, but sugar is the main culprit and I avoid it most of the time even though I'm a few months out. You do not want to have dumping - horrible feeling (thank goodness it does pass).

I have not had anything with too much sugar, the most is 4g in my Protein Shake. I have had no dairy. I live only on broth, tea, Water, SF Popsicle, and Protein Shakes. Yet I go from cold to hot in a flash and my BM starts the day not bad but by noon I am rushing to the bathroom every hour. I am 7 days out.

you need to call your doctor, this sounds like C diff. its a serious infection you can catch in the hospital. call your doc right away!

After not having anything else but waters for weeks I was really craving some strawberry lemonade w/crushed ice from Sonic, it felt soo good but after about 30 mins I started sweating, having horrible stomach pain and had to run to the restroom... Long story short it gave me really bad diarrhea :( sorry TMI

Good Morning There...I found, anything with sachrin, sorbitol, and many other sugar substitutes give me bad loose stools. Once, I switched over to low sugar products the problem subsided. I'm able to handle anything with only 5g of sugar. Its not a whole lot. I guess, I have to stay more intuned with my body. I'm not able to handle too many different kinds of meat either. My stomach rumbles so loud, that my Shi-Zu leaves the room...lol

Feeling much better. Thank you all for your help. Eating blended Soups has helped a lot. I guess I needed the Fiber. As for the flashes. Dr said it was dehydRation. Drinking more helps. I also ,ade popcycles with Protein liquids. Helps a lot!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
