Think I Got My First Case Of Dumping!



Recommended Posts

And yes I am excited about it!! LOL

I had one small small bite of cinnamon coffee cake.... Within 20 mins had a little visit with the potty and now my tumbly's a little unsettled feeling.

I am happy cuz I was really hoping something's would upset my stomach after surgery. I feel like its just a little something extra to help me control myself.

My body does not like straight sugar or high fat foods any more. I ate half a cookie on mothers day and had was in the bathroom all that day and half of the next. Now when I see the really sweet stuff, I don't have a desire like I used to. I know it will make me sick (it doesn't really taste as good either does it??).

I could be wrong, but what comes out of you today has more to do with what you ate 24 hours earlier. It takes about that long from the time you eat something until the time it comes out of you. Sometimes it takes even longer.

However, dumping syndrome is from your stomach to your intestines (not what comes out of you) and can create a feeling of nausea, dizziness, heart pounding, etc., but it is not suppose to occur with sleeve patients. I think it happens with gastric bypass though.

You are partly correct, yes, your body does take time to process the foods that you eat, however as a defense mechanism if your body detects toxins,very possible that it would identify refined sugars as such (especially after not having them for a while), your body will attempt to flush the toxins from your system quickly to avoid absorbing them.

I've experienced dumping in the past, related to stress and I can tell you that you can pass everything in your digestive tract very quickly. Sometime I was certain that I had eliminated things I hadn't eaten yet. :)

Yeah it does take time to process..... But think about food poisoning.. That doesn't wait 24 hrs

:-P

Don't wanna do this again. Abdominal pains and diahrea isn't a good way to spend Sunday... Especially when u have to go back to work on Monday!!

I'm 4 weeks out and def have dumping. I actually hoped for it. I didn't recognize it right away. It happened a couple of times but I learnt my lesson. My hubby even said stop touching the same hot stove!!! It's a process.

It may not technically be called dumping, however, the body gets used to not having the high quantities of fat and sugar. Eventually, you could readjust your body to handle it, but why would you want to do that? Also, anyone who has had food poisoning, gluten intolerance, or other food allergies knows that it does not necessarily take 24 hours for your system to react. The 24 hour rule is for food that your body does not have an adverse reaction to. Diarrhea is the body trying to get rid of toxins. If it took a day that would negate the purpose.

I thought I was having dumping today after a fruit smoothies I made. I got so dizzy, nausea, hot and sweaty. But I had another hunch and went and took my blood pressure, 90/61. I was bottoming out, drank some Water, laid down and put my feet up and started to feel better once I got up over 105/64. This may be a good sign that blood pressure meds are on the way out or adjusted. It was high this morning before meds, but maybe now that I lost almost 20 pounds post op I may need to come down on dose. Yay!

We, as sleevers, do not experience dumping. But I completely understand the thrill of pooping! Bm's are few and far between for us

We as sleevers most definitely DO experience dumping. I have done it many times. I asked Dr. Aceves about it and he said it's because our stomachs are so small, that too much sugar or fat (or combination of both) will get into our systems much too quickly.

It's not just diarhhea. It's sweating, feeling nauseous, and rapid heart beat. The diarrhea comes last.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
