We are ok very shook up but anyways all I have just eaten once today for Breakfast and thats it i had to take my children to the dr this afternoon but my nerves were completely shot and I was needing some caffeine which I usually just drink a small cup of coffee a day with diet hot chocolate mix mixed in it well stupid me stopped to get the girls something to eat at mcd's and thought I'll get a no fat mocha knowing it has alot of suger in it and I watch my sugar intake every day well guess what got drank and I had a dumping episode well lesson learned set there and take it because your the dumby that chose to drink it so you suffer the after math from it ! Headache racing heart and nausa! I will never do that again knowing better!!!!!!!

yikes...I thought one of the advantages of the sleeve surgery over gastric bypass was that you didn't have worries about dumping with VSG...has anybody else experienced dumping with VSG? I am also sorry about your problem, Mandy...hope it is over soon

When you cut sugar/fat/carbs out of your diet in a big way (as most of us do) any time you reintroduce them in to your diet in any significant quantity (like a sugary drink) you'll usually have an adverse reaction. It's not dumping in the RNY sense, but the body lets you know that it's not really cool with what you just did and reacts accordingly.

When I was doing hardcore atkins/SB years ago, the first piece of apple I ate after months of no sugars made me dizzy and nauseated. My body just wasn't used to it any more.

I have dumping if I eat anything too rich. I was at a Christmas party & tried a tablespoon of the artichoke dip. It stayed w me for about 15 minutes & all of a sudden I Had to get to a bathroom ASAP! This sleeve is a very good behavior modification tool...

I am hesitant to admit this but the other day I had some frozen yogurt with my husband, not even a large quantity really, maybe 4 OZ... it went RIGHT through me, I felt like I was going to throw up... I won't be doing that again, not to mention its bad for weight loss.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You had a very stressful day. I'm glad everyone's ok though. At least now you know what not to order ;)

      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.
