Not a happy little tummy :(

Hi all,

Today and yesterday I've been having some problems. Not terrible, but never fun. I guess it's what you call "dumping" syndrome, the only thing is I haven't introduced anything new to the diet yet and I've hardly had much to "eat". In the morning, I'll have some yogurt or pudding...maybe a little bit of a Protein shake. Then, I take my meds all cut up (the same ones I took before the surgery). I have been getting nauseous after that. I'm guessing it may be better now to spread out the meds through out the day instead of all at once. But, it didn't do this last week (I had my surgery June 10th....8 days ago).

Has anyone else had 'dumping' issues while on the full Fluid diet? Could I just be getting sick of the same fluids? LOL I don't know what it is...

You are sleeved right? Sleevers dont have dumping syndrome.....I do have bouts where my bowel movements are non existant...but then I will have direaha....It is your body healing and adjusting to your new eating habits and what you have done to it...Take each day as it comes.

Yes normal! It's not really dumping but some bowel and it's liquidy and gas your body is just getting used to everything that's happening

Sleevers definitely can have dumping syndrome. See my thread in "General" discussion re: my latest experience! haha

Poor Hathery--I still giggle, but I do feel for you in that awful experience!

Not sure what medications you are taking but you don't want to take a Calcium with a Multivitamin. I have to take my meds 5 times a day all broken up.

When did your "dumping" (hope this isn't too TMI LOL) stop? It seems like anytime I drink or eat (if Soup, pudding, etc is eating that is...) now

It could be lactose intolerance looking at your current diet. Try and remove the lactose for a couple of days to see if it makes a difference? This can happen post sleeve and is usually temporary.

It is dumping, it is the new bodies inability to process sugars so it sends it straight back out!

I was sleeved 5/29 and have had diarrhea after everything I eat or drink about 5 min later ever since i arrived home from the hospital. I have had one solid poo and the rest are watery diarrhea. They have even gone as far as testing my stool and nothing. My dr. Just said it will take time for my insides to adjust and get use to the difference in foods. Good luck...I'm trying to stay positive!
