"Dumping" Syndrom?

[ladylaura 77]

Sorry for the TMI LOL But, the past few days I've been having dumping syndrom. If it's not called that for the sleeve, I'm not sure what to call it? It happens after every 'meal' (I'm only 9 days post op....so a meal would be Soup, pudding, Jello, etc..lol)

How long does this last? It would make it hard to go to the weddings I have to be at this weekend

I had that And it only lasted a couple days. Just keep track of what causes it..

I am 6 weeks out and have experiened this a few times. I can eat and enjoy my food but 20 minutes later I get a severe stomach ache and have to run to the bathroom no matter where i am. It has gotten better with me this week because I am watching what I eat knowing that what caused my dumping was heavy cream in dairy foods, and greasy foods. Once it was a simple omelette at diner but they made it greasy and another time was cream Soup. Now I just introduce new foods slowly and have been kind of playing it safe with foods I know I can handle.

[ladylaura 77]

Yeah I'm thinking maybe it's the cream Soups. That sucks because my food is so limited for now. I'll try a day without it and see how it goes...*fingers crossed*

I had that after I started drinking my Protein Shakes. Took about a week for it to stop. Though I'm almost 8 mons post op it still happens when I eat/drink something that I shouldn't have. If you keep track of what you eat/ drink before it happens you'll know your do' & don'ts. Nurse told me I could add Peanut Butter to my Protein Shake for more Protein & flavor. Tried it, caused the syndrome. Won't try that again.

[ladylaura 77]

It happens after my Protein shakes too. What do you do to get your Protein if you can't stomach the shakes?

have you tried using the PB2 (peanut butter powder) instead of regular Peanut Butter? I love adding this to Protein Shakes for extra flavor

[Private Sleever 50]

Oh, I can tolerate the shakes pretty well. It was hard when I first started drinking them. The shakes that i drink are pretty tasty. But I just recently tried adding the Peanut Butter for additional. I'm able to consume the required amount of Protein daily. Was just trying something different to keep it interesting.

My family member has been experiencing this. She was sleeved 6/10 and I was 6/13. I was totally confused bc I see "dumping" is more so "bubble guts." I was experiencing something different. I'd get lightheaded, racing heartbeat then it'd pass after a minute maybe two at the most. No diarrhea but more like a sugar rush when taking my Vitamins. I wonder if I'm dumping or experiencing something else?

[SueJH 205]

Same thing here. I am 10 days PO and it would happen after every 'meal'. My stomach would start the gurgling thing and I would have to get to the bathroom. It probably lasted about 3-4 days. It's getting much better now and isn't happening as often. It's a big adjustment for our systems and our bodies are wondering what the heck is going on!

[rubyrosa 10]

I so empathize with you. What a horrid feeling. I've been paying close attention too. One way I've found to get 15mg Protein first thing in the morning is to heat up my Atkins caramel mocha and sip like coffee. Hope this helps. I'm just 10 days post op myself so I'm learning right along with you.

[tigerbelle 328]

from what I've heard others say who have had gastric bypass, "dumping" is sort of like a combo of what MrsPierre describes and what other posters have described about having to rush to the bathroom...since my VSG 6 weeks ago, I've had the bathroom issue 2 or 3 times--no other symptoms than the loose bowels...with dumping, I think you start getting this weak, ill-feeling like when you have the flu, and it's a more violent thing when you have the diarrhea...I just know I don't want to experience it

[Mnicole 17]

Just experienced my first dumping syndrome. It's awful!

For me it's like feeling as if I can't move. I feel ill, shakey. I had it the first time I had a Protein Premier Protein shake and when I tried fat-free cream cheese. I haven't puked yet, fingers crossed!
