Warning! This is gross!

It could be lactose intolerance (more likely than "dumping" since that happens very infrequently in VSG vs GBP) as others have said. However, I have had lactose intolerance most of my adult life, and usually I am ok with cheese and yogurt (but not milk or dairy-based ice cream). There's a chance the timing was coincidental and may not be related to the cheese. You can experiment while at home.

It's rare, but dumping can happen with VGS. Mine happened after going to costco. I ate a few of the samples (a Protein Bar, pomegranate juice, and a bite of turkey sandwich). I think the Protein bar had too much sugar in it and combined with the Pom juice and eating while walking around my system just couldn't take it. The lesson learned is to follow the rules your doctor laid out. I generally do follow them, but I'm 6mo out and 20 pounds from goal and I'm having one of the worst weeks of my life.

Dumping syndrome can happen to people who haven't even had WLS. It's not AS common with the sleeve, but it definitely can happen. My advice is to eat simple foods until you're further along; don't be a dope and drink lemonade and eat beer cheese Soup like me. Someday those things might be ok, but not at the beginning....unless you like pooping yourself. haha

Bet you didn't know you're the VST Patron Saint of Dumping Syndrome, did you?

Haha, it's good to be recognized for something I guess!
