speedydvr 25 Posted August 19, 2012 So I woke up this morning feeling fine, had Breakfast of my Protein Drink and then a mid morning snack of cottage cheese as usual, then about around lunchtime I started to develop these odd pains that felt as if they were coming from my bowels. Not gassy pains or such but cramp like, except then I started feeling as if I was gonna vomit, not vomit just the excess salivation but after that I felt better... Any ideas?

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted August 20, 2012 sounds like possible dumping to me. That excess saliva thing is what we now do for vomiting. It feels like just like you need to get rid of excess spit plus a little worse. it is weird how something we have eaten before can make you dump and then next time it won't.

speedydvr 25 Posted August 20, 2012 See at first I too thought I was dumping but apparently it wasn't that. I did call my Dr and spoke with him and from what I described he feels that I may have progressed a bit too quickly, after all I'm only 21 days post op and have lost 40+lbs, I'm eating soft foods but he thinks that maybe my gut is saying whoa and I should return for a few days to liquids/puréed stuffs or until these symptoms pass. Figured out what might have been the culprit though, I made a pitcher of Decaf iced tea and drank the whole thing in the course of a day and I don't believe my pouch or guys like that much tannin. I still feel like I have a sore stomach but at least the nausea has left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellie_Grace 271 Posted August 20, 2012 so a pouch protest... how exciting... were there signs and everything? Wonder what the signs would read? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedydvr 25 Posted August 20, 2012 That's the best thing we can think of since everything else seems to be functioning as normal. There really weren't any signs that day, however the next day(yesterday) and today I've got what I could best describe as a sour stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjoyce 187 Posted August 20, 2012 I've had this happen a few times (not the pain part but the saliva)...will not eat canned tuna anymore because of it....ran to the bathroom to throw up and it was just tons if saliva. It hasn't happened since I left the tuna alone. Has it happened more than once? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
music1618 879 Posted August 20, 2012 They put me on scapolimean (sp) patch for the excess saliva. It is the patch given to people before they go on a cruise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
