lovealways 287 Posted February 6, 2013 Just curious. I am 3 weeks out...I've tried chicken, soft lean beef in chili, eggs, refried Beans, Soups, potatos. I stick to the idea of no higher than 6-7 grams of sugar and no more than 10 grams of fat, if that. If I WAS going to have the dumping syndrome...would I know it by now?? I tolerate everything I've tried perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4SFLFDS 59 Posted February 6, 2013 I'm over 3 months out and only feel it if I have too high sugar content or eat too much. I don't throw up--get very nauseous, lethargic, dizzy headed, go pale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmcgloon 127 Posted February 6, 2013 I'm 6 weeks out and (luckily, thankfully) have never experienced dumping. Only about 50% of people do. It's a blessing & a curse because it makes you feel invincible. You will inevitably feel discomfort at some point, we all have, but like my nutritionist told me-- just consider yourself one of the lucky ones 1 lovealways reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worm2872 635 Posted February 6, 2013 I am ten weeks out and have a cast Iron stomach for the most part. I will get a little queasy but that's it. About a week or so ago I deliberately ate 1/2 of a huge oatmeal whoopie pie/gob and NOTHINIG! I was hoping that much sugar would trigger dumping. I am lucky but want the that fear since sugar is my weakness. Nope. BUT I did get extremely tired/fatigued the next day. I passed it off until I had a little too much sugar the other day and had mild fatigue the following day. Weird but it helps since I don't want to feel like crap.

It's easy to understand your feelings but there is no scientific evidence that folks who experience dumping are any more (or less) successful than those who don't. As noted above, about half of all RNY patients never experience dumping. Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales. You're gonna love the new you!! 1 honeydue29 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am one of those less fortunate patients who DO have the dumping syndrome anytime I consume sugar or eat just one bite too much. Even milk (sadness) can make me ill. it's absolutely the most miserable i have ever ever felt in my life. I did manage to eat super yesterday, and NO SICKNESS!!! It seriously felt like a miracle. I am 8 weeks out as of Wednesday so it was SO SO NICE to not be sick while trying to go to sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FYI I know it's different than most people on here but my doc says no scrambled eggs or omelette til 3-4 months out.....okay for eggs shredded in tuna salas and such. He says he has more problems with people and eggs than almost anything else. Just a thought!
