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.

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

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 :)

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!!

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.

I guess it has its ups and downs. Today I ate an egg with cheese and I did not dump but it made me miserable I felt so full as if I had eatten a whole buffet and started sweeting. I will not eat a whole egg again maybe half.

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
