I backed off to softer foods and the nausea is much better. It makes sense that this is a bumpy time since this is when our diets are advancing. I haven't dumped but I'm. Also scared to try most carbs ..had a couple of pretzel thins and potatoes...zofran is wonderful

Yes Zofran has become my constant companion!! It's getting better now that I've went back to Protein and broth and seems to be working. Fingers crossed.

What a terrible experience that must of been!!! Glad you got it out and no longer suffering that pain. Bet you were glad to already had it out when you had rny....One less problem that could happen with being post op.

Exactly sending prayers your way.

Anybody in this April group that don't have dumping episode or thrown up or felt nauseated? I've never dumped and afraid i'm not going to be a dumper. My Dr. told me today that only 10% of rny patients "don't" dump. I always thought the stats were much higher like 50/50??? Tell me what you experience and what you've been told about dumping.

I have never dumped but then I dont really eat real sugar and I eat low carb

How long after your surgery did you have your gallbladder removed? I spoke with my mother tonight and she had gallbladder trouble when she was younger. She said a gallbladder attack is the worse pain she ever felt. I sure don't want to go there and i guess i'll have to put my big girl panties on and just get it out. Hopefully i can get in for that scan next week.

I had my gallbladder out last May. It was functioning at 9%. I had went round and round with my Dr. Had colonoscopy, endoscopy, and finally I saw his PA who ordered the scan! I had surgery within days. I was in a lot of pain everytime I ate!

Man, i'm glad my Dr ordered the scan asap....If it's my gallbladder, i'm scared of having a full blown gallbladder attack. Going to try to really watch what i eat. My pouch is empty this morning...nothing but Water and my right side is fine now. This pain kinda is like the incisional hernia i got after surgery...but not nearly as bad. Hoping the scheduling lady calls me today to get the scan setup soon.

I also try my best to stay low carb and sugar. Wondering how much is too much though. I haven't tried to eat a real sugar anything.....afraid if I do, i'll start a bad habit up again if I don't dump on it.

I was in and out of the er for years with mine, ultrasound after ultrasound with nothing showing up. Then finally we got another new surgeon in and he saw me having an attack at work and said we are doing a scan right away. Bam had my results within hours.

I'm stuck in a stupid stall again. Seems like I have one every week! Wish my back was better so i could exercise, but its not an option for me right now. Can't even walk around the block. My husband won a bike at work, and I want to get on it so bad and pedal around, but I am so afraid ill fall and do myself in for good! hope everyone is having a great Friday! It is hot and humid here and I hate it!
