I think I found it. My heart rate was crazy and I was so shaky. I had to travel for work and I thought I was being wise getting taco meat and Beans with the cheese. Huge mistake. I'm still feeling shaky. Hope it passes soon

Thanks you. I had a rough 45min and it passed. Thank The Lord. I hope not to ever have this happen again but venturing out with new foods again I'm scared now.

I hate that feeling...If i am traveling, i usually bring my own Snacks and food with me cause I never know what I am getting from the outside and I never know how my pouch will react... (safe foods is what I call it...) *sighs* the things we go through now...

don't be afraid to try new foods...just do it when your home first...(works for me :)

My first was around week 3....but as you broaden out and are eating new foods is when you'll really find out.

Dumping can happen with any food/drink. If you eat or drink to fast you can dump. I had my first at 4 weeks post op - off Tums!! Myrtle the pouch tells me what I can and can't eat. If she doesn't like something, she throws it right back at me.

I don't think I have ever experienced dumping. I am over 4 months. I am careful about what I eat but now I wonder if I will? Ive thought about eating something sugary to test it....but I'm afraid that if I DON'T react....knowing that will be a problem.

Maybe I should just rely on the fear of dumping??

I've had plenty of episodes of food getting stuck and a couple of eating to fast w/similar painful unpleasant results. I haven't had anything w/sugar, fat, Pasta, rice, white potatoes or white flour - all things I've been told to stay away from. I don't know yet if I'm a dumper. The fear that I will is enough for me to avoid the foods I've been told can cause it. (I don't need to get burned to learn to stay away from fire. Lol) Whatever works...

Hang in there. It's really not that bad. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and can tell you I thought it would be a hell of a lot worse! There are horror stories for everything but it doesn't mean you have to be one. Hang in there!

      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.
