Guess we dump after all

How many here have experienced dumping?

That is very interesting, thanks! I haven't tried anything sweet since surgery, but I guess when I get to that I should "practice" at home before trying anything sweet in public.

Diet Pepsi, omg. Carbonation is a problem in general with the sleeve, but it's the aspartame that makes me have to run to the bathroom within 2 sips and leaves me messed up for hours.

I have avoided the sweets for this very reason so I am dump free so far! I wander if people eat a lot of carbs when they convert to sugar if this can cause dumping also or if it later in digestion that the sugar occurs and nothing happens.

I am embarrassed to admit it but it happened to me today. It's my 2nd day back at work. I'm 15 days post op. I have been eating egg salad (1 egg at a time) for Breakfast on soft foods and haven't had any problems until today.

I was pretty busy and bc egg salad is familiar to me and I haven't had any complications, I became complacent and ate it quickly. Usually it takes me 20-40 min to eat a tiny meal. Almost immediately I felt sick and uncomfortable. An hour later I had to run to the bathroom! Yuck! So it's not just sweets that can cause it. Be careful how fast you eat! Lesson learned!

      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.
