Please share your dumping experiences.... What happen?? How did u feel?? Was u at home or in public?? Thank u

My first, with bypass, was last weekend. I believe it was caused from to much sugar. Got some mild gas pains, and then the urgent message I need to get to the bathroom. Immediately knew this was dumping, once it was over felt 100% better. Now I have had dumping experiences in years past, it comes on sudden and at times you don't have time to get to a public restroom. I always carry a complete change of clothing in my car for these situations. Mine usually occurred within 30 minutes after I have ate something but never could pin point what it was I ate that caused it. Now with the bypass I have not had the problem except this one time and I can live with that as I know what caused it. Hope this helps.

I've only experienced dumping syndrome a few times, but I knew exactly what it was. I still do not know what I ate to cause it, but the abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea, was enough for me. My nutritionist said it may have been the sugar alcohols in a sugar free life saver. They will get you every time.

It's not dumping as such as sugar alcohols have this effect in people who haven't had surgery. It's just the effect sugar alcohols can have. ... On anyone :-) I must admit, they never have that effect on me so I guess I'm lucky.

I have dumped only once in 6+ months and it was the late dumping. It happened on Raisin Bran Cereal. I grabbed the crunch variety instead of the other box which had less sugar. I only ate a small portion for the Fiber. About 2.5 hours later I got dizzy, light headed, and my pulse and heart was going like crazy. I also was sweating profusely. It lasted about 30 minutes and was horrible! I will never make a mistake again and watch sugar and carbs very carefully! Im including a link that is very helpful in explaining the difference between the two types of dumping and their symptoms. Good luck!

      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.
