I've been carb sensitive since day 1. I work around it and occasionally suck it up and deal with it because there are times where I'm just gonna eat it. Period. (And when I say eat it, it's not really bad stuff....it's a bowl of oatmeal or occasionally a cookie). I've always been curious about dumping off fats. Seemed weird to me! I understood the sugar crash from carbs and symptoms associated with it, but the fat thing sounded different. Well, Waffle House kicked my butt this a.m. And I now know the miseries of dumping off fats. My butt is not amused. (Although, overall, it's not as miserable as carb dumping, at least for me). (FYI cheesie scrambled eegs and bacon, the bacon was super fatty, almost certain it was the culprit)

Dump till ya die eh????
YEP THAT WOULD BE ME.
I never dumped until month 8. I have dumped about 5 times now. And dumping made me feel like I wanted to DIE!
It is indecribable for me. Carvel ice cream was the culprit 2x and cheesedoodles 1x - in very small amounts.
It felt like the WORST anxiety attack ever - sweats, shakes, madness, irritablility, and pain. I NEVER want to experience it again. Luckily it was not in my butt :D
I remember posting here during one dump time. I was desperate for someone to tell me how to make it stop.

I recently experienced the FOAMIES too - NEVER AGAIN. I held myself over a spoon of catfood to make myself puke. Thank god!

Cherry, did the dumping occur twenty to thirty minutes after the ice cream/cheesedoodles (early dumping) or two or more hours after (late dumping)?

the dumping was 20-30 mins later. I guess since I wasn't positive what was happening or what the culprit was (the Carvel), I tortured myself 2 days later to confirm by eating some again (dumb dumb dumb - and NEVER again)!

Foamies was something I never really heard about on this forum...

I ate too much, then drank some OJ.... I immediately noticed that I had to burp but could not - like the OJ coated my throat.... then the food felt so stuffing, I felt so sick (like the full feeling of eating enough Pasta it is up to your neck)... but I COULD NOT burp nor throw up. I was so scared and nervous. I did everything to make myself throw up but could not - and I could not Breathe..... then finally I decided to smell the cat's food and I gagged and threw up FOAM - tons of it - like imagine you drank peroxide and it all foamed up out of your belly through your mouth.

So I googled foam and gastric bypass and found slews of unfo about something called "foamies". It was far worse than dumping because 1) I could not breathe nor burp up air and 2) I didn't understand where the foam came from.

The info I found says it has to do with gas not being able to come up and it bubbles up.

Based on what I found on google, it seems to be pretty common for those who overeat or eat too quickly. I guess if we all did this perfectly, then we probably wouldn't even dump, no less get foamies :blush: but many are creature of habit OR need a bad experience to not repeat the bad habit.

With exception to the few late stage dumping episodes and that 1 time foamie, I have been without incident and very successful including going through the entire surgery alone :D (it was a 'secret bypass' ;) )

I figure, it's not *exactly* a lie, my insurance requires the gallbladder or at the same surgery! Lol. One of my Co workers asked which side it hurts on and I just kinda laughed awkwardly (no idea, lol) I'm the worst liar!

when in April was your surgery? Mine was 17th.

Not much bothers me either - so I thought. I avoided most sugary things such as I never ate icecream nor cheese doodles. Then I tried them and boom. Then I tried the carvel once more just to torture myself :/

LOL

April 11th. I pretty much behave all the time except during Christmas I ate my Carmel's I make and the gut of my cheesecake. But a bite of other things here and there. I really thought the candy would of done it. I haven't tried chips or anything like that yet but I do drink wine every once in a while and no effects there either. I did try coconut milk ice cream once but it did not bother me. I just want some payback I guess so I don't go nuts with the bad things.

Not rare at all. VERY common! It happens when you eat too fast, eat too much, or eat food that is too dry. And sometimes it happens for no apparent reason at all. I haven't had it happen for months and this past week it happened three times. :-p

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
