Woah! Slow down! What? You are a week post-op and should be just transitioning to the full liquids stage at this point, unless your post-op guidelines are different from what mine were.

You may be able to nibble tiny bits of different foods but please remember you are still healing and will be for several months. You have post-op swelling internally and can't feel the full sensation yet. If you continue your self-sabotage you risk serious complications not just weight regain. So STOP IT!!!!!

Generally speaking the sleeve doesn't cause dumping syndrome but some people do experience it if they eat something excessively fatty or sweet. If you wanted dumping syndrome then you should have gotten the bypass. You can ask your surgeon about having a revision to the bypass but IMO you might want to consider seeking therapy to help you get control of your issues with food and eating. Any WLS can be eaten around eventually and the weight regained. you don't want that to happen I'm sure or you wouldn't have cried out for help here.

Take a deep breath and step away from the kitchen! I have to do that all the time!

If you don't want to overeat, weigh and measure everything. Make sure you follow your plan as prescribed by your NUT, too.

Have you been approved to eat bread, chicken and chocolate? I am just over ten months out and chicken is just starting to go down for me and bread sticks terribly. Nibbling on chocolate is a slippery slope and it's best to avoid all unnecessary carbs and focus on your Protein and liquids right now.

You don't need to dump to learn and no one is guaranteed dumping no matter what surgery they have. I am grateful I don't dump because I want to live as normal a life as possible. It's up to me, just as it is up to you, to use this chance at "resetting" your health back to a normal weight to the best of your ability.

Good luck to you!

Why on earth would you want dumping at this stage. You are no where near healed and could cause a rupture with the strain of dumping. Even normal elimination is hard on you at this stage. Follow the plan and let your body heal. If you need dumping to control your eating you have bulimic tendencies. Go see the shrink that evaluated you for surgery. There is some work to be done there. Good luck.
