I know we don't dump but?



Recommended Posts

I did a stupid thing tonight and paid the price. I ate my dinner too fast and I also ate too much. About 40 minutes later I began to get bad stomach cramps that had me running to the bathroom. :omg: I was sweating, dizzy and felt horrible. I felt like I was going to vomit, but it came out the other end instead. This is the first time this has happened and you can bet I got the message! I guess it's good that I learned this lesson before my first fill because if it can happen now I'm guessing it could happen that much easier once I'm more restricted. I know that pbing & vomiting are hazards if you aren't diligent, but I hadn't heard about sweating/dizziness and feeling like you might die (or wish you would). Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope but you should check on the general thread.

If it was anything like "dumping" I'm thinking it was unrelated to what you ate "in the moment".

If the pain was up high, then I would think that you golfballed, then it passed threw.

If the pain was low, then I would say, totally NOT band related.

Golfballed is when you eat too much or too quickly or both. You get this pain in your chest like the feeling of a golfball stuck in there. It is a horrible pain, usually accompanied with the feeling of vomiting. It will either pass threw in time or you will throw up.

Hope that helps!

What is "golfballed"?

I thought it was what you were called when you ruined a nice walk in a beautiful feild... :)"You sure Golfballed that hike!"

or

when you feel like you were wacked around the course with tools ill equipted for the job...:)"After last night's party, I felt Golfballed this morning!"

But alas I am not yet Banded and I am sure that when I am I will learn what "the 'flaming golf ball from hell' scenario":second: (as JACk says) truely means...:fear:

Heaven Forbid!!! :pray:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
