So THAT'S what dumping is?!



Recommended Posts

OMG! 2 1/2 years out and experienced my first episode of dumping and NEVER want to experience that again!

Went to my favorite frozen yogurt place. They have fat free/sugar free soft frozen yogurt that they can make in any of 48 flavors!

So I ordered my usual small dish. She made it about twice the size!!

Well, the fat kid in me, kept eating until it was gone

about 30 minutes later, some stomach cramps. I thought maybe it was gas or I needed to poo.

20 minutes later, I KNEW I had to poo. Sitting there, things started to go gray, I was soaked in sweat AND freezing. I put my head down and must have passed out. I woke, curled up on the floor. Got up, sat back down, then went to bed 2 1/2 hours earlier than my normal, I was exhausted.

I think the stomach cramps must have triggered a vaso-vagal attack, as it was the exact same symptoms that I get during those!

NEVER AGAIN!! Small means SMALL!! Even if I have to ask her to take out the extra! Don't know if she thought she was being nice or what.

Your fortunate..My first experience with ice cream will be my last. At least you know how much you can tolerate before you get ill. you'll never forget that. That is so scary passing out in a random toilet stall. How horrible for you hun! yikes!

These episodes sound like what I experience when a little bit of gluten gets in me. Swearing to God I WILL NEVER EAT CROSS-CONTAMINATED food AGAIN! Cramps like the world is coming to an end, sweating, shaking, hot, cold, hot, cold followed by profound fatigue and dehydration. Lotsa fun. You ladies have convinced me no froyo or ice cream will ever be worth it!

Some of these symptoms should like what I have been experiencing pretty regularly but I don't think it's dumping. I have always had some IBS issues, but lately they are more and more frequent and I can't always pinpoint what causes the episodes. It usually hits me within 30 minutes of eating. Starts with severe cramping like gas that is trapped in my abdomen and I know I have to find a bathroom. Then I'm usually there for 20 minutes of cramping, and well, you know.... then it passes and I'm okay. I don't usually get the sweating or chills, and I don't pass out. It's almost a daily occurrence at this point, and it's very inconvenient, uncomfortable, and concerning. I've had this happen after eating ice cream, but also after eating a salad, so I really don't know what to do.

Wow, THAT sucks!! Could it be that you are eating too much, too fast, fatty Salad Dressing or drinking too close to eating?? Hope you figure out why, so it doesn't happen so often, or at all. What does your dr. say?

I think the only reason I passed out was because it triggered a vaso-vagal attack.

      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.
