Jersrose43 837 Posted July 5, 2014 I ate a half a falafel I am totally paying for it. Dumping syndrome and I hope to never repeat that again. Oh Lordy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lark60 431 Posted July 5, 2014 Sorry to hear you have experienced dumping. The first time I did, I also never wanted to go through it again. Unfortunately, I have also learned that this can occur when you eat "good foods". It is a learning process to know your triggers. For example, I can eat chocolate (M&M's are my weakness) without dumping but watermelon is off my menu. Also it is a quantity issue. I can have a small amount of ice cream but as soon as I have too much, my heart races and I know its time to stop. 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

playlikeworldchamps 595 Posted July 6, 2014 So glad I can eat falafels without dumping cause it's not fun. I have sleeve yet still dump if I eat sugary foods. So cake, ice cream, even honey nut Cheerios with milk get me nauseous and heart palpitating. I feel yucky for about an hour. Thank goodness doesn't happen with sangria - probably because sugar+fat causes it not either by itself. I am glad for it though because I used to be a binge eater of sugary carbs etc and now not only restriction but dumping keeps me in check. Usually it can stop me from eating it in the first place. Once I took a video of myself after I are mint chocolate ice cream as a reminder of how yucky I felt. That video prevents me from eating more than a teaspoon of ice cream. 1 VSGAnn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiredmama 137 Posted July 12, 2014 I didn't know I had gallstones until they were discovered on my my pre-op abdominal ultrasound. Doc told me I have probably been having attacks for years when I ate fried foods but didn't know what they were. I said I didn't eat much fried food so I didn't know- then remembered how incredibly sick I got the last few times I had falafel! They removed my gallbladder when they did my sleeve and I am hoping some day I will be a ble to eat falafel again because I do love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
