Dumping syndrome after nearly 2 years



Recommended Posts

I am nearly two years post op and still having dumping issues when I eat some foods. Is anyone else having these same problems? When will it go away or will it always be a problem after gastric sleeve surgery?

I am sorry for you suffering! Have you noticed if it is always the same foods? Do you think you may have developed an allergy to them? Have you stayed away from them for awhile, then gone back to see if they do it to you again? Last question...have you asked your doctor about it? I am still new to all this, having my surgery in December, so forgive me, but I am learning from you! Good luck and I hope you feel better VERY soon!

Yea it's usually anything sweet. It could just be that my stomach can't handle sweets anymore. I am not sure. I have not been to the doctor in about 5 months so I have not asked my doctor about it. I think it is one of those things that is a curse and a blessing at the same time. I am hesitant when it comes to eating or drinking anything with sugar.

It seems other people have had this issue, as well. How are you with artificial sweeteners? I personally can't stand them, but then I have never had much of a sweet-tooth. I have used Splenda in baking, but I find it dries the end result out too much AND too soon. The other types of sweeteners I just can't stand the taste of, especially stevia and the sweet-n-low stuff. Does an antacid help? Gosh, I wish I could help you. Keep us informed of how you resolve this, ok? Thanks....

@ I can have artificial sweetners just no real or pure sugars candy or sodas. So Splenda is my best friend right I use it on coffee tea cakes pies but sometimes I just want the real thing

Even the smallest amount of sugar and my stomach goes nuts. I have not tried any meds but wouldn't mind if I just knew what to take

I've heard a lot of people take Prilosec for acid, but I'm not sure about how it might work for sugar in particular. And since I have yet to take it, I can't tell you from my personal experience. I wouldn't know if you take it before or after you eat the sugar. Hopefully someone will respond to this run with some suggestions for you. If you don't mind, please let me know what you find out? Good luck, again....

No problem I wilt you know and I will try the prilosec and see what it does. Hoping for some kind of solution.

I dump when I eat anything really rich like whole cream Soups, really high quality ice cream, frosting, fudge...

Either I vomit it right back up or I have instant poop Soup.

I'm glad there's no remedy or cure except avoidance. Keeps me on task. Nineteen months out, here.

@@LipstickLady you are probably right it is a good thing there is no remedy for dumping syndrome. Like I said it's a blessing and a curse but it a curse that keeps us on track and helps us avoid weight gain after surgery

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
