Dumping How it feels like?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I forgot to bring my lunch to work, thought I would skip it, but felt too hungry and ate a muffin for the first time after surgery, after 1-2 hours started to feel dizzy and shaky.

Wonder if it is dumping, I did not have any symptoms before, though this is the first time I ate something that full of sugar.

@@Justoperated - I have read that those are some of the symptoms besides the obvious. I have never had it so I cant really say for sure.

Dumping feelings like your stomach is upset and that you have to use the restroom NOW. When you get to sit down to release the pain, everything comes out fast REALY fast. Sometimes it is bright yellow in color as the food moves through your body so fast. You learn to recognize the signs and pain of the symptoms so that you can prevent an accident.

@@Justoperated, I have had mild cases of the dumping syndrome. Having the runs (loose stool) is a very common symptoms.

However, I've only experienced the jitters & hot flashes. It last for few minutes, but then it goes away. I usually feel it when I eat something that's too sweet.

I dumped once, it was because I ate too fast. First the sweating started, then my chest was hurting because the lump of Peanut Butter I just was just sitting there. Then I threw up on myself without warning. About an hour later the diarrhea started.

Not only have I not made that mistake again, I also won't touch Peanut Butter anymore lol

High fat and hug sugar foods can cause dumping. The one time I experienced it, it was from fried chicken (I was craving it) that was fresh out of the fryer so all the grease was still on it. I got dizzy, hot, light headed, nauseous, and I thought ideas going to pass out. All of that lasted for about an hour. It was the worst experience ever!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
