I could do with some advise from somebody more experienced than I am yet. Decided to try a couple of fried eggs on a piece of toast for lunch. Used a skillet which has been seasoned and which released some of the vegetable oil during the cooking process so they were fairly greasy. Never crossed my mind that might cause a problem. They didn’t digest well anyway but after a couple of hours felt a bit nauseous and very tired, and started sweating. And then, well just say I couldn’t get to the loo fast enough. And repeat 4 more times since. Not pleasant and I had no control. Feel delicate but much improved now.

Have I experienced dumping syndrome or is this just my body telling me it does like fried food?

It sound very much like Dumping Syndrome. It may be the oiliness, the bread, the amount of food or the eggs. All are symptomatic. Eggs, chicken, fats, sugar and bread are particularly difficult for lots of bariatric patients

Even now I can not eat bread unless it is toasted so crispy that it snaps. Its all about trial and error, you are early out and I dont know what regime you have been given but at 5 weeks out I was still on soft foods. Even now I can only eat one egg for a meal.

Until your new tummy heals, you wont have any feelings of fullness. At your stage my nose would run or I would sneeze and that was my cue to stop eating. Its all a learning curve and its not easy.

Thank you.

I’m meant to be on soft food but still blending stuff as I just feel too uncomfortable otherwise. A couple of small teaspoons of something like fish in parsley sauce and smash potato and I can feel indigestion coming on.

      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?

      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.
