Dumping Syndrome. Pure and simple. The maple and brown sugar. Some of the symptoms of dumping are lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, cramps, etc. The symptoms are actually very similar to hypoglycemia.

Don't do sugar!

Are you eating the regular flavored oatmeal or the weight control? I'm pretty sure the weight control has almost no sugar per serving.

I have had two episodes of dumping syndrome, but it is not good! :huh: :huh:

The last time was right before Halloween! I do not reccomend trying cashew "ice cream" even 1/4 of a cup.......

I had terrible vomitting (with nothing in pouch), dizziness, sweating, abdominal cramping, and diarehha and overall feeling of death. It lasted about 4 hours?

On a positive note- I knew that trying halloween candy was out of the question!

I am slightly torn between being happy I have not dumped and being irritated that it doesn't happen.

I have had many things (small bites, small pieces, nothing extreme) that would have caused dumping and didn't.

Does that mean it will never happen? No. Does it mean I can eat anything I want? Just because I can doesn't mean I should.

It also always amazing to me what has made people dump and what others have no reaction to at all.

1/4 cup of the cashew "ice cream" I had was 8g of sugar similar to light and fit Greek yogurt that doesn't affect me... Never know!

I am kinda glad I get dumping syndrome, but when it happens it sucks!

      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.
