I'm sleeved, and I dump. Yup it's true!

I just noticed that this thread was bumped after 6 months of no activity and really for no reason. No one claimed in this thread that sleevers can't dump. Hmmmm.... Weird observation, I know.

How can you get dumping syndrome from a Protein shake? When Protein does NOT cause dumping? Sounds more likely to be lactose intolerance. And there is a very simple way to avoid it: stick to the diet that your NUT gave you. Also one study is not the end of the story. They didn't say 45% in fact have dumping syndrome, it said that they had symptoms that MIGHT be suggestive. And yes when I eat crap ....wait for it... I feel like crap. So what do I do... I try not to eat that stuff. I LOVE that my new tummy dictates healthier food choices. I crave protein and veggies. I cannot tolerate junk food. That is a good thing. That is why I got the surgery.

You obviously don't have dumping or you wouldn't be "thankful" for it. And yes, you can get dumping from a Protein Shake. If it has too much sugar or fat or the Fluid empties into your lower intestine Too fast and there is any sugar at all.

Dumping isn't "feeling like crap from junk food." It f**king sucks. I'm 120 pounds and I dump so I know I'm eating right okay? I'm not living on junk food.

Rude post. I love how people that don't suffer from something think that understand it.

Let's see if you're still sticking to your nut diet in a year. And if I stuck to my nuts recommended diet of low carb and 1200 calories ... Wait for it... I'd be dead of starvation by now.

I dump and I am thankful for it. It keeps me honest. No ice cream, no creamy Soups -- things I love but can't eat. I love feeling like (really heavy duty, miserable) crap from foods I can't eat, because like you said, they are high sugar, high fat.

So no, it's not the Protein drinks, it's the fat and sugar in the particular Protein Drinks you are choosing.

ALSO... You would not be dead from starvation on 1200 calories a day. People live happily on that amount. This board is full of them.
