Is Dumping Syndrome Common



Recommended Posts

Hello

I had gastric bypass back in December 2015. I have experience dumping syndrome many times when I eat certain things but now I have been eating certain things that would cause dumping but I have not experience it. It depends on what and how much I eat of certain foods and Snacks. Best of luck.

I had RNY in February of this year and have never had dumping. No problem eating pie, Cookies, chips, all that junk! The only thing that has really changed is the quantity I feel I can eat and I feel a little queasy if I eat something really fatty (like a fried thing).

FYI, I don't eat junk food often, but have experimented on special occasions and nothing happened. Your mileage may vary!

I've never experienced dumping since my RNY in October 2016. For the first 7 months I was very careful about what I was eating and hardly ate anything over the 6g of sugar recommended to me by the Nutritionist. Now I have found I can eat a small cookie, chocolate or a bit of cake and not suffer any consequences. I have not eaten a full-size dessert of any type. I have stayed away from most fried foods. I have noticed high fat items can cause me to feel yucky but they don't cause dumping. I recently tried corn on the cob and suffered a week of indigestion so sadly it won't be in my diet from now on.

Wow it sounds like a lot of people don't dump!! That's great! I did probably about 5 times my first year...the worst was from having 2 coolers - just too high in sugar at 11 months...it was painful and running to bathroom. I still will only drink 1 cooler not sure if I would dump but I don't wanna test it!!

I agree it does take awhile to learn what your body can tolerate...Now I sometimes test it (other then coolers) and nothing seems to make me dump.

I will have sweets in moderation. With my lapland which was removed, for the sleeve, I ate EVERYTHING and ANYTHING but I got satisfied sooner and never over-indulged. Regarding dumping. ..I am going to start slow with foods and see my bodies reaction. You have to know yourself. Many people have dumping, and or gain weight back etc; you can overeat the wrong foods and not get healthy. I can already tell this Sleeve is 100% better then that lapland that was choking the life out of me.

      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.
