I had gastric bypass a year agro, all went well and I didn't have any complications. I rarely dump, only when I overeat or eat to much sugar, but that would only be like once a month at most.

I just ate some cheese (no light version) and after that I started having heart palpitations with a heart rate around 135 bpm. I read that you can get that as a dumping syndrome but this is new to me, I always watch what I eat and rarely dump and when I do it's only some light discomfort.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable right now, I'm kinda scared especially seeing I have such high heart rate and my chest hurts. But that's normal right, no need to see a Dr?

Dumping does feel like that and it isn't just from sugar. It also can be from fat. If you are really worried call your Dr. Just to be safe. Sorry this is happening. Take care

Yeah and I had some normal cheese which I normally won't eat so, my heartbeat has gone a bit down, but I'm still not feeling well. I think I was panicking what made it feel even worse. I really felt like I was having a heart attack, the more I focused on it the worse I felt. I'm just lying flat on the couch now and it's helping a bit, I don't think I will ever eat normal cheese again. I'll tell my gp next time I have to see her just so she also knows and I'll see what she says. Thanks for answering.

I am glad you are feeling better. When that happens you do feel like you are having a heart attack. I sweat get dizzy and feel like I am going to throw up. I'm over 4 years out and you would think I would learn my lesson!! LOL Also, I never know what will do it sometimes. LOL Have a great one!!

      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.
