Dumping - did you take any tests?



Recommended Posts

My doctor suggesting testing me with a few different types of food when I hit 30 days to see how I react. He said he wants to save me from embarrassing situations at public events. I’m curious to see if anyone else has done this with their Dr

No but I’ve figured out pretty quick to introduce foods on the weekend when I’m at home. The way my dumping syndrome manifests is that I get hot, I get a tummy ache and I lay down and fall asleep for 1-3 hours.

No. I’m 9 months out and have never had it. I’ve had bites of sweets and a piece of bacon or something else fatty and it didn’t affect me, but it was a tiny amount. You may never get it.

      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.
