Mrs. Hayes 90 Posted August 18, 2019 I'm almost 5 months post gastric bypass and I ate 4 strawberries with 1/4 cup blueberries 2 and a half hours ago and I feel so not good! My stomach feels full, I tried throwing up but there's nothing in there. I feel sick and not really nauseous but like I need to throw up. What's going on? help! Veterans I need you. 2 Bastian and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValerieInMexico 162 Posted August 18, 2019 Hmmm. Were they fresh strawberries? Did you chew them well, or slice them small? I used to have problems with bananas when I bit of a piece. I think it would get stuck. I now slice them lengthways, so they are not round. Theoretically, you could have bitten a piece of a large strawberry, that could block the stoma. Just an idea. Eventually it would break down. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they were fresh and i cut them up and chewed well. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to eat some Protein and a bit of carb to fix it. I take my blood sugar reading and then dose a glucose tablet accordingly, then eat protein 30 minutes afterward (once my bg comes back up) to stabilize it.

2Bsmaller18 436 Posted August 20, 2019 When I eat fruit I try to eat a little yogurt or 2 pieces of walnut with it so I have Protein and fat mixed with the carbs. If I rarely eat fruit by itself it's only 1 strawberry or a 1/4 cup of blueberries. 1 1 Mrs. Hayes and ErinshayWV reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froufrou 678 Posted August 20, 2019 Found this info on dumping - I had no idea late dumping was a thing. https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=134&ContentID=107 1 Mrs. Hayes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
