WLS: Dumping Questions

Current mood: inquizative

I know everyone is different but I would like to know:
-What was the first thing you dumped on?
-How far out from surgery were you?
-How did you feel? How long did it last?
-Do you realize why you dumped? (too much of something?)
-Did you eat it again? Did it happen again?
-What are the things that trigger dumping for you?

“3 months out a mudslide drink from Applebee's. Had about 1/4th of the drink, could not eat my dinner and I was sick the rest of the night.”

“1. Peanut butter.
2. I'm guessing about five months out.
3. My stomach hurt like a bitch for about half an hour.
4. Yes.
5. I have not had peanut butter since.
6. Combination of fat and carbs. Sugar doesn't always do it.”

“The first (and last) thing I dumped on was fruit salad (watermelon, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries)I was 3 months outI felt clammy and as though something was stuck. I had the "foamies" and it lasted about an hourI think I dumped because I ate it way too fastI've since had fruit (many times) and it never happened againThat was the one and only time I have dumped (knock on wood?"

“Bananas. I will be 8 months out on the 29th of this month. And still dump on them. Forgot to add. I was 3 weeks out. Felt like I was gonna die. Tried bananas again a week later, same thing, happened, sweets, heart racing, throwing up, head ache. I f I smell bananas today I start dry heaving (sp).”

“I've never dumped per se, but I have had what's considered the "foamies." Where you eat something too quickly and too much of it gets caught up at the stoma and it won't go down...so it comes back up! A really really good reason you might dump would be if you were drinking while you were eating something. They tell us not to drink anything 30 mins before we eat and then another 30 after we eat so our system has time to empty out and be able to receive the food and empty it out and then receive the liquids. Flushing is a common cause of dumping because the fluids cause the food in your pouch to flush into your small intestine where it is basically just rushed through the system and that's why you can sometimes feel very ill afterwards.”

“First thing I dumped on....pineapple chunks. I was about 4-5 months post op. How did I feel? dizzy, nauseas, rapid heart beat...just felt ~ not right...had to take a nap yep, I knew why I was dumping...I had read about it but didn't think natural sugars would do that..boy, was I wrong!!Did I eat it again...yep, but not as much. I can get away with 3 pineapple chunks and be OK..anymore and I'm hurt'n. triggers for dumping....more than 3 gummie bears....more than 1/2 a reece's pntbutter cup...really, anything over 7 grams of sugar (I've tested my limits)...whether the sugar is natural like in fruits or atrificial, like in candy or sugar alcohols in sugar free products...it's about the same ~ nothing over 7 grams of sugar.I'm a sugar crack whore...I need to be spanked when I try to get "my fix".....I'm thankful for my dumping!!”

“-Marble Slab Ice Cream-Three months-My stomach hurt and I had dry heaves forever (nothing would come up). Very nauseated. Had to go to bed.-Too much sugar....waaaay too much-Will I eat it again...No Way! I knew better and did it anyhow.-That is the only time I have dumped. I don't even test the waters to see how much sugar I can take before dumping.”

“-What was the first thing you dumped on? The only time I've had a problem was with a combination of baked beans & BBQ sauce. -How far out from surgery were you? About 5 months.-How did you feel? How long did it last? I got very hot, flushed & sleepy. Once I was able to get to sleep, I woke up 1/2 an hour later feeling fine.-Do you realize why you dumped? (too much of something?) I made the mistake of not measuring & must have eaten too much.-Did you eat it again? Did it happen again? Haven't tried it again.-What are the things that trigger dumping for you? I try really hard to avoid anything that might make me dump. At first I was pretty sure I wasn't a dumper and was scared to find out that I wasn't for sure. I know I do dump now, even if just mildly so that keeps me in check.”

“First thing I dumped on--Soy chocolate milkHow far out--three weeks post opHow did I feel--150 degree dog s*it! my boss literally caught me in the hallway and ask if i was drunk it lasted 4 hoursWhy I dumped--G*d only knows sometimes I dump sometimes I don't I'm like a Mounds or Almond Joy--sometimes I dump sometimes I don'tHave I had the dumping food since--yep, haven't dumped on it but then i only recently tried it again so far so good--no dumpTriggers for dumping--G*d only knows like I said sometimes I do sometimes I don't --I've dumped on a banana as well as a small bite of cheesecake, I've also dumped on salad dressing but didn't on fresh made ranch dressing--we are all different”

“I was about 2 months out and dumped on watermelon... puked first then 15 min later got stabbing pains in my belly, felt like it was contracting, thought i was gonna die. I have not had it since, but have had grapes and pineapple and have done fine”“-What was the first thing you dumped on? one bite of sausage-How far out from surgery were you? 2 months-How did you feel? terrible, heart racing, sweaty, thought I was going to pass out, needed to sleep How long did it last? an hour, I went and slept if off-Do you realize why you dumped? (too much of something?) Too much fat-Did you eat it again? nope haven't touched sausage again Did it happen again? Dumped one other time on refried beans at Knott's Berry Farm - found out they added lard to it, so again too much fat-What are the things that trigger dumping for you? Only been fats so far, I haven't pushed the limits with sugars to find out.Dump once and you never want to dump again!”

“-What was the first thing you dumped on? 40% apple juice (left over from clear liquid stage), 60% water mixture-How far out from surgery were you? 10 days?-How did you feel? How long did it last? At first flushing, then "bad trip" feeling, then headache and bad car sickness. I went to a open window and let the cool breeze blow on my face...it only lasted about a minute. While it was happening, I was praying it wouldn't last long, because it was horrible. I'm glad I dumped early out, because now that I know how unpleasant it is, I'll avoid sugar like all get out.-Do you realize why you dumped? (too much of something?) Yes, though it was watered down, it was too much volume, too fast. I'm able to drink pretty fast (so far), which in this case, was a curse.-Did you eat it again? Did it happen again? I'd not have it again, I will do anything to avoid that feeling.”
