Dumping and pain

[Guest guest]

I went to a Chanuka party on Thursday and it is a low carbers and low

fat nightmare. It was held at a nice hotel. I had 1 latke(potatoe

pancake), some coleslaw type salad, cup of coffee with non dairy

creamer and splenda. Well, about 30 minutes later I thought I was

gonna die. I almost passed out on the way to the restroom,

Everything went almost black, I was sweating and had gas and when I

got to the restroom, the diarrhea. I thought I was not going to be

able to drive home. Yes, even at 8.75 yrs I still fat dump. I love

mexican food but it does not like me. This episode of dumping was

one of the worse I have ever had. After about 10 minutes in the

restroom I started feeling better. I washed my face and was able to

relax. My abdomen has been so sore since. I feel like I strained all

the muscles in my lower abdomen, worse than menstrual cramps.

So, again I am reminded that the surgery is still working. Now if

the soreness would just go away I would be a happy camper.

Rita..It is still amazing how different we all are! I have NO problem

with fats...I could eat a deep fried butter pat coated with cheese

without any trouble (not that I WOULD mind you..lol). But don't give me

even a cookie with regular sugar or I will be sick in the potty like you

were.

It isn't pleasant, but it does, as you say, remind you that your surgery

still works.

Speaking of different, I went to our support group's Christmas Party

last night (Danced my tushie off and got home at 1 AM!!) and am still

flabbergasted at how different we all eat! I am sitting there with my

1/4 of a roll, small slice of roast beef and 2 tiny taters (golf ball

size) and I couldn't finish it. A little later, I had a tiny piece of

sugar free cake. I watched post ops eat roast beef sandwiches and

cookies for dessert..lol. Some, going back for seconds! What is

amazing is that we all had the same procedure (some long limb, some not)

with the same surgeon (those who were there that were post op's anyway)

and what we can eat varies tremendously.

Those of you lurking out there peeking in on the lives of 1 yr plus

posties, remember that we are all different. It sure isn't boring after

WLS that's for sure! =o)

Hey Rita,

that SOUNDS like a milk-type and SUGAR-type reaction. Could be fat-type dump.

But you did have cole slaw which is made with milk and sugar as I recall, right?

Could that be what it was?

I notice that when folks tell me that this or that is the best ever, it

usually has suger in it. When I was reading the cole slaw labels at the

market, one of the first ingrediants after cabbage is sugar. We have to

understand that most of our food eaten out can be spiked with sugar. No

wonder the diabetics are having trouble controlling their numbers. my 2

cents.
