Re: 3 weeks out and getting sick

[Guest guest]

How much sugar is in your protein drink? I felt really yucky when I was on

liquids only (had lots of nausea) but as soon as I started on soft foods that

went away. I don't think dumping syndrome lasts all that long. I've only had

one episode of this and it was when I drank too much milk at one time but it

only lasted about 1/2 hour or so. But now I am 4 weeks post op and I am

handling milk in larger quantities without a problem. My doctor told me that

dehydration is what lands most WLS patients back in the hospital so I sipped my

way through the days in the beginning and always had a bottle of water in my

hand.

Hi everyone

I am new to the sight and am 3 weeks out of surgery. Yesterday I

ended up in the ER from dehydration. I got sick from the protein

drink the nutritionist gave me and was sick for about a day & 1/2

after that. The doctor I saw in the ER told me that it was not

uncommon for people to have boughts of sickness occassionally after

the surgery. Can anyone please tell me if this is really is a common

thing or if this is what they call 'dumping syndrome'? Thank you.
