Hi, I was bypassed 8 weeks ago and have previously been an avid CWP user. I used these products on the pre op diet and then used them the first week post op. I found I was dumping with them. I used the soups and sometimes I would be ok and other times as I wasn’t. I thought it was post op tiredness etc and then I made the link. I didn’t get palpitations, but was on the toilet and had an overwhelming urge to lie down and I felt sick. It would take 30-60 mins to pass. The dietician felt it was dumping, but was surprised that CWP did this. It sounds like the same could be happening to you. Could you eat protein and veg/salad instead of CWP? I ended up in an unhealthy cycle with CWP and hope to never return to it. I would use the products for weeks/months and then go on holiday and regain the weight rapidly and some more. I would binge as I felt I’d been deprived for months. I hope to never return to it again. That said, I initially lost 11 stone with these products. Never regained the full amount but did put half back on. Hope you get sorted.
How much have you regained if you don’t mind me asking? Your profile says your below your target weight. I’m worried this will happen to me somewhere along the line!
Sorry I’ve not updated my profile. I’ve put on about 4 stone which is mainly due to my meds so gonna try and come off them again. I still have restrictions and can only eat small meals x
That must be so annoying. I hope you can come off the meds without it affecting your health.
