Dumping mishaps!

[Jrichard]

It's a beautiful day, I'm feeling good so I say to my husband let's go for a walk. We drive over to a local park called Ferry Meadows, the sun is shining, the birds are singing........you get the picture. We decide to have a light bite first. I chose a spud with cheese and manage a few forkfuls.

We walk 100 yards, I start dumping, next thing I no I'm sat at a picnic table fast asleep with my husband waking me to say 'I've got the car love'!

Moral of the story; don't go for a walk in 35 degree heat, 11 days post op and try to eat spud and cheese, your body won't thank you for it!:8855:

Oh not good, but I am surprised you are eating spud and cheese 11 days out. i was on fluids for 2 weeks then a very soft diet for 2 weeks.

Hope you feel better now, and its all a learning curve.

Good luck with your journey

Oh dear! Iam a bander so I don't dump. What happens when you dump? Dumping is such a horrible word!

 

[Jrichard]

I no, apparently it's because the food is 'dumped' rapidly into the intestines. I shouldn't have had the food but it was half one and I hadn't eaten yet. I thought that it was the safest thing on the menu, how wrong was I!

Dumping isnt nice, its very similar to a hypo so you get light headed, sweat dizzy feel sick it passes in a few minutes or can last upto about 30 mins but sometimes its easier to sleep it off.

Even the most sensible food choices turn out to be sooo wrong, but I would advise you do all your firsts at home to try them just in case you have a bad reaction, but the other problem is you could be fine 1 day with it and then dump the next time you have it. You have to keep trying new things x

That's what my husband said. He suggested we make a post oppers picnic and take that with a blanket next time.

 

[msunique]

Thats a good idea, but it wont be forever, you WILL be able to order a spud and cheese or a sandwich etc from a cafe before you know it.

That sounds pretty horrible, no wonder bypassers seem to lose weight quicker than banders! I'd be too scared to be naughty!

It has happened to me a few times this last week.
I also get terrible tummy ache and have to make lots of trips to the ladies. It clears me out very well lol. But seriously it is very painful.
Last week I met my daughter in a cafe for lunch and had a couple of mouthfulls, a very tiny amount, of a pannini. Two mins after the meal I was practically on my knees outside the ladies, foaming at the gills and desperate to use the lav. The toilet was full up and I had to get my partner to rush me home (five mins in the car) where I promptly rushed to the toilet and EXPLODED!!!
Yuck!
You never know when its going to get you.
