Dumping syndrome?

I am 6 and a half months post op and have so far not felt the full blow of dumping syndrome, however this morning, for breakfast I had a bowl of porridge and rather than adding sugar, I added honey, about 20 mins after eating I went ridiculously dizzy and then began to sweat, shake, feel sick, tired, and cold. My legs and arms turned to jelly and I couldnt walk - I felt like I needed to eat stodge like bread or potatoe, but ended up drinking loads of water and going to bed. Ive come down, been sick, have a belly ache and feel like I need the loo (number 2)


Is this normal? Or is this the dreaded dumping syndrome? Will I feel better later?

Thanks

Sally

oh dear hun sounds like dumping to me, i had the same feeling last night after eating some honey loops . It's not very nice is it, at least now you know what it feels like you can try and avoid it, i find it usually passes quite quickly if i lie down and try to relax.
I hope you feel better soon

Hope ur both ok

That sounds like classic dumping syndrome! Yes, you'll be fine. The tummy ache may turn into something a bit more urgent but after that you should be ok. Poor ol' you. I hope you feel better soon. Mxx

oh my god is that what dumping is like oh my I am dreading the first time i have that. If I avoid sugar and honey and anything with to much sugar in will i get away with ever dumping do you think? lol

 

[gaelic girl]

Oh Sal poor you i've not had that pleasure yet i'll just stick to my apple and blackberry porridge! Glad you are feeling better though have a good night out xx

 

[salski]

Ok - 3 number 2's and a food craving ALL day and now Im dressed to impressed and ready to go out...I look and feel great - which is not often these days

 

[swizzlestick]

Have a fab night out Sal, bet you look FAB xX

 

[phatgirl]

Ahh, Sal you dumped fullblown style. Sorry you had that happen but honey is tricky, I remember someone else who had never dumped but did with honey. I have never big time dumped as of yet but I have gotten a little dizzy after a couple of sips of s smoothie and once I had some pastry that made need a nap. Those are what are called pre-dumping or mild dumping. Not fun so I imagine the real deal would be terrible.

Anyway, enjoy yourself tonight, and party like a rockstar!

Hi Sal, sorry you had such a bad experience, but thanks for letting us know so we can avoid or at least be careful of honey.

Oh Sal poor you i've not had that pleasure yet i'll just stick to my apple and blackberry porridge! Glad you are feeling better though have a good night out xx

Allie, I amazed to read that a Scot would even consider corrupting their oats with apple or blackberry. You'll be saying you have milk in it next.
