Sounds a lot like the way I feel when I dump. What were you eating?

Cheri is right, this sounds like dumping.

Two words...........DUMPING SYNDROME! Sometimes hidden sugars or foods that you did not think had sugar in it might have had just enough to put you over the edge....it may have been too much fat also. I did this the first time I tried sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast!

It certainly sounds like dumping but I noticed that you are 11 months post-op and I would think that by now you would have recognized the signs of dumping, if that is what it is. I am 13 months post-op and occasionally I eat something that will cause me to have stomach cramps and feel awful until it passes, but not necessarily hot or weak. What are you eating when this occurs, and how long has it been going on for?

I try to never eat anything over 300 to 400 calories at a time. If I do, My heart starts beating real fast and I get extremely sluggest and sleepy. I've been told that it is a form of dumping. Veronica McKellar 8months out down 102lbs

If I overeat at one time, I get very very tired and weak.
