1st time dumping??Not sure??

Hi; I had surgery on the 15th of May and I think I may have had my first episode of dumping. I made my protein shake as usual and decided to try to add some cinnamon and some sugar free, Coffee Mate Vanilla Caramel Creamer (maybe 2 small shakes of the can). I drank the whole 11 oz shake and was fine till I got to the bottom where I think everything I added concentrated. I started feeling really nauseated and warm and a little dizzy. It took twenty minutes to start to go away. Is that dumping or is my stomach just sick of these protein shakes???

I think it's dumping. I've had that exact same feeling a few times. I had assumed that dumping was associated with having to take a poop (sorry!) but for me it's when I feel sick to my stomach, get hot sweats, dizzy and tired.

Meagan; How long did it take before it stopped? Also, have you thrown when this has happened to you? I haven't yet, but wanted to and that was on something sugar free! This is a very good deterent for me to have anything with real sugar since I can't stand to be nauseated! LOL

It usually lasts anywhere from 15min to an hour for me. I've had it three-four times now. I've thrown up once. It wasn't "THROW UP" though - it was foamie. It also hasn't necessarly been on sugar for me. I got dumping from chicken and another time it was from nacho cheese.

yes.. i've expienced this too on two occassions. Once i drank to soon after i ate and the other time i just ate to fast. I got sweaty, dizzy and nauseated. They both lasted maybe 20 minutes, but i never wanna do it again.. i worry everytime i eat. I do have to say one time i did get so dizzy I had to lay down on the floor and I almost past out. so its not something u wanna do...

Make sure you look at the SUGAR ALCOHOL when you use things. It can be just as bad as SUGAR I have heard. Hugs! Shele

11 oz? wow. brave girl. I am pretty sure that in 2 weeks, I will be at 2 oz pouch, not 11 oz. and that creamer crud will kill you, I figured that out about 8 weeks ago before surgery. keep it real, no artifical and you will be 'safer'

11 OZ??? WOW... I'm not sure if you dumped or if you just drank to much. As far as I'm aware were only supposed to drink up to 8oz in an hour at max. I guess were all different, just be careful!!!
