Hi! I had my surgery on July 14th. I am not experiencing what you are, but strongly suggest you talk to your doctor as soon as possible. When you say you eat meat and you dump, I just wanted to tell you that you dump from eating too much sugar. The dumping occurs when your body "dumps" alot of insulin into your body because you've eaten too much sugar. It might have too soon for you to eat the meat. Don't get frustrated...talk to your doctor as much as you can because he/she will help you! Hang in there.
Dear Elizabeth,
I am 3wks post-op, are you meaning that when you eat meat you throw up or really dump? I have tried some chicken (white meat ie: wing, breast) but I took very small bites and chewed each bite about 50 times. You have to chew it to where it's almost paste feeling in your mouth and usually it only takes about 5 very small pieces and i'm full. If you overeat that also will make you throw up, so my trick was finding my full spot then stopping. Also remember we can't drink anything 30 minutes before or after our meals. I don't know how much I have lost but i'm not worried. As long as I keep walking and eating mostly protein wheather in food form or shakes i'll be ok. Hope this helps. Please e-mail me if you want to talk. God Bless You.
