dumping question
Dumping for me is the worst! Extreme nausea, dizziness, sweats, chest pains - almost exactly like a heart attack. The nausea is terrible yet I am never able to throw up. You feel that if you could, you would be fine. I just lie down and moan and wait for it to pass - swearing to every god in the universe that I WILL NEVER EAT FOOLISHLY AGAIN. A few days, weeks later..... My DR said that we would "test the pouch". I fail every test! You would think I would learn.....
I'm a month & a half shy of 5 years, and I've experienced alot of different dumping experiences. Sweating, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and once or twice, I've just gotten really sleepy, almost dopey-like. Usually, each episode ends with me going to sleep, a hard sleep, for at least 15 min, then I wake up feeling like I've been on a drinking binge, LOL.

My symptoms are alot like Lisa's. I get sweaty, my heart starts beating fast, nausea, and sometimes I get the foamies along with it.

for me it is most often hot flashes and or carb coma (falling asleep for 30 minutes - 2 hours). Then sometimes, it is nasuea, sweating, the foamies, heart beating rapidly and yawning uncontrolably.

For me, dumping can be anywhere from slight nausea to hugging the toilet throwing up and everything in between. Too many carbs cause me to be hot and sweat, sugar causes nausea and vomiting if I get too much. I was shocked that I full out dumped (yeah...hugging the toilet dumping) on a freaking apple last night. I have eaten plenty of apples since my surgery but this one just didn't go over well at all. Boy was I sick for a good half hour. Most of the time whatever dumping symptoms I have, usually go away after about 30 minutes or so. It's not often that I get it so bad I have to go to bed, but it has happened.
