My pouch is working--I ate too fast and for the first time found out how horrible dumping syndrome can be.  never again I hope

I'm so sorry!  It is not pleasant.  On the other hand, there's that tool to help you.

WHAT did you eat? Dumping is different for everyone. Most of the time there is vomiting ( not foamies****asionally diarreah, sweats and heart palpitations.
A lot of us juist get very sleepy.
It does suck.
Chances are eating too fast gave you the foamies . ( I am 6 years out, so I know a little)!!

It was the same thing I have eaten before, cheese beans and potatoes.  I measure carefully--3ozs of cheese beans and 1 oz of potatoes.  Since it was something I had eaten before I attributed it to eating too fast.  Too interested in 'idol' I guess.  You may be right it may not have been dumping syndrome.  I just had a pain in pouch area and felt ill.  Felt as if I needed to lie down.  lasted about a half hour.  I am OK now though.  Thanks for the input!

Potatos may be the culprit. They are very starchy. Just be careful when you eat.

I hate to tell you this, my friend, but you will have this again at some time.  It just creeps up on you regardless of how careful you are.  There are different degrees of it.  At five and a half years out I still get it and often.  When I eat my body tells me to stop and I cannot eat another bite or I will be really sick.  Sometimes my "body" is a little slow with its message and I get sleepy and lathorgic for a few minutes.  Most times it last only for a few minutes and isn't too uncomfortable.

Welcome to the club.  lol

Thanks for the info.  This is one club I am not looking forward to being a member.  But I don't want to be a member of the super morbidly obese club worse.  Thanks for the input.

I remember my first dump!  I thought I was going to die!!!  3 years out and I still do it when I eat things I KNOW I am not supposed to.  My DR said, "From time to time you will TEST yoiur pouch."  He was SOOOOO right!!!!  Yoiu think, hmmm....can I eat this now?   Usually the answer is NO! 

Hang in there.  You get used to it and know what you can and cannot eat.  Same for how fast you eat or how much you can drink....
