cant take it anymore, no matter what i eat or drink i dump, and not vomiting either

even if i take a sip of water my tummy cramps up!. i stop milk and am on soy, even that cramps me up, and not even after 2 minutes i finish eating, i have to run to the bathroom. what am i doing wrong. my nut says thats dumping, but why??


before breakfast: protein drink, makes me heave and then bathroom
breakfast, 1 egg scrambles with a slice of cheese, bathroom,
lunch: some mash potatoes or pureed spinach, bathroom
dinner: mash potatoes, and some lentil soup= bathroom,
 and all day i drink water, some k20 water, sf popcicles= bathroom, and awful tummy cramps,

Call your surgeon...you shouldn't be this sick.  Let us know.

What you are describing does not sound at all like dumping. You should call your doctor right away and have this looked into.
Please let us know how you're doing once you've seen your doctor!!!
Take care,

Without a doubt, you need to call your doctor right away. This is definitely NOT normal. Don't wait because you don't want to wind up in the hospital for dehydration.

Feel better and keep us informed.

Sounds almost lactose intolerant....with a side effect of complications...but...I am not a doctor....and too poor to stay at a Holiday Inn express.....Call the Doctor!

YES CALL THE DR.  I felt sick about three months out and I ended up having to have gall baldder out.  Everything I put in my stomach made me feel awlful and had stomach pain.  I sometimes felt like I was going to be sick BUT wasn't. I would call right away.  i went to the dr on a Tuesday and had some test in Thursday and by the next Wednesday i was in th eOR getting ride os Gall Baldder  OHHH  call asap  hope you feel better Bridgit

A protein shake should be breakfast for many, dtink slowly over 30 min, with water ice only....try 1/2 scoop vs whole...

Do not eat/drink together (the mashed potatoes and lentil soup is what I am referring to) may make u vomit. How fast and much are u eating? 203T may be it at this point, and that should take 15-30 min to eat!

Many folks say water irritates, warm sometimes soothes, or deca teas, broths etc.

Mashed tatoes all carbs no nutrition and may be heavy, eggs are a hard protein to digest, as others poiint out u could have a gallbaldder issue a ulcer or something else (Ulcer poerhaos if even fluids irritate you). SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE fot his and IMHO get into see a couselor this is NOT a easy journey to go thru alone it brings up many many issues tha may of been buried with food and fat in out preop lives, depression in first year is high, the grief and loss and changes are immense, you deserve to take advantag of all help that is available! Be well Jamie
