WOULD YOU BELIEVE--I THINK I D.U.M.P.E.D.?

Hi Everyone I need a diagnosis on this one. Would you believe I am one year out and have not EVER felt the way I do now? I am wondering if this is considered an official dumping syndrome. I purposly ate too many M & M's because lately I have not been getting ANY symptoms to scare me....and now I feel like I could die. Right now I am sitting here shaking, sweating, feeling like I am drunk/lightheaded, heart pounding, stomach pains along with a green BM. I am hoping that I did indeed dump because then I know that YES I DO DUMP ON SUGAR! This just may be the incentive I need to keep me away from cheating and giving into my cravings. Right now the only thing I am craving is ice water. It began with stomach pains along with constant yawning and a need to go to bed. Then when I had to get up I thought if I took a shower I would feel better but instead the hot shower raised my body temperature. Thanks for your help on this one. I am awaiting the results. Hugs Marianne

Hi Marianne, the symptoms you described are what happens to me when I dump, so I will say yes, you have experienced your first "Dumping' episode....Welcome to the club

[grins] ain't it funny how humans ALWAYS have to get bit by a dog before they learn that dogbites are painful? Every last person I know ~ it is the nature of the beast ~ pushes that envelope just to find out where it will end up. Now you know, so I am certain you won't be doing THAT again! Have a better day ~

Welcome to Dumping Syndrome! That is exactly what happens to me. All I want to do is lay down and pray for it to end, so I think before I eat more often. Kimberly 238/170/150

surgery on 9/9/05 - haven't dumped or what I thought was dumping...apparently my thoughts were wrong. Last night I made my protein shake about 1 1/2 hours after my dinner...I put 1/2 tbls of peanut butter in it. I got through 3/4 of the shake and couldn't drink another drop...my heart started beating, I broke out into a sweat and could not stop yawning...10 mins later I actually fell asleep and woke up about an hour or so later light headed and not feeling well...so I went to bed. I'm guessing that's what dumping is for me...seems that it's different for everyone. hugs...Linda
