TMI....wth? I feel awful

OK...I was sittin here this evening and was thinking that I didn't have my protein in today so I made me a shake. About 10 minutes after I drank it I got sweaty and had to lay real still and close my eyes cuz I felt like I was gonna get sick. I felt like crap for about 20 minutes...then I got up and started gettin my kidoos in bed. That's when it hit and I had to make a mad dash to the toilet. I had diareah and horrible gas. The wierd part was I could hear the left side of my stomach gurgle and then a minute later it would come on out. Talk about a short trip! To me that sounds like dumping...but what the heck could i be dumping on. I made the shake with Skim milk and SF syrup flavor. Also I have been drinking these all week.

I also wonder if maybe I drank tooo much at one time....will that have the same effect?


AGh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I don't wanna do that again!

Lorna, you dumped. I haven't had surgery yet, but I am a diabetic and I have dumping syndrom sometimes and that' s how it is. You can dump on anything. Dumping happens when you have a surge of insulin flood your system. usually it happens with sweets or fats, but I have a friend who dumps on all dairy products regardless of the fat content and she is an RNYer. Hope you are feeling better.

I haven't had a dumping episode but that is what it sounds like you had. You might have drank too much at a time. I get stomach cramps and diarrhea if I don't take lactaid with dairy products now. Maybe that had something to do with it? Sorry you had to go through it!

I did something similar when my guts was getting all lined up again. I had surgery the 10th. Didnt seem to be related to any specific meal but more my stomacha nd such all catching up. For days I was terrified of the awful gas I had and would spend a lot of time in the bathroom scared to not.

Hey girl....hmmm....that is weird. How can you dump if you have been drinkin them all week? Maybe you had took too much in maybe. I know that I have switched to lactaid milk non fat now, and seem to be doing better in the bloat and gas dept....tummy starting to feel better. Hmmm..maybe try that and see how things go. Sorry I missed your call last nite, I was knocked out. Call you later today

It sounds like your insides are still getting used to things and maybe you drank a little too fast.  Looking back, the times I've had it happen have been similar situations-I am hungry but no time, stop for a quick shake, take it in too quick, boom.  (Only it's usually stopping in to 7-11 for a little jug of milk-NO whole milk for this chica....wheeeeew).

Even though they are low fat, these shakes are hitting our bodies with a lot of protein in a short time-that has to be doing something in there.  I'm much better of shake sippin than gulping. 

Thanks everyone....I think I gonna try and go get some of the shakes they had at the hospital. They where made with water and pretty yummy. I will try milk again later....I am not ready for that again anytime soon....

Although my son forgot his lunch this morning (he is going on a field trip) and I had to leave my house for the first time in a week. I was in the looooong line of cars in front of the school and my stomach started making that grumbly noise...I was soooo scared! But it held of until I got home! Thanks God!

One more thing.....I hit Twoderville! I didn't have far to go but I am there none the less!

Congrats on hitting twoderville!! LOL...yea, thank God that u got home...sorry....I know that isnt funny, but u know how I am...when u find out what the name of the stuff they used in the hospital for protein drinks is, let me know, those were good werent they???

It does not sound like dumping if it was you would have broken into a sweat..could be the protein hit empty and the pouch could not handle it....When I was only a week post op I drunk water to fast OMG I broke into a sweat, felt like my insides were burning up and then poof water came shooting out of my mouth. Since then I do not drink anything fast.I felt horrible for hours
