I think I dumped
Hi there - so here I am - almost 7 months out - still not sure what it was that I experienced last night. I thought that dumping was throwing up - however, after reading so many of your posts - I think that I dumped last night. So at about 6:30 I was rushing, (First problem) to get my son home so that I could get to an event I was excited about getting to and my son had gotten an order of fries from Lee's hoagies. So, I have eaten fries before, not often, but enough to know that I can tolerate a few of them without any difficulty. So, I was eating the fries with him - they were very crispy and thin, (problem No. 2) I then was driving him home with them in between us and kept putting my hand in the bag and taking out what I thought was just a few at a time. I stopped and then continued eating them, (problem No. 3). by the time I got home at 6:55 I was feeling a little strange, and thought nothing about it - knowing that I probably ate too many fries - again, still thinking it would pass.
I was leaving my house at 7:05 and my husband asked if I was OK - My stomache was starting to hurt, sharp pains, but not too bad - so I said I was fine and continued on my way to the event.
I got to the event about 7:25 and the pains were getting a little more difficult to handle, but I hadn't seen so many of these people in a long time, and they were gushing all over me! (Who doesn't love that!) So I made my way through the people and knew that I was not feeling well at all, I told a few people that I was having pains, and then I realized that I was sweating, not like crazy, but clammy like. So - again, I figured, I would just sit down and then it really started....The pains were like someone was stabbing me from the inside, and my belly was making all kinds of crazy noises - and my pants, which were loose, felt like they were suffocating me, I knew this coudn't be good. Still, I was not nauseous so I let it go. At about 8:15 PM I couldn't stand it any more and had to go to the bathroom. I was lost in there for about 15 minutes. Although I was still NOT nauseous and did not throw-up - I was pretty sure I was dumping - the pains continued while I was going to the bathroom. I finally felt like I was able to leave the bathroom and the pains got a little, and I do mean little, better. I hung out with the group I was with until about 9:15 - At that point I had to leave - left without saying goodbye and went home - on the drive home, although the pains did not go away, I was also exhausted. I was so tired on the drive home and couldn't wait to get into bed.
I got home, my son took one look at me and sent me to my room, in which I climbed into bed and immediately fell asleep.
I feel totally fine this morning - and whether it was dumping or not, I NEVER want to feel that again!
I have been eating very little this morning and have not been real hungry - I am about to go eat lunch and will see how that goes.
Was this a case of dumping? If it was not what was it? Do I need to call Dr. P - It is all good now - not sure what to do - any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks all! :)

Yuck, dumping - sure sounds like it to me - its never fun, it probably will happen again no matter how careful you are, but thankfully it passes fairly quickly and just leaves you feeling washed out for a day or two. So yes, baby your pouch for a while - soft bland foods and fluids. Your episode did sound close to 'foamies' but if you didn't actually cough up the slime it was probably dumping. I don't tend to get the pain when I dump, just feel like I'm dying from a bad case of the flu - pain for me comes with the foamies.

Ah, you dumped!
I too can tolerate a few fries. But it depends on what oil they are cooked in. And sometimes I get sick.
I dumped this morning. But it's because I ate a small brownie, which I KNOW makes me sick. So I knew I was going to. Why? I don't know............
Hope you feel better. It's not fun, and it sucks.
Enjoy your weekend with your girls, no men, no dumping! LOL
