Do you have a Facebook account? I do! Look me up and add me Courtney Clark-Lamberson, just put OH in the request (so I know I know you!)
I had a massive lactose intolerance for about nine months after surgery so I know too much dairy will not bode too well with the ol' tummy either. I can drink it, but very little of it or it feels like dump city.
At this point it's definitely a trial and error thing. When I tried things and got a not so nice reaction, I wrote it down - date, time of day, what it was, amount, etc. and then a few months later would try it again. If it did the same thing then I waited a good six months before trying it a third time. If it didn't fly then, I don't try any further!
I get those all the time................20 min cat nap work - almost daily !! lol
But I'm doing better this week and last..... I remember when I was young - that my mother use to say that she got so sleepy after eating...........NOW I CAN RELATE...............WATCH THOSE CARBS.................INSTANT NAP TIME.... LOL
have we learned out lesson yet or are we still pushing that "line".....testing waters?
YEPPERS - I'VE LEARNED but still do it.....................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr One of these days.....I'll listen to my body !! I'm trying to do better and focus more on protein and veggies......
PB & Apples are my favs - I just don't like prepping the apples........then they turn brown and mushy.
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

When symptoms of dumping syndrome occur during a meal or within 15 to 30 minutes following a meal, they may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain, cramps
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness, lightheadedness
- Bloating, belching
- Fatigue
- Heart palpitations, rapid heart rate
When signs and symptoms develop later, usually one to three hours after eating, they may include:
- Sweating
- Weakness, fatigue
- Dizziness, lightheadedness
- Shakiness
- Feelings of anxiety, nervousness
- Heart palpitations, rapid heart rate
- Fainting
- Mental confusion
- Diarrhea
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Some people experience both early and late signs and symptoms. Conditions such as dizziness and heart palpitations can occur either early or late — or both. No matter when problems develop, however, they may be worse following a high-sugar meal, especially one that's rich in table sugar (sucrose) or fruit sugar (fructose).
Some people also experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), related to excessive levels of insulin delivered to the bloodstream as part of the syndrome. Hypoglycemia is more often related to late signs and symptoms. Insulin influences your tissues to take up the sugar present in your bloodstream.
