Why was I a fool

 First time in the 17 1/2 mos of the journey that I drink a liquid after I ate.  Did I think I was dieing(SP?) oh yeah.
I must have been losing my mind, No it was somewhere  like this morning the reason I can back home. I almost ran a red light the mind was one something else and I should have not been out anyway that's that. But I ate and was not thinking and after I ate there was a glass of tea setting there. and I drink a few sip and there I was dieing.At least I thought I beening was so da*n sick didn't dump nor buffed wished that I did.
It took the longest to get over that feeling it took 18mos for that mistake it will be a lot longer before I'll be a fool like that again.

I hope by the time you read this that you are feeling better, however not that I know much about dumping but it sound like you might have dumped, most on here describe dumping as them wanting to die. Was the tea sweet? I trying to firgure out how drinking a few sips while eating would make you feel that way, most time drinking while eating just flush the food through, allowing you to eat more.  You may want to check what you were eating, perhaps it was the food and you were dumping than the fact that you sipped while eating.

The reason that drinking is not encouraged is that it flushes the food too quickly from the pouch not that it makes you sick. You may have been dumping from the ingredients of the beverage but not the act of drinking itself.  However, if you gulped the drink or failed to chew your food well the liquid may have caused a gas pocket to form which could have been quite painful.

Thanks Miz D for explaining it better ...that is what I was trying to say, just didnt have the right words, I too was thinking maybe she swallowed a too big of a gulp and had that stuck feeling that make you feel like you are dying or wishing for death. I know as a lapbander, drinking too soon after eatng makes me feel that way only because of the food sitting there blocking the opening but did not think a person with her type of surgery would have that problem unless drinking to fast.

Hi LuciousLA and Miz D
You'll was right on both counts it was a sip only a sip of 2/3sweet tea and 1/3 water mixed. It took about an hour for it to stop didn't eat anymore.  I have try every trick I see someone posting about getting water down and still can't drink water. The water delivery man have drop 5 different types of water. Every time I stop to a store I try a differen****er and it has not worked yet.  My niece just made a comment on how many different kind of water that's opened and maybe 1/8 of each bottle is gone and there six different kind in the back of the van. Try lemon, equal pink stuff the new sweetener's the flavor water's.  I've been trying to get off the tea and back to water. I used to drink 6 -20oz bottles of water between 6:pm and 12:am in the night. Since surgery I have not been about to get but a few sips in once aday at any given time .  I feel as sick as I did the other night, I have not giving up but it just not going down without a bad stomach and I do sip at the water cold,room temp you name it. I've been trying to get off the tea because I want off all the diabetes meds that I can. I'm  still on the pills (4night) (1 morning) off all the shot but the sugar level last count was 6. Still trying all the trick I can I see my WLS Dr. on January and see what's up?  Thanks won't make that mistake twice I never usually have liquid on the table while eating now I know why not.

Thanks again

LaVern,

I don't know what happens with the RNY, but I have tried a couple of times to eat and drink (jus****er) or drink a little right after I eat -- and I  everytime.  I had to learn the hard way -- eating and drinking makes me very ill!!!!!!  It's a very miserable feeling.

I never drin****il 30 minutes are so after eating. Because I never have a drink on the table with me. I don't know why it was there I think the HB was trying to be thoughtful and put me a glass because in had something to drink. He seen me so sick that I don't think he"ll be so thoughtful anymore.

I made that mistake once too Katheen.  It was a horrible and painful experience!  I have not done it since. I hope you are feeling better!!!

Hi Twin, took about an hour but was feeling better wanted to sleep drafted off only for a little while and then was up again. I can be stupid twice sometime but not like that again.

I once had a couple sips of diet soda...NEVER AGAIN!!  My stomach hurt for 2 hours.  As long as we learn our lessons it's all good.  
I am happy to hear you are feeling better.
