dumping syndrome
Some surgeons will do an ERNY and call it something like the DS. Usually, someone with a DS or sleeve doesn't dump. Not saying you didn't dump, just saying it's not something you usually hear about.

DS on Aug 9, 2007 with Dr. Hazem Elariny
My CC is 175 which *I* consider extremely long...
My surgeon made it that long due to my being a LW...wish mine was closer to 100 but then again, mine being longer may explain the fact that I don't take nearly as many vitamins as most DS'er's. I do take vitamins based on labs.

Horchata is probably the worst choice I can think of to ingest after getting the DS. Please read DSfacts.com for instructions about how to live with your surgery. As time goes on, you may be able to tolerate this sort of sugary cab laden food, but you will gain weight back in a hurry.
I have never known anyone with the DS to have dumping syndrome. You are just a couple of weeks out of surgery and giving your body food it can't tolerate.
I never ate that amount of carbs so early out from surgery. That is simply something you should be avoiding. Its straight up being noncompliant with the proper things to eat and drink after surgery. And I honestly, dont mean to be disrespectful. But thats the straight deal.
I have never heard of anyone throwing up from too much sugar, but I could be wrong. Most instances of throwing up comes from trying to eat and drink too much. Chicken made me throw up once. Too dry. I have thrown up twice, both within the first six months.
I do get air in my stomach sometimes, which makes me burp, but it is easily manageable.
That sounds like dumping syndrome to me. See if you can get your surgical report from your doctor. Look specifically for the way the sleeve was constructed. fi there is no reference to the size of French dilator (bougie), then you probably have an extended RNY (ERNY) which bypasses more of the small intestine, is is still a gastric bypass, not a true Duodenal Switch.
That said, even normies can overload on sugar if they eat too much of it.
Well, you can never say never, but it's very unlikely that this was a true dumping episode. Why are you eating sugary foods so early out? Nevermind that they can (and will) interfere with your weight loss, you have just had an operation that changes both your anatomy and your digestion and your metabolism.
Be gentle with yourself! Stick with easy liquids (water, crystal light, egg drop soup, broth, etc) and soft, easy to digest foods like scrambled egg, cottage cheese, shrimp, scallops and the like. Avoid sugar. You'll feel much better! Carbs will come back into your life at some point whether you want them to or not, but it's way, way too soon for your new system to handle them.
