Dumping a day later?
Usually with the RNY, dumping can happen soon after you eat something fatty, greasy or sugary. Was there something that you ate today that you think might have caused it? If there is nothing else you can attribute it to, I would just try to avoid the potato salad for a bit, trying it later once you can tolerate more foods.
Since you are in the soft food phase, now that you are trying more foods just be sure to try one food at a time and go slow. Stop once you feel that comfortable fullness. You'll want to stick to softer protein foods such as soft boiled/scrambled eggs, tofu, light yogurt, non fat cottage cheese, etc. Try to stay away from starchy items such as potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, etc.
I hope this helps,
