dumped for the first time
well I just got back from Dr Sohi's y/d. He was extremely pleased with how I was doing!! . It was a long day for me and I had nothing to eat. Stupid move. I get home and make dinner, 3 slices of tomato, 1 slice of chicken breast and one slice of deli black forrest ham, paired with a few melba toasts. Well I started to eat and began with the stomach cramps. So I put dinner away. It kinda felt like real bad gas. I go to bed and in a bit it settles down , so me being the brainiac tells self to go finish dinner. I was bowled over for 5 hours with heaves and wretching, nothing came out but foam and spit, the pain in my gut was so severe that I considered going to emerge, it was coupled with sweating and shakes......I am 9 months out and almost at goal, I NEVER EVER want to feel like that again
I hope it dosent happen again either!. Now Im scared to eat solids. I think Ill go easy for a couple of weeks and stick to protein shakes and cottage cheese /yogurt. I seriously was thinking about going to the ER, but I figured they wouldnt have done much, except for maybe giving me some fluids IV. I hope all is well with you Krista, I see you have lost a ton of weight !!! fantastic for you
Sounds more to me like something being stuck than dumping. I hear it can be pure agony.
Hope you feel better

well I am unsure really which it was. I do know that all I wanted to do was lay down , but every time I tried to, I would get chills and began to wretch. We are talking like 20 plus times of chills with heart palps and wretching. I mostly sat on my bed heaving until I thought it was over-with, lay down and it would start all over. I never want to feel like that again. I kinda felt like being kicked in the belly over and over. I feel better today, just a lil tightness in the abdomen where my ribs meet in the middle. But I am terrified to eat anything now. Ill stick to real soft things, I had a yogurt and a shake today... so far. Thanks for writing
thanks for your input. I know I am never hungry, and tend to go too long inbetween meals and snacks. And I did eat far too quick, I had 3 dogs trying their best to scam bites of food off of me.......I shoulda took more time and shared more , then got more if I needed it. Our old ways of eating seem to come back without thinking, ingrained in our psyche
