Dumping almost 2 years out, only once before
I will be 2 years out next month. I have only dumped once and that was about 6 months out. All of a sudden in the last couple days I have a problem with almost everything I eat . On valentines day they had a ice cream cake delivered at work and I had 2 spoonsful and was really sick the rest of the day
. I have been eating ice cream about twice a week with no problem. Then yesterday I got sick
after eating lunch which was just a 1/2 of a omlette at a restrant, which I have had many times. I got really dizzy and sweatty. My husband and I were out shoe shopping and I had to sit in the store for about 30 min. Then today I had 1 oz of chicken and 1 oz of cheese and a hand full of almonds for breakfast and about 2 hours later I had diarrea
. Im not sure whats going on, I can understand the ice cream but not the protein, plus after all this time, doesnt that seem odd. Just wanted to see if that happened to anyone else at 2 years out. Thanks Debra



Im always thankful for dumping.. it keeps me inline!
Im sorry you felt bad, perhaps take this as a sign to tighten up the reigns and keep a close eye on yourself! Your tool is still working and thats a good thing!
Feel better hon'

Is it possible that you have an intestinal virus?
Since it's been over the course on consecutive days and it doesn't seem to matter what you eat, perhaps you are sick with a virus?
Just a thought..........
I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side. The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

Thank you Linda for your advise, Im sure your right. I know my pouch still works, I feel it every day. I was just a little surprised that I got sick on stuff I eat on a daily basis like eggs and cheese, maybe I ate to much. I seem to get full really fast these days, I think because I have cut out bad carbs and eat mostly protein, fruits and veggies. I dont eat sweets real often and when I do its in small amounts like a couple spoons of ice cream or 1 peice of candy. But I will definetly take this as a sign to pull the reins, like you said, thanks Debra
I bet you do have some sort of virus. Sometimes, even a cold virus can set your system off and cause you to dump. Also, i have a long history of IBS before and after surgery and I find sometimes if I trigger an episode, then for a few days, it's like my gut is irritated and everything sets if off. If it doesn't get better in a few more days, I would check in with your doctor. Stay away from the ice cream and other high fat high sugar foods for a couple of days to let your gut rest and see if this gets things back to normal.
