Is this Dumping??

I have noticed that carbs have started to creep back into my diet. I have also noticed that I am not feeling as good as I was before. So over the last few days I have been trying to eliminate the "crap" carbs from my diet. Today I was sitting there (after completing my 1 hour workout) and decided to have some popcorn. Well...about  20 minutes later I started feeling terrible, just a few cramps ( not like the time I had too much sugar) and felt just awful, very tired. I drank a bunch of water and was convinced I was going to throw up, I fell asleep and after about 2 hours I started to feel better. Was this another kind of dumping?? Or something else? I have noticed the nauseous feeling after eating crackers, but never this bad. Any ideas, I know what to do....I will not eat the popcorn again, there are much better alternatives.

Awe Sarah, I am so sorry...I think you did dump...I dump like that too. I don't get the rapid heart rate but I do get the horrible cramps like I want to explode from inside out and then when it is all done "throwing a fit" I sleep....

That is exactly what happened to me last night after i ate some elk sausage. As soon as it hit the pouch...it was on. I had to go lay down. I fell asleep shortly before midnight...ugh, 2010 went out like a bang...lol 

Hang in there and yes, I would lay off the crap carbs. It really is not worth it and you are relatively new postop...soooooo....just stick with basics.

Diana, I think you are right. I guess I dump on carbs differently than I do on sugar. I guess this is a good thing...Sticking to the basics...and staying away from that awful feeling. Happy New year.

Carbs metabolize into sugar in our bodies... and it can affect each of us differently....

I know carbs (simple) can mess with me big time- and its a good incentive to stay away from them. 

Sugar now... well... seems I can tolerate it much better now - darn it!!
