Best wishes and good luck to everyone! My fingers are crossed that you all have uneventful surgeries and smooth recoveries.
Off to the loser's bench, the lot of you!

Thanks Shannon. I folded some laundry today, so that was a plus. My husband said that I don't seem as bad as I was with my C-section. So that's encouraging! I went up and down the stairs a couple times and walked some laps. I wi**** was warmer, because I would walk more outside. Lets keep it up!!!
I saw your other post and the responses to it. I agree that it doesn't sound like dumping; dumping happens after sweets due to the sudden influx of sugars into the system. Tuna wouldn't have anything in it to make you dump.
Glad the doctor got back to you. Give it a little more time on this stage of your post-op diet, and I'm sure it will all resolve. You must be so ready to move on to the pureed foods, though...I feel for you!

Oh, my. I'm sorry to hear that, I've heard that dumping can be pretty awful. Do you have any idea what caused it? Are you keeping any kind of a food diary so you can see what you ate last night, if you don't remember?
You need to eat something. Pick something you ate a couple of days ago, so you know it won't cause you any problems. Hang in there!

Last night I had my first time of 'dumping' I have heard many stories about this and it can consist of many things. There was no throwing up or diarrhea.
It was straight out pain in my intestines. I seriously wanted to die.( and that is not even exaggerating ) I have had 6 surgeries, gave birth to 2 children, and I NEVER in my life felt pain like that. It woke me up from a dead sleep. It lasted and on and off for about an hour. I never, ever want to feel that again.
Today I am basically afraid to eat anything at all. It is 2pm and all I have had is water. I know I need my protein. But I am seriously afraid to touch anything else. But that is my update... sorry it is a downer.
I am almost two weeks out. I still have soreness, rarely, I still have to take a pain pill. Last night I had my first time of 'dumping' There was no throwing up or awful BM or anything.

Tiffanie I am not sore at all. I feel real good. Sometimes I feel a pull on my left side but nothing bad. I do get out of breath pretty quick. Before surgery I was walking 3 miles in 1 hour but I can barely walk a mile now. I am doing it slowly and listening to my body. I had surgery on Monday 12/9 and when I came home 12/12 I felt good enough to do dishes. Each day I do some chore around the house. Take it easy and dont over do it. You will be exercising in no time.
