Dumping Syndrome or bad indigestion?
Hello, I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and am doing soft foods and starting pureed foods. I was told to not eat too much starch and today I tried a cheese quesadilla(very thin)and ate just one and a half triangles of it. I took small bites and mushed the food alot in my mouth,etc. Afterwards it hurt to swallow it down and I felt like gas pains and my stomach was making alot of noises but I did not pass gas nor have diarrhea or vomit. It is still bothering me..I am just gonna give it a rest and not eat anything and just sip a drink for a bit. Is this considered dumping? Or just indigestion from me being an idiot and eating too much at one time? LOL..I am still learning. I am trying to improvise and such. What happens when you eat more than the pouch can hold(I had GB surgery)? Does it just skip the pouch and go to your intestines? Or? It doesn't feel like I have to throw up and I am not nauseous. Hmm..anyone? And also I know i am to drink my protein shakes and also try some foods// how many foods or times a day should I eat some food..like a little egg in the morning..shake..a little yogurt..shake..a little cheese? That sort of thing? Thanks! Kristen
