New Post-Op here; was this dumping?
I'm 7 days post-op today, and am having no interest in food/drink (i'm at the creamy liquid stage). Today i had only had a Snapple Meal Replacement drink and 1/4 c. cottage cheese. The family decided to go to Dairy Queen, so i figured i'd give a child's size chocolate soft serve a try. I was kind of dismayed that i was able to eat all of it (i think there was maybe 1/3 c. of ice cream) without dumping, but about 20 minutes later, my stmach began cramping mildly and i had the urge to use the bathroom. i figured i might have a bout of diarrhea, but i only had a normal bowel movement (sorry for the graphic), then proceeded to feel a little bit flushed and a sweaty. it passed pretty quickly (about 20 minutes). i just wondered if this was dumping? from what i've read here, usually the dumping seems to be a bit more dramatic than what i experienced. Please let me know! Thanks! (OPEN RNY 7/7/03, 227.6/215.0/138)
