Question:
Is it normal to have pain when eating or drinking hours after dumping?

I am about 6 weeks post and I think I dumped on a sausage and cheese omelette today at about 11 pm. The problem is everytime I try to drink or eat anything - I get bad pains. I cant even sip water without pain. Is this normal?    — kandi S. (posted on December 29, 2002)

YES! I haven't dumped (yet), but I had the flu and vomited alot. It took 6-7 days before I could drink and eat agin without pain. Open RNY 8/6/02 down 88 lbs.

Funny but I was reading a website yesterday that mentioned our dumping may pass in a short time (half hour to an hour usually) but that the pain and nausea can reoccur for a day or two following. They recommended going back to a liquid diet for 24 hours and then soft foods for 24 if you experience those symptoms to give your pouch a chance to chill out again :>)
