Hi. I had an open rny on 8/14/02 and I find that I have the same reaction after eating pretty much anything. I also wondered if it was "dumping". I start feeling very hot (always) and sometimes I feel sleepy. I hope someone can fill us in on this weird occurance. Thanks for asking the question!

What you are describing sounds very much like dumping. At least I have the same symptoms when I dump: Increased heartrate, sweating, sleepiness. Usually it happens with too much fat or sugar. If you used regular salad dressing on your salad that could do it. How was the chicken and turkey cooked?

I really do not have an answer. BUt you just described what happened to me last night. I ate 10 shrimp, no breading, and dpped in a margarine. Then my baby chihuahua was attacked by a huge dog. I drove him 30 miles to the vet, and after I had stopped crying and the vet gave me good news..no broken bones no internal bleeding. I started to sweat from everywhere, felt faint, dizzy, and a knot in my gut. Started gagging, but nothing was in the stomach. Maybe it was not dumping, only stress from the drama?

yeah, I went thru this (still do occassionally) from about 5 weeks to 8 weeks. Am at 10 weeks now and am noticing less of this happening this week and last. Most that I've talked to said it's normal and passes - gets better with each week. I found a couple of foods that set well with minimal dumping (tomato soup, spaghettios, baked beans, moz string cheese, saltines with tuna) and lived on those. Not the best diet, but it was what my tummy wanted so it's what it got. Hang tough, this too should pass :>)

This happened to me with almost everything I ate until I was about 6 months post op, and now at 11 months I still ocassionally do it. Also I may eat something and be fine one time then eat it again later and it make me ill, where I have to lie down. My surgeon says it's just my body's way of coping :(
