OH! I hope I never dump again!!!

I have been kind of quiet the last few days. It's taking all my energy to keep up with my two babies. My mom went home Sunday afternoon so I'm pretty much on my own now. I took a nap when they did and still have been ready to go to bed by 5:30 p.m.!!!! I am down 29 pounds (19 days post op) so far and I dumped last night for the first time. It was one of the most awful things I have experienced in a long time and I hope not to ever do it again! I had the most awful stomach cramps. I think I really scared my husband, poor guy! Wow! I will NOT be trying sugar, that's for sure! I just wanted to post a little so that some of you don't think I went back to the hospita again. I am still home and still doing good, just tired as all get out. Will post more as time and energy allows! Love ya Marchers!!!

Good to hear from you. The hospital was exactly what I was worried about! What did you dump on? Joy

I dumped on CIB. I have been drinking it so far but only about 1/2 at a time. Last night though I was behind on my protein and wanted to get to bed so I kind of downed the whole thing. WRONG thing to do. Very much bad and will not do it again! Dumping is NOT cool!!! Laters! I'm off to fix my kiddos supper. I hate cooking things I can't eat! Oh well, someone has to feed them!

Was it No sugar added CIB or the regular stuff? I've been on NSA CIB (3 times a day) since discharge from the hospital Just last night I think I may have drank it a little to fast and I got the worst pains in my chest and back ever. I was holding on to the chair I was sitting in and just crying. OMG, it was so bad. My insides where gurgling and making all kinds of weird noises. I will never drink or eat to fast again! I swear it! kelley

Hi Kelley! It was the NSA CIB. I did the same thing as you, drank too much too fast. I usually just do 4 ounces at a time but I was behind on my protein and wanted to go to bed so I downed 8 ounces as quickly as I could and it was NOT a good thing. Won't do it again either!

Carrie, it is great to hear from you again. Please take it easy and relax. Do not put yourself in that hospital again Just keep us updated so we don't all hunt you down and find out what is going on.

HI, Im sorry that happened to you. I guess its one of the things this surgery tool does for us, but man, its sure not fun. What is CIB? I think we need a reference page for all these abreviations. Good luck, and I hope you feel better. -Donna

Carnation Instant Breakfast = CIB

Carrie, I was worried about you. Glad to hear you're home and not in the hospital again. Gotta hate the dumping! I dumped last night eating a slice of deli turkey. I had almost finished eating, had two little bites left and I started feeling full. Instead of stopping eating, I finished the turkey and that was too much! I dumped. I should have stopped eating immediately when I started feeling full. Live and learn. Karen L.
