I think dumped...

Yes, I think I dumped on building blocks vitamins... I find it odd, but it was either that or the crystal light that I have been drinking since surgery. I am waiting for conformation from my surgeon, to see if he thinks it was dunping also.  I didnt throw up or get he runs but i was really nausiated and had to laydown and curl up in a ball. Anyone else had this happen(from building blocks vites)? do you all think it was dunping?

Sara,

I have had dumping before, but mine was more like I was having a heart attack! OMG! It hurt so bad. I hope it doesn't happen again for you! Best of luck!

Ive experienced dumping too.... I am hyper-sensitive to sugar.  Felt part anxiety attack (cold sweats and buggy eyes) part icee headache... lasted about 30 minutes.  Also dumped on salmon and fish, but that made me vomit.  Actually prefer that because its over quickly.  Thank goodness it hasn't happened recently, though.  Its certainly never fun no matter what the cir****tances.  Check the vitamin label for sugar.  I can only take chewable or meltaway type pills or vitamins in a sorbitol base and its sometimes hard to find.  Im constantly amazed at how much sugar is hidden in our food and where you least expect it.  Good luck to you and I hope you feel better!

Alot of folks have problems with vitamins, especially if you take them on an empty stomach.  Try taking them after you have breakfast when your pouch still has something in ti.

You could also have dumped on Crystal Light.  Some folks have issues with that. 

Finally, what you dumped on today, you may not dump on tomorrow and then 3 years from now you may dump on it again.  Refrigerator Roulette is the name of the game with WLS.  Try the vitamins one day and see what happens.  If no ill effects,  have your Crystal Lite and see if that makes you dump.  If neither one does, then chalk it up to the fact that it happened on that one particular day and may or may not ever happen again.

I dont have problems taking vitamins on an empty stomach, and Id eaten about 45 mins before i took the vites, I also drank crystal light the rest of the day without problems. I think it had all to do with the vitamins. I am aware of refrigerator roulette, and I do not look foreward to the expierence.

I am trying to confirm with my dr if he thinks it was dumping or what.

So my doctor thinks something got stuck... I dont know what could have gotton stuck. the only things i had were the chewable vitamins that i chewed super well, jello, and crystal light. however he is the doctor and I will go with what he thinks. So I did not dump, something got stuck.

I have been looking for this post but lost it somehow. I am glad that you didn't dump on the vitamins. I am preop and I believe that those vitamins are going to be the best fit for me. So did you try them pre-op?? If so how have the taste of them changed to you??

Well I hope that you are doing well and keep up all of your good work.
