Man what a week..

I planned on going to the Bay city meeting Weds. Until I ate dinner and then dumped...and I am getting at the end of this semester at college and it is getting stressful. I have 1 semester left and then I graduate...Talk about stress....But I have a question Can stress make you dump? Ohh yeah and since I have had surgery and came home I still have no urge to urinate....Is that normal? The dr. said that some people have this problem and it will go away.....I guess I just have to make a mental note to use the restroom......I have not posted or talked to anyone on here but wanted to let you all know I am still alive.....lol....

Hi Crystal, Stress and dumping I've not heard of, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. Stress can cause lots of problems. As far as not urinating....have you been getting alot of fluids in? Haven't heard of trouble with urge to urinate before, but then again, stranger things have happened! Sorry I'm of no help, but hope you feel better soon! Theresa

Crystal ! I swear to you I was just popping on to send you a message. I have been worried about, haven't seen you around in awhile. I hope things are well for you. Sorry about your dumping incident ! Obviously I have no advice for you since I haven't had surgery.... YET. But just know your in my thoughts and prayers. Btw, 10 more sleeps for me. I would still love to hear about your experience, any advice would be so greatly appreciated ! So if you get a second, if not I completely understand your swamped ! Take care ! Keep up the great work ! ~~Rona

hey you I sent you an e-mail too... try walking off the stress a bit....I have not had any dumping yet,,, I am still gently doing purees. I am getting in all my proteina nd water though what about you? I also don't have the urge to pee.... hmmm funny huh.. before I would almost pee in my pants...hmmmm rather have this....LOL Glad you are still alive I hope you have a restful weekend...

technically dumping is short for sugar dumping which is a process our bodies go through when they get too much sugar, similar to a hyperglycemic event. so no, stress can't cause sugar dumping. but it can cause a lot of the same symptoms! vomiting isn't what we mean by dumping although you'd think dumping is a good word for it. for newbies almost anything can cause vomiting. the wrong food, eating too quickly, eating with water, not chewing enough, etc. eating causes vomiting. lol.

Crystal, When I was pre-op, I had problems with diarrhea. I went to a gastroenterologist and he told me that stress can cause diarrhea.

glad to see u back..i will know more about what you are experiencing after 3 more sleeps. Yep, I am up to the plate Mon 4/23..Seems like its been forever waiting. Say some prayers for me all day, cause not sure what time my surgery will be. Hope your symptoms clear up. With all the stressing I have been doing, I will look forward to the answers u get.. Good luck Crystal.. Pam-busdriver

Crystal, I swear I was going to ask the same question about urinating last night, I was just too tired! I went all day yesterday, drank my 64 oz, and at about 10 pm thought, "wow, I dont think I've peed today....that's kind of weird..." I don't know how many other people this has happened to, but at least you aren't alone. As for the stress......good luck. Was this the first time since you've been home that you were nauseated? I've had it happen twice, and both times I know it was from eating.....er....drinking too fast.

You were missed !!!!!!! hope ya feel better soon !!!!!!!
