Uh Oh dumped?

I think I just had my first bout with dumping.  I made hamburgers and brussels sprouts and cottage cheese for dinner.  I ate a bite of hamburg and then looked down and three out of my 4 brussel sprouts were gone and I was feeling a pressure like pain between my ribs.  They my salivary glands started juicing so I went to the john.  Yup, first time I threw up since surgery.  I felt much better after, but decided to just eat the cottage cheese.  I still feel fine so I think it was the brussel sprouts that did it.  I had cubed steak yesterday and didn't get sick.  I think I just ate entirely too fast, my son was over and he said, you can't compete with us anymore Mom.  Not that I ever could.
I have to admit, it wasn't really that awful.
Another first for me!

Yeah, I think you answered your own question. Sounds to me like you put too much in there. Think of a funnel. You pour too much in and it gonna overflow!

Hope you're better

jan...when i was first able to eat solids; i would sit at the dinner table with hubby and my son, his gf and their baby- the stress would make me sick every nite even if i didn't eat too much or too fast- usually the foamies- soem days i got lucky and the food would come up--

it's all touch and go--

glad you are feelin better now!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

 WOW girl,   I'm surprised you can eat such heavy foods so early out.   I get the foamies just reading what you ate.  I still have some difficulty with heavy foods.  Be careful, getting sick is no fun.

I am really surprised you are eating so much food so soon, but every doctor is different. I still would take it easy if I were you. And eat really slowly, chew, chew, chew, 30-40 times every thing you eat.

It sounds more like you overate than dumped.  Dumping involves heart palpatations, light headedness, and extreme fatigue and almost passing out.  It can accompany vomitting but always when I dump, I need to lie down for a long, long time.  

Now, when I overeat, I do get the mucus and watery mouth and up it comes.  I do that often.  In spite of being so far out, I still either eat too much, too fast, or the wrong types of food and up she blows.  In fact, I keep walmart sacks in my purse, beside my bed, and in my office for that very reason. 

Glad you are better.  I agree, you are really doing a lot early.  I was still on full liquids at your stage, but every doctor is different.

You are less than 3 weeks out and already eating meat? Wow.  My doc wouldn't allow that for 6 weeks.  Extended liquid diet for the first week or so, then mushy food.  Meat had to go through the blender (The Bullet). 

Sorry you had to experience it, but it will not be the last time.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
