I just lay down for about 20 minutes.  That's all it takes for it to pass with me.

I am perfectly content being perfectly UN-perfect

dumping is what happens after you eat sugar or high fats.  I don't think what you have is dumping.

How post op are you?

if you are still on liquids and chewing and not drinking, its probably happening cause your eating to much.

Dumping cause of:
eating to fast
eating to much
drinking while eating
not chewing well
to much sugar in food
to many whites (bread, gravey ect...)
to much grease

Maybe, maybe not.  They really don't know what causes it other than the sphincter that releases digested foods is gone and nothing is there to stop everything from going at once.  After six years, I couldn't tell you why I dump, or how to stop it.  Drinking while eating - bunch of hooey.  They tell you not to drink to try to slow so the food moves into the intestine slower.  Liquids just move the food faster. It's the same food that's going to get there whether it's sooner or later.  Eating too fast?  Really?  I don't know how long you've been post-op but there's no way you can eat too fast after an RNY - ever again.  Try it some time.  Nothiing's getting into that stomach pouch and you'll feel it in your esophagus immediately as your throat tries to form enough lubricant to make whatever is stuck move.  Accompanied by dumping syndrome you have the perfect storm for being miserable.  Eating too much?  Honey, that's not possible either. I'm not saying you can't get it in, it's just not going to stay there.  if you eat too much it will come right back up and you'll see it again.  Too much sugar, too much fat, too many carbs, too much grease?  I haven't had greasy food in 6 years, so cross that off.  Not chewing well only leads to eating too fast and see the above for when food gets stuck.  Every body is individual, there are no simple lists of why things happen, only speculation.  JMHO

I must not be understand correctly. If you are on full liquids, how is it that you are chewing? I think DisneyLover is right, I don't think what you are experiencing is dumping. But it does sound like either something doesn't agree with your pouch or there is something else going on. You must be early out if you are on full liquids. If you have severe abdominal pain, you should call your surgeon.

I am 2 wks post op. I ate 2 oz of oatmeal this morning that was listed as full liquid with equal sweetner. I had stomach stapled 17 yrs ago. Because of chronic vomiting due the ring being sideways instead of vertical, surgeon revised with rny procedure. This is new to me and didn't know if I should cut out diary completely. Nurse I spoke to thinks I need to have bm. I'm fine in the dept.

If you have pain, you need to be seen.  It hurts.  Pain is pain for a reason.  If you are "fine in that dept", call the surgeon's office back or go to the ER.
