How long do you feel shaky after a dumping episode?
For me the only comforting thing is knowing that after about 1/2 an hour the worse is over. The only time I don't feel good for a long time is if I have thrown up a lot. Then I may feel bad the next day. I usually just eat light that day and by the evening I am fine.

Early after surgery I felt awful for hours on a mild dump. I don't dump
easily nor badly, but if I do on occasion, it's now for about 20 minutes.
If you're light-headed, you might also want to check your blood sugar.
If you had carbs and/or sugar that caused you to dump, you might
actually be feeling RH (reactive hypoglycemia). Try eating protein
and see if it helps. I've only had 2 episodes of RH. The first one had
me spiraling for hours and hours until I got it under control with small
bits of protein spaced out every 15-20 minutesl. Good luck! I hope
you feel better soon!
