Dumped this morning. What do you eat after an episode has passed?

I don't dump often, but when I do, it is when my "system" is empty first thing in the morning and something hits me wrong.  I take an antidepressant that says take with food, so I usually just grab a bite of this or that, not ready for a meal first thing in the morning.  This morning I took it with a spoon of Jiff, and it made me dump.  Hard.  I am finally feeling human again and was wondering what to eat for breakfast.  Nothing really sounds good. 

What do the other "dumpers" do after a dump?

Hi,

I haven't experienced dumping (yet!) and can't offer any help there...but I'm wondering if you can take your antidepressant a little later in the day when your pouch is more ready?  Maybe midday instead of first thing?

Hope you find the answer...

I was told to take my anti depressant in the middle of the night... it works for me.. I just do it when I get up to go potty in the middle of the night. however I will say this... since I have had surgery I don't drink as much water as I did so I have skipped a few nights just because I didn't need to get up.. hmmm just a thought.. works for me.

Try and stay with bland soft food - I think most anti-depressants can be held until later in the day - so you eat with lunch instead of breakfast.  Maybe oatmeal would be good.

I don't have any dumping advice, but I do have a suggestion for your antidepressant. I take mine, and another whole handful of pills with my morning protein shake. Ask your doctor, sometimes "Take with Food" isn't  always literal, sometimes just milk will suffice when you see that instruction.

 I don't dump often, but when I do, I find that protein helps me get over the icky feeling.   Second the suggestions to take your meds at a different time of day, or find something small to eat first thing in the AM with the med-
