Would you call this dumping?
Ok I was under the impression that as a VSG'r dumping wouldn't be a possibility, but I've had three experiences now that lead me to believe otherwise.
My first experience was when I had been eating something early on out in my soft food stage and I felt like I had something stuck a bit cuz there was a tightness (little did I know at the time that was my symptom of fullness.. a tightness in my chest) so I took a small sip of water, to help and immediately felt nauseated and my mouth got all watery. I ran to the bathroom as it felt like throwing up was inevitable but I ended up just sitting and spitting for a bit then I felt ok.
When it's happend the other times its been cuz I've eaten too fast, once I was sitting on the computer while eating half of a grilled chick burg (just the meat part) but I was eating it like finger food and and wasn't mindful of how quick I was eating it, so I think I missed those full signals til I got that extra couple bites in.. I know now that even one bite after the signals causes discomfort.
Then again tonight I was eating a taco and I felt kind of full so I rested a bit talking to my 5 yr old son watching him eat his third LOL I had such a small amount left on my plate and it tasted soo good that I thought oh I've waited a bit I can prob eat that now.. NOPE! Run to the bathroom again salivating like mad and feeling terrible. Nothing has ever come up but it sure felt like it would.

NOPE....NOT DUMPING...NOT EVEN CLOSE!
May just need to take a step back in time....did you recently change up yer diet? ya know our INFAMOUS PROGRESSIVE TEXTURE DIETS!
STAGES to promote healing each 1-2 weeks ???
1. clears (some not all),
2. full protein liquids,
3. mushies/purees,
4. soft foods
5. regular
Maybe hang out in your previous stage a few days-week or two more....this ain't a ONE SIZE FITS ALL SURGERY!! YOU gotta go at YOUR BODY's PACE, not yer heads, not some VSG diet manuals, or what others here think ya outta! Slow is OK!
Oh and YES VSGrs... CAN and DO DUMP....its just so very uncommon (So UNCOMMON...you more than likely will NEVER see a study/STAT on the incidence of it!) and ...MAJORITY of surgeons STILL tell their pts...there is no incidence of it
.they're a changin tho last few years.......and reportin it MORE FREQUENTLY on their websites/brochures/comparison charts of the surgeries..... especially the better VSG surgeons... as they amend it to.......DUMPING IS "MINIMAL"
Oh and yeah...I DID have DUMPING!! lolol ..2, 4, and 5.5 months out...then NEVER AGAIN! the VETs told ME too I didn't have it! There was no such thing in VSG too!........lmao!! Hence my blog on DUMPING in VSG!
