I get migraine like symptoms. Sometimes light sensitivity severe headache ,
super sensitive to sound. Dizzy yes but no noises yet. Also pain in weird
places like shoulder or jaw, Dumping makes me want to curl in a ball and
rock like a baby until it passes and sometimes it takes an hour or more. It
sure keeps me well behaved. Almost 2 yrs post. I even have dumped from
sorbitol , and that was really bad!

Don't be MAD
Be GLAD
You are not to be eating sugars in the first place
this is a tool only
Do you want to regain this weight?

Let it be a warning to YOU
I did not eat anything with sugar for 14 months
I had no cravings
Well not it is back
and I have gained 10 pounds and I am very very scared
I still dump ..but do not dump until I reach a certain amount
of sugar..I am not sure how much sugar makes me dump
I am really trying to cut sugars and carbs
If you want Goal

HOw do I know? First thing is sleepies & dry mouth. I start wanting to
drink water. BAD. Then, the rest, nausea, heart palpitations, cold hands,
cold feet. For me, onset is usually about 15 minutes after the Crime Of
Stupidity on my part and lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the degree of
stupidity. I almost think there IS a warning. I have been known to talk
one of my friends into ordering a Chocolate Lasagne at Olive Garden and
then take eensy bits off the tip. I noticed I can take about 3 eensy bites
(total for all 3 about 1 tsp) and then might feel suddenly that it is
"too rich". When I ignore that feeling, I may as well just go
recline the seat of my car & sleep it off. The ideal is to never even
mess with it, no matter how tiny. Every successful little "play
time", can spell disaster later. At least it did for me.

i know i am going to dump because i get a pain over my left eye like a
headache is going to start. i dump on sugar, too much fat & carbs. my
episodes last about 45 minutes. i havent dumped in about a month because i
watch myself very carefully since i learned what causes me to dump. when i
told my surgeon i dump he said it was common for new post ops to dump
because they dont really know what foods they can tolerate & what they
cant.

I've dumped three times since surgery 7 weeks ago. Each time, it lasted
about an hour and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was fine. During
that hour, though, I had intense nausea, cold sweats, heart palpitations,
etc. I now know I can't eat simple carbs of any kind! Not even baked
pretzels!
