Dumping Syndrome

Dumping Syndrome - Horrible name. There is a reason for it.  It is an absolute horrible experience!

Dumping Syndrome is when your body doesn't like what it has taken in for some reason and tries to dump it out by whatever means possible. With it are included a host of other wonderful things that happen as well, such as dizziness, excessive sweating and vomiting.

Dumping Syndrome is something I wanted to avoid at all costs.  I HATE feeling sick to my stomach!! There was no way I was going to put something in my body that would cause that to happen. I wouldn't even take a drink of Paul's watered down Kool-aid just in case the sugar content would bother me.

When you have weight loss surgery if you eat too much fat or sugars your body dumps it out, as explained above.  Well, my refried beans with a small amount of cheese and a dab of light sour cream, must have fit that bill.  About two hours after dinner last night my body rebelled!  All of a sudden I started to not feel good and it didn't take long for everything to follow.Like one minute to follow.  BLECH!!

There wasn't anything to do, but ride it out.  What a horrible, horrible experience.  I would love to say that will never happen again, but this is a live and learn process and I am in control only to a certain degree.  I am not sure what will set my body off or what it's limits are right now.  I am not sure what part of my half cup of dinner that didn't sit well whether it be the refried beans, the cheese, the sour cream or the combination of all three.  I do know I won't be eating them together again I can tell you that.  Too rich for my blood and definitely NOT an experience worth repeating.
