Still Dumping

[FCPIII]

I’m still dumping almost 4 years after gastric bypass. My dumping symptom is 100 % nausea. I can relieve it w zoffran but it happens almost daily. I eat small amounts but I guess still too much. I can’t keep any weight on as I’m way underweight. Go figure. I went from XXL to small. It’s miserable. Anyone else?

Hi -

In January I'll be 3 years post-op. Like you - I'm underweight. There are still some foods I stay away from.

I've had people I haven't seen in years come up and tell my husband that he needs to buy me a burger and milkshake every day because I'm too skinny. Life happens and there are times that no matter whats going on - I can't eat.

My husband went through multiple bypass surgery - I stayed with him in the hospital. My kids would call me every day to remind me to eat. Eating, drinking just wasn't my focus. My girls would come at various time through the day to visit and they ALWAYS brought me food and stuff to drink. Being underweight is just as bad as being overweight. Sounds like we both need to get a grip on this before it really kicks our asses.

Good luck to you both!

How many times are you eating per day? Maybe break up your meals into more, smaller meals? Honestly, I don't have too many issues but heavier foods can make me nauseous. Have you tried cooking your proteins in a slow cooker? I find slow cooked meats much easier to digest. I also usually replace ground beef with ground turkey.
