Dumping syndrome is exactly what you would think it is. It's not fun at all. I got to have my first experience with it today and of course I was at work. Convenient huh???!! I happened to drink 3 sips of fairlife chocolate milk. I thought it was a good option as it is lower in sugar and carbohydrates. I was apparently very wrong. About 30 minutes after my 3rd sip I got severe abdominal pain, sweating, nausea and diarrhea. Gross topic I know, but it is something I wanted to share so you can get the full experience of this surgery. I've said before that everything has to be thought about before you eat or drink. So today I have eaten about 5 cubes of jello. This pouch has a mind of its own. Work went well otherwise. I am tired as expected and some left abdominal tenderness. This isn't easy. Not easy at all.
