Dumping Syndrome is mostly associated with malabsorptive gastric surgery, specifically gastric bypass surgery. Patients will experience the symptoms of dumping syndrome soon after eating or within three hours of eating. The symptoms might include nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, profuse sweating followed by chills, fatigue, and dizziness. When insulin levels go back to normal symptoms subside.

Many patients experiencing dumping syndrome find comfort in lying down or sipping fortified water or energy beverages offered at warm temp. Clearly a bout of dumping syndrome will disrupt any celebration and most weight reduction surgery patients will benefit from taking safety measures to avoid this occurrence. Hydration. Drinking lots of water is the next sacred guideline of weight-reduction surgery. This is of keen importance through the hot summer months when bodies release more liquid through perspiration thus becoming vulnerable to dehydration.
On warm days filled up with outdoor activity be careful to sip water each day. As a guideline drink one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight to ensure proper hydration. Vitamin fortified drinking water or non-calorie sports drinks fortified to balance electrolytes may be loved as well to prevent hydration.
The symptoms of dehydration often feel like mild dumping symptoms, and some weight loss surgery patients record a higher probability of dumping symptoms when they aren’t properly hydrated. Protein First. It is especially important to follow the first guideline of weight-loss surgery, “Protein First” when partaking from a range of party foods including barbecue, picnic sides, and salads, and bountiful sweets. Eating proteins will buffer foods that may result in a dumping show first. Be wary of barbecue sauces which may be high in sugar or breaded and fried protein which is also known to cause dumping. If fried chicken is the only protein offered remove and dispose of your skin and breading and enjoy the meat without it.
Remember to consume two bites of protein to everyone bite of complicated carbohydrate. When taking small bites of protein three forks will measure about one ounce of proteins. The tight feeling in the gastric surgical pouch is an indicator of fullness and the signal to stop eating. Avoid pain by following this signal and stop eating. Taste Wisely. Celebrations tend to be a showcase for friends and relationships to share their finest dishes including gorgeous calorie and unwanted fat-laden desserts. Who has not been lured by the display of outrageous desserts at the annual family reunion?
For the weight loss surgery patient unchecked enjoyment of such foods will probably cause dumping symptoms for a while and, in the worst case, putting on weight over time. Contribute Good Food. When the occasion allows take the opportunity to give a weight-loss surgery-friendly side dish or dessert that you can securely enjoy and more may enjoy as well.
