My first dumping

I am 3 weeks out today. It has been a journey to day the least, but I get better everyday.

At 1 week out my surgery up'ed my diet to soft proteins, so I have been sticking to his list of what I can have. Yesterday I went off the list and ate one tb spoon of peanut butter, I thought it would be ok because it was a soft food with high protein.

About an hour later I was dumping. My questions is, I still don't feel that good 24 hours later is that normal? Should I take it easy after dumping (I so hate that term). Will I always dump peanut butter or maybe try it again much later on? Was it the fat in the peanut better that caused the dumping?

It is all so new still.

Typically dumping is fairly dramatic, sweats, pain, nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea. The fat and or sugar in peanut butter could have been indigestible. You can leave it, or make sure the pb you use is no sugar added. Hope you feel better.

Most peanut butter is not that high in sugar (2 -3 g per 2 TB serving). But it is high on fat. My guess is you dumped because of the fat not the sugar.

1. If I dump - it takes me 2-3 days to feel "normal" again. Even now.
2. PB is really dense fat - food. Eventually you will be able to eat it again - most likely.

When I tried PB in a protein shake, OMG I felt horrible for hours. It made me feel so bad that I won't even do shakes anymore. I have been getting my protein via isopure or muscle milk & food. I am 7 weeks out tomorrow. Good luck :-)
