I have twins and this morning I made them pancakes for breakfast. My son likes them with banana and Nutella (fine choice if you ask me) and my daughter likes the old fashioned lemon juice and sugar.
So I had just squeezed the lemon on her pancake and dipped a wet teaspoon into the sugar jar and sprinkled her pancake. Without even thinking I popped the sugar coated teaspoon into my mouth, and then thought, "Oh no, what did I just do!"
Here's what happened......
Within 10 minutes my stomach went into spasm and I felt like vomiting, although as it was empty, I just retched. The discomfort then traveled down into my belly and I started to feel quite unwell. I then started having cold sweats and hot flushes. And within 30 minutes I had to find a toilet with quite some degree of urgency.
After about an hour I started to perk up again.
Oh boy, I don't want to repeat that again!
I read that it's rare for sleeved patients to suffer from dumping syndrome, but not unheard of.
