Not a fairy tale, but a true story.
I still don't know what hit me.
I am 18 months out now.
Yesterday I had my mid afternoon snack (a protein bar) and about one hour later I decided I wanted to eat an apple.
No problems there.
I took small bites, I chewed well and all was fine.
Until... 30 minutes after I finished eating the apple.
I know that technically we cannot have a dumping.
But oh boy, this was a full size one!
Cold sweats, I felt like passing out, became very nauseous and had to lay down.
I still had no idea what hit me, until I had the toad froth (thanks Annie, that word makes it so much clearer!).
I have laid in my bed for about 1,5 hour.
After that I was fine.
Dinner was not a problem, that went down well.
I did not expect this to happen after so long and I still have no idea why this happened.
I had an episode like this a couple of months after the surgery, but there it was clear I ate way too fast.
Not this time though, at least I think...
I sure hope this won't happen again.
Beware of the apple and the toad!
