It's the fever.....dumping feels just like the flu to me but I don't get a fever. When I'm sick I feel it in my skin, exhausted in a different way. I don't get sick like I did before surgery, I think there IS something to the reconfiguring of my plumbing, but I do have intestinal difficulties, if you follow me.
Not chewing or eating something that gets stuck feels very different to me, there is a certain pain I get that means I didn't chew enough or eat too fast and I am GOING to throw up.
I hope that helps Jiff! You help me so much, I loved that I get the chance to give back to you!
