Anyone have dumping syndrome post esophagectomy?

My episodes have all had to do with kinds or amounts of food. They're now mild, beginning with weakness, followed by sweating. I lie down for 30-60 minutes, sometimes falling asleep, until it passes.

Hi, I am 11 months post esophagectomy. I have the same issues with the kinds and amounts of food. Also feel the same, weakness, sweating and the need to lie down. It happens when it wants to and lasts as long as it wants to. I have discovered that I can’t eat red meat ( never did like or eat it much before). Also I stay away from red sauces, leafy greens and most meats. I am very careful as to how much and when I eat. Never eat 2-3 hours before bed. I wish everyone the absolute best. This is definitely a tough surgery to overcome!
