Hiatal hernia surgery

I had my surgery on November 15, 2016 it relieved all symptoms of gerd and pain I was having but now I have severe dumping symptoms I almost have no warning. I don't get sick from eating anymore but I am not sleeping well as I wake up in the middle of the night running to the bathroom or it's already to late and I am taking a shower. My doctor has me taking benefiber probiotics and still taking acid reflux medicine has not helped. Still eating restricted diet. Will this ever stop. Thank God I am retired there is no way I could work. I am 69 with no other health problems this is really ruining my retirement. Has anyone went through this and eventually got back to normal. I had no choice about the surgery my hernia was huge and the surgery itself was the easy part.

Yes, but as aero1 says - it takes time. You're very early in your recovery, but two things really helped me. Limit your sugar intake, sometimes when we try and modify our diets to softer foods we consume too much sugar. Sweetened drinks, desserts and candy can cause dumping as well as dairy products. Try multiple smaller meals and limit your fluid intake to small sips with it. Too much fluid tends to push the food through your system too quickly. You should wait to have your liquids 45 minutes to an hour before or after meals. I started to feel better by about 6-months. I was at my "new" normal around 1 year.
