Hi Mark.
I think if your staples came undone, and let's say your food is been emptied into your stomach cavery, you will start feeling ill fairly soon.
If you drink some water, do you feel real cold in your stomach? I hear that is a sign you have a leak.
About not feeling hungry, it was weeks before I felt a bit hungry, and even then I only have felt hungry three or four times, and not in the way I used to before, is more of a weak anxious feeling, probably from low blood sugar.
About dumping, I haven't dumped, I did get sick once and had nothing to do with what I ate, was more from a headache I got from some smoke of my enighbors burning something they shouldn't in their brush pile (plastic it smelled like). About the full feeling, took me some time to know how full felt, because it is different then prior to surgery when I used to overstuff my self with too much food. One thing I did felt, was like a knot on my stomach, mainly because I think it was still healing, I don't feel that no more thank God.
You are just two weeks out, I say is a bit soon to start testing see what is wrong or not. I do recomend you bring all your concerns to the doctor, and don't push your pouch. Things like Lettuce and such I was told not to try until 6 weeks out. Some people have a hard time tolerating that even then so they leave it for later, so far, I can tolerate all green/raw vegetables, etc.
Not sure if I made sence, but hope it helped some.
