Almost Passed Out!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so not been well all week, but on the mend, and this morning one of my kids opened some chocolates but left one, and I thought ah what the hell?

So I ate one chocolate and sat down with my Protein drink for Breakfast, but within 10 minutes I am horribly faint and nauseous and having a hot sweat, thought I was actually going to pass out if I moved at all. An hour on I was back to normal, but it took a while to settle down.

So I pondered the possible causes, and figure I am either reacting badly to the little bit of chocolate I have had, or to the fact I am generally not eating a great ammount.

On an average day I manage 1/2 tin of Soup at lunch, and either a small omlette, 3/4 of a chicken breast, or another Soup for tea, and a couple of low fat mini baby bell as Snacks during the day.

I'm also really struggling to get more than about 2 pints of Fluid in during the day and I am sipping constantly.

Thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks

I found sugar to be hard to tolerate the first few months after the surgery. If I tried to eat an entire candybar now, I'd probably get the same symptoms, although at this point I can have 2-3 pieces of chocolate.< /p>

Yes I definitely was getting this same reaction first out when I'd even have a bite of candy or something really sweet. I have to admit - it's keeping me away from the stuff for the most part. I do have sweets once in awhile but it sure isn't much and when I do its few and far between.

I also get nauseated off of chips and popcorn - it just makes me feel so yucky and sick. I'm also severely lactose intolerant, so along with my sugar issues, it's keeping me away from ice cream.

YAY I LOOOOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Irene,

If my sleeve gave me that type of reaction with sweets, chips and ice cream, I would consider the whole surgery a success!! I should only be so lucky!:rolleyes:

Hey Lucille, I hope so! I actually know I'm super rare with this, so I can't say. In fact I really don't even know of anyone else this has happened to. It's a fact though, ALL junk food makes me nauseated or dumping. No wonder I'm losing as fast as I am. LOL!!! Lap band and sleeve - for me is like day and night. ;-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
