almost fainted



Recommended Posts

*I posted this in another forum area, but thought I'd try here for some responses* (sorry for the double, but I'm just curiuos if anyone else has experienced this)

I was sleeved about 2 1/2 months ago and for the most part, things are going really well.

However....

I've had two episodes since surgery where I've nearly fainted shorty after eating. The first time it happened, I definitely can say I had a good amount to eat (mostly eggs, a piece of bacon and a couple bites of toast). I didn't think much of it until it happened again this weekend. All I had was some Soup (clear broth) and maybe 2 oz of chicken. Shortly after eating I got really clammy, nauseous and light headed. I felt like I was going to pass out, so I sat down and put my head down by my knees until the feeling passed. I went really pale and got very sweaty. Totally weird.

Has this happened to anyone else and/or does anyone have any thoughts to what might be happening? Maybe I ate too fast? Too much? What's going on?!

I have a call into my doctor, but I wanted to see if anyone out there can give me some insight.

Thanks in advance!

I think it might be dumping Sx, I got it once, after drinking a Peanut Butter Protein Drink that was a bit to sweet, I didn't faint, just felt clammy, sweaty, dizzy, tachicardic, had to lie down and fell asleep for about 10-15 minutes.
