So I just had a pudding cup, 3.25oz to be exact. I wasn't even to the garbage to throw it away yet when I got sweaty, my stomach started rumbling, and I had a little bit of reflux. What happened? Anyone else have this happen to them?

When did you have surgery? Was it a sugar-free pudding cup? Have you tried the pudding before with no ill effect? Do you take a PPI once or twice a day?

It took me about 5 weeks before I could eat an entire sugar-free pudding cup by myself. I always limited myself to 1/2 a cup and gave the rest to my husband or son to finish.

Did you have a lot to drink before it or did you have something to eat prior to this?

Maybe limit yourself to 1/2 a cup next time if it is sugar-free and take your time with it.

I have had the sweaty nauseated feeling before and I know what you are talking about, I got it when I tried to eat a turkey meatball, that was 99% fat free, and was so dry it made me ill.

That was your body reacting to the sugar! Try to avoid sugar at all cost. It will get better for you. :)

I'm a week post-op and I'm on a PPI. I had two bites of it the other day too and nothing happened. It's not sugar free but I've been eating other things that have sugar in them and they haven't bothered me. I think I ate too much, but I didn't get a full feeling, I never do.

It's almost like dumping. We're not technically supposed to experience dumping syndrome, but we do after a fashion. I've done it myself. Something with too much sugar or too much fat, or eaten to fast, or a combination of those will cause it. You feel like you want to barf, but don't usually, but usually will end up running to the bathroom with the runs, sweaty feeling, like you said... very unpleasant.

Yeah I think it's because I ate too much of it because I had it the other day and it didn't bother me.

You won't get the "full" feeling for a few weeks. That's why we have to measure our food. Your body is stil adjusting to the surgery and rhe receptors that give you the signal that you are full are still trying to figure out whats going on. It's very easy to over eat early on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
