I Find That I Get Lightheaded When I Go To The Grocery Store.



Recommended Posts

I thought I would write to share an experiance I have been having. I find that I have gone to the store a few times since surgery and get lightheaded/head ache in the store. I spoke to the Dr about is and also the pshy. The shrink laughed and said that it is a reaction based off of how I used to shop. Anything and everything I wanted went in the cart and I would eat and eat till I had satisfied any craving I had or I developed while in the store. I would sometimes have a 8 course meal to accomplish all of the things I bought. 1st chips and dip, then a little potatoe salad you ge the idea.

What I find the last few times is that I am spending a higher dollar for food and buying a lot less. Perhaps because I am buying in the early stages but none the less.

I went to a restaurant for my sisters B-day last week and ate the broth off of a bowl of Soup and found that I did not have the same reaction at the restaurant, I was fine. Except for the onion rings and patty melt my sister ate...b***h! (Kidding)

Well I thought I would share this and see if anyone else has had a similar experiance and what they did about it.

      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?
