Clammy, sweaty and energy drop after eating



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and just over the last couple of days, each time I eat a meal (well balanced/appropriate size) within minutes I start to get clammy and sweat and my mood/energy levels take an immediate nose dive. I can only think it has something to do with my blood sugar levels. I was not diabetic prior to surgery. Does anyone know what this is caused by or has anyone else experienced the same thing?

I get like that, along with other symptoms from stuff containing sugar. I never had an issue with sugar before surgery but now i am extremely sensitive to it. I have to check everything for hidden sugar.

I have also heard of people feeling like that from eating too fast.

Thank you for your advice! I spoke with my doctor today and he has told me that it's dumping syndrome. So I need to pay very close attention to what I'm eating. (hidden refined sugars & Carbs)

Do you remember what you ate that made you feel that way?

One time I ate potato so that would explain it and another time I had refried Beans & cheese, so I can't really explain that one. I guess I will just have to make a note if it happens again and see if there is a trend. It may also have to do with eating too fast as niki mentioned.

I get that with too much sugar as well. But for me, it has to be very sweet ( ie Desserts, cosmo)

Eating too fast and eating one spoon too much usually gives u those symptoms... Chew well, helps u get a reasonable amount of food in, eat slowly and pay attention as u eat - and stop before u feel full. The last one is hardest for me of i am enjoying the food :-((((

The eating slowly is killing me! I try so hard but it's so time consuming and so boring. I am managing 15 minute meals and 15 times chewing, but my doctor told me today that I should be doing 30 of both Aghhhhhh

yep. I also get that when eating something high in sugar. I think it could be like our version of dumping syndrome is what I was told. I get clammy, hot, feel sick...last time was after I ate some chocolate!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
