Reaction To Sugar



Recommended Posts

Today I ate part of two very thin slices of cake (,.5 in) of red velvet cake and a peppermint cheesecake layer cake with white chocolate icing. I know how bad that sounds, but they were tiny pieces, and I didn't each all of either of them. I never crave sweets or eat them much but they were both really good looking and tasting. I've done well up to now, so thought I could judge what I could handle. Kinda got the cold clammy sweats a bit before I threw both up.

Had a similar experience back in the summer with sugary drinks. Is that dumping? Confused this far out, though I have to say my refined sugar intake is next to nothing now. Wondering if the sugar shock was part of it. Anyone with similar experiences?

It could be dumping or it could be gall bladder issues. chowchows had gall bladder issues not so long ago. She suspected dumping initially and she was in a lot of pain towards the end, so see a doc to get it checked out as soon as you can (and I'd ask them if it could be gall bladder related).

Hopefully some of the others will chime in.

I ate a piece of cheesecake AND a piece of red velvet cake these last couple of days and had NO negative side effects other than that kind of sluggish sick feeling from too much sugar which I had prior to the surgery, also. I suspect your body is just not used to all that sugar after eating so well for so long. Although it could also be dumping and/or gall bladder issues, as well, I suppose.

Now that I am am past the gallbladder issues I can eat anything I want without any issues. It might not be the sugar, it might be the fat affecting your gallbladder. That's what was going on with me, and at first it only happened with sugary items...as it progressed it was almost anything I ate that bothered me. Hope you get it figured out and that it ISN'T GB issues!

      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.
