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!

      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.
