Hot flashes/cold sweats

[jmscout6 27]

Hi! I'm a week post op and after drinking some Protein shake... I had a hot flash and broke out in a cold sweat... Does this happen if you drink too fast?-

It happens to me when I drink or eat something that has too much sugar. It used to happen a lot right after surgery when I either ate too quickly or ate something that had too much fat or sugar in it, however now at 15 months post-op, the hotflash thing, which for me also includes an increased heart rate and kind of a fluttery feeling, only happens when I eat something with more sugar than my sleeve likes. It goes away in about 20 minutes, followed by feeling really cold, which is potentially the result of the fact that I get sweaty and then my skin is damp, which then makes me cold. It is unpleasant, but not something to be concerned about.

This is exactly what is happening to me. If I drink a few sips of a Protein drink, I turn hot and "stuffed up." I'm paranoid to drink anything other than Water but I need to!
