The hot flashes have been happening to me several times a day ever since surgery. I don't feel nauseous though. I thought maybe I was going through menopause.

Exactly what @@eal098 just said. If I eat the wrong thing, I get hot and sweaty and a bit nauseous. And that is one flavor of dumping syndrome!!! lol. It doesn't happen with all wrong foods, but it is kind of random so it's hard to find a pattern but if you follow the plan, you shouldn't have to deal with it much.

That's what has me worried because it happens when i not eating so it can't be from dumping.

I have read that some people have delayed dumping, where the feeling happens an hour or more after eating. have no idea for sure.

I'm 12 yrs post op. Trust me; you are dumping. Figure out what you ate with in the past 2 hours. Also, did you eat something with natural or other sugar and then exercise a bunch? That can lower the blood sugar fast and give those symptoms. Appreciate it and learn from it.

In viewing your question it seems more like Hypoglycemic episodes than dumping syndrome in my opinion. I don't know if you are going long periods between meals but at least try to drink a Protein shake...some of it. Or eat a yogurt. Take a anti nausea medication before hand. I am 5 months post op and still deal with nausea. My Doctor prescribed Zofran sublingual so it just melts on my tongue. I also have Phenergan a stronger pill for nausea if I need it. I don't know if you are a diabetic but either way please confer with Doctor regarding your symptoms if you have not done so already. Best wishes.

I have severe hot flashes. that started in the last month. Some of it is "dumping" and I think the culprit is "fatty foods". Unfortunately, doesn't seem to take much, I cooked greens with neckbones and bacon for flavoring. I ate the greens and neckbones and had a hot flash.

But I also get them throughout the day unrelated to eating. I check my blood sugar and it is not hypoglycemic. anyone have a suggestion I would be happy to hear them.

I'm experiencing hot flashes more so now than before mainly at night in my sleep and occasionally during the day. I'm guessing mine is my hormones, I had a complete hysterectomy a year ago and finally got straight with the flashes. I'm wondering if the weight and diet change is throwing them off again.

As you lose weight, estrogen (which is stored in fat cells) is released into the circulation. You might be having hot flashes r/t to this increased estrogen/menopausal type symptoms.

Thank you giys for your suggestions and I'm wondering if having a hysterectomy a few years back and this surgery throw my hormones off causing the hot flashes as was suggested earlier.

I know what you're talking about! I will feel nauseous and fatigued randomly in the day :( I also have been eating healthy, so this does not follow eating bad/sugary food. :(

      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.

      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.
