Dizziness and sweating after food!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm 2 and half months post surgery and I've noticed sometimes after having a meal, I feel a little dizzy and I start to sweat. This lasts for a good hour or so?! My whole body changes and I feel uncomfortable. Anyone else experience this??

Thanks

I feel very tired suddenly after I eat.

Don't forget we had major surgery.

Sounds like dumping. Try slowing down and take smaller bites.

I feel that way if what I am eating has a lot of carbs/sugar. And I get that tired feeling if I eat too much now.

I was told that VGS don't get dumping syndrome but I had a bit too much of a sugary thing and I was miserable for an hour. Nauseas, feel like I can't move, something feels really wrong, I have to lie down. Then it goes away. It's happened 3 times since my 10/10/16 surgery.

My dr says that VSGrs definitely dump! I haven't experienced it yet because I am only 3 weeks out, but it was discussed in my pre op classes!

My NUT said some Sleevers dump and I happen to be one of them. Sugar doesn't seem to bother me but rich fatty foods do. Basically leaves me miserable for about an hour. I'm still mourning bacon!

That happens to me if I overeat or have too many carbs. It feels very flu like and miserable. Does it happen only when you eat certain things?

I heard that about 13% of vsg patients experience dumping syndrome. So yes it can happen, but it isn't something that all vsg patients experience.

Do you have any pain? The only time I have felt this was when I drank a diet lemonade 3 weeks post op and it hurt and I felt awful...I am avoiding citrus since

Sleevers can have a version of dumping. That is for sure! For me it really only happens if I eat something high in sugar and milk at the same time, like a milk shake or rich ice cream. I don't recommend eating those things frequently if you are a sleever anyway, since they are a good way to get in a lot of calories without restriction!

      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.
