Does anyone else get super lightheaded when they eat ice cream or anything sugary? The other day we treated ourselves to a banana split and after about 2 spoons I just got completely dizzy and lightheaded. I felt so sick and had to lay in bed for a bit. I didn't feel full and didn't overeat, so I'm guessing it was just the large amount of sugar in there.... Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

Everyone has to draw their own conclusions on their body's reactions to food choices, if it makes you feel like crap then stop eating it. Was it on a fairly empty stomach? Ice cream liquifies and enters the blood stream quickly enough in non-altered insides and the logic is it would be quicker in altered stomachs, yes?

It was about an hour or two after dinner... I knew it had something to do with my new stomach but wasn't sure if anyone else was experiencing this. I've had ice cream before and I've been fine, I guess it's kind of a hit or miss thing. I sometimes get this feeling with certain Protein shakes... I'll just keep having to experiment and figure it all out :( I sometimes forget how sensitive our new stomachs can be

if you have purged yourself of sugar since october then i am sure you will have a strong reaction, especially with something as sugar and carb laden as ice cream.

      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.
