Not feeling well after eating



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 2 weeks ago. The last two days when I eat I get dizzy sweaty and feel awful about 10 min after. Then I layed down and couldn’t wake up for 2 hr. My blood sugar is ok. Does anyone know what causes this and what to do

Your blood is diverted to your stomach to help with digestion, lessened blood flow to the brain gives you these symptoms. Your body will take a while to get this functions sorted out.

It sounds like dumping. Is there a particular type of food that seems to trigger it? Are you drinking with your meals?

I havent had my RNY yet so I can’t help you with how to deal with an episode but I am keen on what other people do that helps.

This sounds EXACTLY like dumping.

What did you eat? Do you know how much sugar was in the food? At 2 weeks out you should be on purees still.

It was mashed potatoes and purée pork. I thought dumping doesn’t occur with sleeve..? Does this improve or Ian there anything that can help.

Pork is notorious for upsetting gall bladders and other digestive
areas. My Daddy used to call Pork broth "Devil Broth" for that reason. Do you by chance still have YOUR gall bladder?

      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.
