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?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
