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?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
