Sounds like hypoglycemia -i had a few episodes like that in thepast,even to the point of throwing up. I could feel the sweat rising up my neck. It sucked. Good luck figuring it out,

Hypoglycaemia? Just a suggestion. I get symptoms very similar to yours when I have an episode plus cold sweats. Does having something to eat or drink help? I find even some Water or a cup of tea can make a difference. I can have them after I’ve been active or after I’ve been in a shoe store trying on shoes.
The most awful episode I experienced was in a cafe during the covid years. Full blown symptoms & the other people in the queue all literally stepped back from me - way back - like backs against the wall. I’m sure they were thinking: Unclean! Unclean! I asked the girl at the counter for some juice. She pointed to a refrigerator over by a far wall which was where a lot of the people had congregated. She wasn’t going to help me either. Dragged myself to their bathroom to sip water from the basin & sit on the toilet to recover. I should have said it wasn’t Covid but hypoglycaemia, like diabetes, & I needed fluids like juice. Maybe someone would have helped me then. Should say I had this before surgery. Just random episodes so nothing new for me.

it's good to have it checked out, although this far out from surgery, the usual culprit is low blood sugar. I started having issues with that at about two years out. I went in for a workup and they tested everything - glucose, blood pressure, ears (it can also be due to an imbalance in your inner ear), even urine (not sure what that test would have been looking for with that, but whatever..). Everything came back normal, but I noticed it again about two weeks later. It was a couple of hours after I'd eaten a piece of cake at a retirement party. I usually just eat a couple of forkfuls, but that time I'd eaten the whole piece. So i let my PCP know. She said the problem was probably low blood sugar, then - it's just that my glucose level happened to be normal when I had the workup. She suggested I just eat something about every three hours - either a Protein or, if a carb, then pair it with a protein. Seems to have resolved the issue for me.

BINGO! That really could be the culprit. I would look at diet. Try to keep as close to nature as possible. Not a lot of artificial sweeteners. Also if you are eating eggs, Beans, broccoli they can cause gas. IF you find after a day or two nothing has changed then I would suspect that you are now having a dairy or whey intolerance. Things change with the RNY! You might need to go to a almond or other dairy alternative, And go to a plant based Protein Powder. Read labels to be sure No Whey if that’s the case.

Immediately post op I took the Bariatric Advantage chewable. I was able to take it without food even and it didn’t upset my stomach. Of course everyone is different but I did well with it.

Have you guys looked into this site's formula? Bariatric pal has many varieties with varied flavors too to get you started. Plus they also have baraotric special where you only need to take once a day instead of having to take multiple pills a day.

I have been using Barimelt and they are really good, but turns out you have to take more of them to get the recommended dosage which can get pretty expensive. I’ve ordered some from Unjary. I’ve heard they are pretty good so we’ll see. -
