Ok, so not been well all week, but on the mend, and this morning one of my kids opened some chocolates but left one, and I thought ah what the hell?

So I ate one chocolate and sat down with my Protein drink for Breakfast, but within 10 minutes I am horribly faint and nauseous and having a hot sweat, thought I was actually going to pass out if I moved at all. An hour on I was back to normal, but it took a while to settle down.

So I pondered the possible causes, and figure I am either reacting badly to the little bit of chocolate I have had, or to the fact I am generally not eating a great ammount.

On an average day I manage 1/2 tin of Soup at lunch, and either a small omlette, 3/4 of a chicken breast, or another soup for tea, and a couple of low fat mini baby bell as Snacks during the day.

I'm also really struggling to get more than about 2 pints of Fluid in during the day and I am sipping constantly.

Thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks

I found sugar to be hard to tolerate the first few months after the surgery. If I tried to eat an entire candybar now, I'd probably get the same symptoms, although at this point I can have 2-3 pieces of chocolate.

Yes I definitely was getting this same reaction first out when I'd even have a bite of candy or something really sweet. I have to admit - it's keeping me away from the stuff for the most part. I do have sweets once in awhile but it sure isn't much and when I do its few and far between.

I also get nauseated off of chips and popcorn - it just makes me feel so yucky and sick. I'm also severely lactose intolerant, so along with my sugar issues, it's keeping me away from ice cream.

YAY I LOOOOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Irene,

If my sleeve gave me that type of reaction with sweets, chips and ice cream, I would consider the whole surgery a success!! I should only be so lucky!

Hey Lucille, I hope so! I actually know I'm super rare with this, so I can't say. In fact I really don't even know of anyone else this has happened to. It's a fact though, ALL junk food makes me nauseated or dumping. No wonder I'm losing as fast as I am. LOL!!! Lap band and sleeve - for me is like day and night.
