HAVE U EVER EXPERIENCED..... feeling flushed, faintish, sweats, etc



Recommended Posts

I feel panic all the time, and always feel faintish, sweats, dizzy, flushed which scares me to death, and like my heart is racing, but my high blood pressure is under control. I did lose approx 150 lbs over a course of 12 yrs!!!!. I have been to every Dr in creation, and they say it's all due to the fact that I lost a lot of weight previously. I was not sleeved yet, but what Im wondering is....will I feel this way post op and will it be sooooooo bad where I cant get out of bed????? Im trying to actually sense what it will be like not eating in the beginning. I know in ONLY 3 days, being on liquids, im FREAKINGGGGGGGG OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep walking around saying omg im gonna pass out!!! What r the feelings

It sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about this.

I felt like that when I went through menopause--in my 40s.

Whatever is causing you to feel these symptoms, you need to track it to its source!

Keep us posted. We really DO care,

Definitely sounds like anxiety is getting to you....hang in there. The best thing to do is to take lots of big, deep breaths and let them out suuuuper slowly. Do your best to stay calm...you can overcome the anxiety by forcing yourself to. Its tough, but you can do it. I do strongly suggest that you speak to a doctor soon, though. The other thing is....about the food and fearing being "only" on liquids....you will feel full after a few ounces, you won't feel deprived like we do now with our full-sized stomachs and "small" portions. Hang in there....I hope you feel better soon! And call your doctor!! ((( hugs )))

This is nothing new. I have been like this most of my years. I have been to all doctors, including psycotherapy which Iv'e been to for years for the weight also. The doctors say it's due to all the weight iv'e lost over the years. I was just wondering if anyone who has lost lots of weight, experience anything of the sort. I mean, I deal with it, but it's making me anxious now wondering if it will get worse afterwards. Thanks for responding :D:D:D

Please talk to your surgeon about this before surgery so you can prepare yourself right after surgery. I am a strong believer in calming yourself and relaxing after the surgery (any surgery, even being in labor), is key to recovery. If you are able to calm yourself, relax and breathe your body will be able to do what it needs to do after the surgery!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
