new symptom (insert weak & tired chuckle here)

[kids05 4]

Ok, so as I have mentioned...or you can see on my ticker...I am getting married (2nd times a charm right...lol)

So, today we have 6 of us gals together to go see BRIDESMAIDS. Funny movie. Had a great time, didn't snack at all during the flick and I was fine with it...yay me! Agterwards a little shopping then everyone wants to go for ice cream. Ok...we go to Johnny Rockets. Only one kind of ice cream, regular vanilla. So I splurge. I have not had real ice cream in God knows how long. I got a single scoop of vanilla with a little chocolate and a little Peanut Butter on it and of course whipped topping. I didn't even finish the whole thing. So it can't be too horrible...right?

All of a sudden I felt flushed, hot on the inside and a cold sweat on my face and arms. Can't seem to breathe comfortably...just feeling crappy...then I start to yawn. I did not get sick or have diarrhea (I was worried the whole way home) but the yawning continues...its been like 2 hours and I am still yawning??? What is that? Is this a symptom you have heard of? I mean I still feel off, but not as bad as I did....but yawning still...this is almost as annoying as my hiccup bouts. Sooo...one of you fellow sleevers please, yet again, tell me I am not alone here! LOL...this sleeve is making me feel like this sure is one crazy life!

Don't quote me, because I'm not a medical professional, but this sounds like a blood sugar spike/crash.... you know how, in your pre-sleeve life, after you ate a big ol' lunch and went back to work, around an hour later, you found yourself longing for a cup of coffee or maybe something sweet OR a nap? I think you got the same response from your body, just hyper'd because you've not been eating that much sugar at one time for a while.

I had the same thing happen when I ate a bite of birthday cake on an empty stomach (don't ask me why I did that--it was there, I was hungry, yadda yadda). Hot flashes, ickiness, feeling restless and like I was going to be sick but wasn't.... I think it's blood sugar.

I'm glad nothing worse happened! You may also be somewhat lactose intolerant, and maybe your body was freaking out a bit about the "foreign substance" you introduced! :-) If you're okay now, great, and I'd put it in the "something to remember" column when confronted with ice cream again.

lol...I was thinking it was because I hadn't had that much sugar at one time yet thing...but I am STILL yawning! Maybe I need a nap? The heartburn is pretty bad at the moment too, 2 tums have not touched it. I agree..I will not be having ice cream out again any time soon. But the yawning every couple of minutes is just ODD...thought maybe someone else had experienced it.

U havent had any sugar in a long time?

It happened to me but with hagen Dazs ice cream, I felt may be too much sugar in it. then Again with the pudding (Not sugar free) Then I knew it! I cant tolerate anything with lots of grams of sugar, the yawning wont end until u rest for a while.

Too much carbs do that, and I know u havent had that much but 2 spoons are capable enough of doing these symptoms to us!

Some are lucky and they can go on with such kind of food. Others wont.

I can tolerate dark chocolate, but milky one leaves me with an acidic taste in my mouth even after having my PPI meds.

the cold sweat, hot flashes are one of the symptoms of dumping syndrome but u must at least have diarrhea with it , so if u didnt then I just think ur insulin spiked over the rough all of the sudden and then abandoned u , that u felt like crashing.

Hi Kids05-

I have NO ties to the medical community but I am a reactional hypoglycemic and your symptoms sound a lot like what I deal with if I eat sugar without Proteins and complex carbs to slow things down. My blood sugar spikes and then my body works too fast to process this sugar and my glucose level drops way too low causing me to get shaky/pass out. Once I recovery from this I am absolutely wiped out and yawn like crazy until I can crash.

Again, I know very little about physiology... just a possibility.
