I guess you have to learn the hard way..

It's happened three or four times..but darn is it memorable.

Still on full fluids (I see surgeon for first post op visit tomorrow).

If I finish my full fluids too soon, I get this horrible, nauseated, full, weak in the knees sensation.

It lasts about 30-45 minutes (sometimes shorter), and passes.

It is just awful. No pain per say, just this terrible bloated, sick to my stomach sort of feeling.

Is there a name for this, or is it just overfilling my sleeve that causes it?

The first time happened when I drank my Boost drink too quickly. I was at a birthday party and was feeling fairly weak, so I rushed to drink it. Bad move.

I guess I need to really slow it down.

Has this happened to you?

Now I am frightened to start pureed foods.

You need to slow down because when you get to the food stage if you eat to fast it's much worse. I learned the hard way. You will get horrible pain in the chest and then I started sliming and threw up. It really isn't pretty. Just slow way down and when you feel full STOP.

Boost may have to much sugar in it as well. I know my dietician told me no more than 8g of sugar at a time. She said it would produce a dumping like feeling that you're describing.

I drink the calorie smart Boost, only 4 gms of sugar in it.

When I drink things that are cold (like the protein shakes) I feel queasy. Room temp and warm do not give me problems.
