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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
