Sugar

[KarissaKhaos 170]

I totally get why a bypass patient would get so sick from sugar but why us too? I mean we just had our stomachs down-sized as opposed to complety blocked off. I had a bite of cheesecake at my jewelry party lastnight and it made me so incredibly nauseous and sweaty. NEVER again.

It happens to me too but not specifically with sugar. Some sweets give me the same feeling as you and others are fine. But some non-sweet food will give me the same reaction. Food from restaurants doesn't sit well at all.

I can tell you a little bit of why you experience the symptoms you described based on what I have read in the past. I take zero responsibility for its accuracy.

Pre sleeve much of the sugar, or fat for that matter, is churned with gastric juices in the stomach, essentially neutralizing it for better nutritional processing in the intestines. It is also a controlled release. The stomach churns food about 3 times a minute until the food is ready to be released into the intestines.

Post op, the stomach no longer is able to perform this preprocessing step of churning (as 75% is cut out), and as a consequence, a lot of sugar or fat is dumped directly into the intestines. The intestines are not prepared to handle the blast of sugar or fat and causes reactions around the body such as sweating, increased heart rate, GI tract spasms, etc. It is your body having an adverse reaction to the sugar. Not fatal, but uncomfortable for sure. Some may say this is dumping for us sleevers.

That is my bro-science response and I do not know if it is 100% accurate. Use your own judgement.
