Hello all, new to the forums. I had my surgery may 20,2013. I had the lapband for the year prior but had zero help from that. I've noticed almost after everytime I eat a good sized meal, I don't mean over stuffing to the point of feeling sick, I just mean FULL, that I get these waves/constant hot flashes that last for a little bit of time. Anyone else experiencing this?

Oh yes and I'm 61lbs down total. Highest weight 468, dos 449, last weigh was 407.....goal 200-250

Some people experience that when the food contains too much sugar and fats or eat just a little bit too much. It's a sign that your body doesn't like what you just put in it. Can you share what you ate.... I read all labels and don't eat anything that has sugar or corn in it.....

I agree with the skinniness lady above. Adjust your carbs and see f that works

My surgeon told me that if I eat too much it will cause hot flashes and even the symptoms of a heart attack. He told me if that ever happens to me, to just walk, walk, walk. It happened to me once and I began to sweat and breathe hard etc, I havent made that mistake ever since!

Have a super day!

This has happened to me a few times and it has always happened when I'VE eaten to much or to fast.

Sounds like dumping syndrome

This sounds like dumping syndrome to me. Was it high in carbs, sugar, or fats?

Yes! This happens to me. I'm almost a year out, it happens periodically, but I cannot seem to pinpoint what the culprit is. Seems like it happens when I get too full... but sometimes I can eat more than others, so not sure what signals the brain to do that! Interesting phenomenon. I spoke to my nutritionist about it at my 6 month, and she said she had never heard of that before! hmmm.... sounds like it's much more common than I thought! it passes quickly, though.

I'm 9 days post-op & I too have had a few of these "hot flashes." it definitely happens if I drink my 11 ounce protein drink too fast! At first I would even have a headache with it!

It doesn't really seem to matter what I eat I think it's just a " I ate too much to fast" type thing. It's more annoying than anything, I wish it was winter so I could just stand outside haha. I try to under eat just to avoid that overly full almost acidic issue atleast I feel when I eat too much. So for me I've found under eating and I just mean like 2-3 bites less leaves me enough room to feel content and not sick. This truly is a balancing act . It's funny for the person who said to walk because when the hot flashes come I don't want anyone to even talk to me and I just wanna walk haha it's the weirdest thing. Oh well old habits for hard, thank god it's not a everyday thing!

I am so glad I am not alone. I do believe it happens when you eat too fast, at least for me. However, I will be more careful with the carbs and sugar.

Definitely hot flashes & headache if I eat too fast.

Absolutely! I hate those hot flashes!

That happens to me if I eat too much or too fast
