I'm 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and just over the last couple of days, each time I eat a meal (well balanced/appropriate size) within minutes I start to get clammy and sweat and my mood/energy levels take an immediate nose dive. I can only think it has something to do with my blood sugar levels. I was not diabetic prior to surgery. Does anyone know what this is caused by or has anyone else experienced the same thing?

I get like that, along with other symptoms from stuff containing sugar. I never had an issue with sugar before surgery but now i am extremely sensitive to it. I have to check everything for hidden sugar.

I have also heard of people feeling like that from eating too fast.

I do that every time i swallow chewable vitamins. I would talk to your Dr aout it for sure. If its blood sugar related you need to know and need to know how to handle it.

Thank you for your advice! I spoke with my doctor today and he has told me that it's dumping syndrome. So I need to pay very close attention to what I'm eating. (hidden refined sugars & Carbs)

Do you remember what you ate that made you feel that way?

One time I ate potato so that would explain it and another time I had refried beans & cheese, so I can't really explain that one. I guess I will just have to make a note if it happens again and see if there is a trend. It may also have to do with eating too fast as niki mentioned.

I get that with too much sugar as well. But for me, it has to be very sweet ( ie desserts, cosmo)

Eating too fast and eating one spoon too much usually gives u those symptoms... Chew well, helps u get a reasonable amount of food in, eat slowly and pay attention as u eat - and stop before u feel full. The last one is hardest for me of i am enjoying the food :-((((

The eating slowly is killing me! I try so hard but it's so time consuming and so boring. I am managing 15 minute meals and 15 times chewing, but my doctor told me today that I should be doing 30 of both Aghhhhhh

With me it's the liquid cheese they put on hot dogs and frito pies. tried it twice and got sick both times. Lesson learned!

yep. I also get that when eating something high in sugar. I think it could be like our version of dumping syndrome is what I was told. I get clammy, hot, feel sick...last time was after I ate some chocolate!

I get that with sugar too. The good thing is its keeps from even thinking about a tiny little sugar!
