Feeling awful every time I eat



Recommended Posts

I also saw a post the other day with someone who said she had these issues due to her anemia. As soon as that got treated, the nausea went away. Maybe feosol will help?

I'm just over a month out. Every time I eat' date=' I get nauseous, my heart starts pounding and I feel like I'm going to pass out. After about 30 minutes or so, it goes away. I just feel so terrible. I just had Soup and I'm trying not to fall out, again. As an aside, I am severely anemic post surgery. I I exert myself or get hot, I have similar symptoms. So, I'm wondering, is it all anemia related or have others had this with eating post op?

Thanks,

It sounds like your dumping , our nut explained that if you eat anything fatty or sugary you can get whats known as the dumping syndrome, it makes you feel pretty ill for a while and is very unpleasant, palpitations, nausea feeling like your gonna pass out. I have, nt had it myself as I have stuck to my post op diet and i, m still on liquids, purees, i, m in the uk do your surgeon tell you about dumping syndrome in the usa?

It does feel exactly like what I've heard dumping feels like. However, it is worse with things that shouldn't cause dumping. I have it the worst with meat, and am least likely to have it with a simple carb like white crackers or Cereal.

I keep trying to remember who said it but can't. You may want to start a new thread with" nausea related to anemia" or something as a title.

Visit with my primary care doctor and upper GI study this a.m.! My stomach is emptying too fast causing symptoms similar to dumping syndrome. I have also gone from being an insulin dependent diabetic prior to surgery to being hypoglycemic after, so blood glucose is staying very low and ANY food intake is causing a sudden and rapid increase in glucose levels.

My surgeon had me eating 3 meals a day with 3oz Protein, 3 tbsp starch, and 3 tbsp veggies which was tough to get down. I have been instructed to have 6 mini meals a day with 2 oz Protein, 2 tbsp starch, and 2 tbsp veggies. I started this at lunch today and already feel a little better. Nausea has subsided for now........hoping this does the trick!

Wow! That's great. And something none of us on the board could have predicted. SO glad you talked to the surgeon and shared.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
