I'm just over a month out. Every time I eat, 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,

Elaine

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?

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' date=' the nausea went away. Maybe feosol will help?[/quote']

Thanks for this!! I need to find that post. I feel like it is somehow related bc I have similar symptoms when I get hot or exert myself.

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.
