Sounds to be you were dumping, what did you eat prior to that?

Like 3 bites of split peas soup. I've had it everyday for weeks.. So scared I hate feeling that way it felt like I was dying

Sometimes the things you could eat you can't like a day after it's weird. Ya i heard the feeling sucks. I myself have never had out and i pray i never do. Just be careful, maybe not eat that soup anymore. Glad your better

Sounds to me like low blood sugar

I hope you are alright. :) sip a little water.

I've been sipping a vitamin water zero, its helping. I think my electrolytes may have been wacky. I'm trying to finish this before I go to bed. The feeling terrified me. Was looking for answers.

Out bodies are traumatized things are gonna go crazy. I would call your doc in the morning about it

My surgeon said it could be low blood pressure due to dehydration. If you can, check your blood pressure or I think he said if there is a difference in your pulse between sitting and standing. I get spells of this.

Califmomto4 my blood pressure has steadily been around 98/62 all day. I know it's low end if normal but normal none the less. I'm wondering if because my blood pressure was semi high before surgery ... Maybe my body adjusting??

It happened to me at 3 weeks out and I was in fact dehydrated and had to go to the ER and get a bag of fluids. Be careful, call your surgeon.

I feel exactly like that when I am dehydrated.

Sounds like low blood sugar to me, it happens to me a lot, I am diabetic and the surgeon has me drinking low sugar juice diluted in half with Water 3 times daily. That helps keep my sugar regulated.
