Wondering if anyone else experiences this and if it's normal. Surgery was on 7/15 no complications have lost 52 so far but sometimes when I eat immediately after or while I'm eating I get really hot, I start sweating ALOT it's really weird and makes me uncomfortable.

Input?

I do... Been told this happens when you either eat to fast, eat something your sleeve doesn't like or that it's a sign of dumping. It feels like hit flashes only magnified!! Very uncomfortable when it happens.

I have the same thing. And lately it's been fairly often. Today at lunch we went to a local bbq place, and I ordered smoked chicken. This place smokes all of their meats, and doesn't put any sauce on anything. So I know it wasn't sugar causing dumping. And I wasn't eating fast at all. I've had chicken without issues before, from this same place. I was suddenly HOT, to the point of sweating. And I guess my face was red, as my family inquired if I was ok. I will be asking my surgeon about this at my appointment next week.

I'm gonna sound crazy what is dumping I always hear it?

Dumping is when something you eat causes a sudden drop in sugar level. I'm told the food "dumps" from the stomach too fast. It can range from mild discomfort to having to lay down to prevent passing out. Some people have digestive symptoms, headaches, stomachache, sweating, vomiting, cold chills, the shakes, and it can cause passing out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_dumping_syndrome

Well, i get hot after I eat too, I've never had any dumping or any of the signs of dumping. I thought maybe I was eating too fast but that doesn't seem to matter either. I doesn't last long it's just weird. Oh and I don't get sweaty or anything just really hot(I thought it was hot flashes!)

Dumping also refers to diarrhea...Extreme diarrhea ..caused by something that your sleeve cannot tolerate..Happens mostly with the by-pass but can also happen with the sleeve. Mostly fast food or carbs can bring that on.....

Interested in what your surgeon had to say about this.

      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!!
