I have been having moments where i start sweating and feeling so hot, and i become so nauseated and tired. Has anyone felt this way since surgery?

The hot flashes have been happening to me several times a day ever since surgery. I don't feel nauseous though. I thought maybe I was going through menopause.

Exactly what @@eal098 just said. If I eat the wrong thing, I get hot and sweaty and a bit nauseous. And that is one flavor of dumping syndrome!!! lol. It doesn't happen with all wrong foods, but it is kind of random so it's hard to find a pattern but if you follow the plan, you shouldn't have to deal with it much.

That's what has me worried because it happens when i not eating so it can't be from dumping.

I have read that some people have delayed dumping, where the feeling happens an hour or more after eating. have no idea for sure.

I'm 12 yrs post op. Trust me; you are dumping. Figure out what you ate with in the past 2 hours. Also, did you eat something with natural or other sugar and then exercise a bunch? That can lower the blood sugar fast and give those symptoms. Appreciate it and learn from it.

In viewing your question it seems more like Hypoglycemic episodes than dumping syndrome in my opinion. I don't know if you are going long periods between meals but at least try to drink a protein shake...some of it. Or eat a yogurt. Take a anti nausea medication before hand. I am 5 months post op and still deal with nausea. My Doctor prescribed Zofran sublingual so it just melts on my tongue. I also have Phenergan a stronger pill for nausea if I need it. I don't know if you are a diabetic but either way please confer with Doctor regarding your symptoms if you have not done so already. Best wishes.

I have severe hot flashes. that started in the last month. Some of it is "dumping" and I think the culprit is "fatty foods". Unfortunately, doesn't seem to take much, I cooked greens with neckbones and bacon for flavoring. I ate the greens and neckbones and had a hot flash.

But I also get them throughout the day unrelated to eating. I check my blood sugar and it is not hypoglycemic. anyone have a suggestion I would be happy to hear them.

I'm experiencing hot flashes more so now than before mainly at night in my sleep and occasionally during the day. I'm guessing mine is my hormones, I had a complete hysterectomy a year ago and finally got straight with the flashes. I'm wondering if the weight and diet change is throwing them off again.

As you lose weight, estrogen (which is stored in fat cells) is released into the circulation. You might be having hot flashes r/t to this increased estrogen/menopausal type symptoms.

Thank you giys for your suggestions and I'm wondering if having a hysterectomy a few years back and this surgery throw my hormones off causing the hot flashes as was suggested earlier.
