I eat and then I'm zapped...



Recommended Posts

This just started. I eat and all is well, then boom I feel horrible. I have no energy, I just want to go to sleep. Walking or standing is work. I'm so scared I'm going to collapse. It last for about 20 minutes and then it passes. I feel fine. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Sounds like dumping. That happens to me if I have too many carbs or have something sweet

Oh great!! I am going to keep an eye on it. I see the surgeon on the 23rd. I guess it could be. I had grilled chicken wings and I took 2 of my husbands French fries. I'm very careful about what I eat, but I couldn't resist tonight. This isn't the first time this happened And normally it's Protein and veggies.

Yeah I'm trying to figure it all out too. It's only happened to me a few times and I'm almost 8 months out but it's scary. Try and pay attention to what you eat when it happens and go from there ????

Some of the symptoms you are describing could be due to low blood sugar. Some people suffer from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) after surgery. This occurs in people who were diabetic or were not diabetic prior to surgery. You may be experiencing reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) is low blood sugar that occurs after a meal — usually within four hours after eating. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) usually occurs while fasting. Signs and symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia may include hunger, weakness, shakiness, sleepiness, sweating, lightheadedness, anxiety and confusion.

I have been experiencing low blood sugar now for a week and didn't realize what it was until I checked my blood and spoke with my surgeon's muse practitioner. I feel lousy!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
