My surgery was 06/2016 and have lost 110lbs. I feel great now that I have been through all the rough patches! There is one thing that I can't figure out though. I know we are supposed to keep sugar to a minimum intake however when I do take in sugar (more then allowed) I feel weak, sweaty, and nauseated. Does this happen to anyone else and does anyone else have the same?

YES! What you are experiencing is a type of dumping syndrome. Its your bodies way of saying you shouldn't have eaten that. I know that I cannot take in more than 6 grams of sugar at a time or I'll get super sick with all of the symptoms you've listed. Try to watch that sugar intake because your body can't handle it now.

Good luck!

I agree with others, you are dumping. I avoid sugar entirely. The only substantial sugar I consume is from blueberries and I limit those to 1/2 cup per serving.

You can also dump from eating or drinking too fast, so watch that as well. (I'm assuming you had rny)

What about OJ? It's the only thing I can drink and keep down at the moment. Water makes me nauseous, though I am still drinking it.

Yes I had rny. I love juices so what I do is use about 90% Water and 10% juice depending how strong the juice is. Apple juice works really well with me. Thanks for all the replies. I rely on all of you out there for support. This site has help me so much.

      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.

      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!!
