Not feeling well after eating

I had surgery 2 weeks ago. The last two days when I eat I get dizzy sweaty and feel awful about 10 min after. Then I layed down and couldn’t wake up for 2 hr. My blood sugar is ok. Does anyone know what causes this and what to do

  • This sounds EXACTLY like dumping. What did you eat? Do you know how much sugar was in the food? At 2 weeks out you should be on purees still.

  • Your blood is diverted to your stomach to help with digestion, lessened blood flow to the brain gives you these symptoms. Your body will take a while to get this functions sorted out.

  • It sounds like dumping. Is there a particular type of food that seems to trigger it? Are you drinking with your meals? I havent had my RNY yet so I can’t help you with how to deal with an episode

I havent had my RNY yet so I can’t help you with how to deal with an episode but I am keen on what other people do that helps.

It was mashed potatoes and purée pork. I thought dumping doesn’t occur with sleeve..? Does this improve or Ian there anything that can help.

Pork is notorious for upsetting gall bladders and other digestive
areas. My Daddy used to call Pork Broth "Devil Broth" for that reason. Do you by chance still have YOUR gall bladder?
