Not feeling well after eating



Recommended Posts

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

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 but I am keen on what other people do that helps.

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.

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?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
