does this ever happen to you

Okay some of this may be TMI.  This has happened to me 4 times since surgery (2Years).

I get very hot and sweaty, My tummy hurts worse than labor pains, very bad burning where I think my tummy is on fire inside, I am on the toilet not all the time does anything happen but I fell better sitting there I guess, Very dizzy,sometimes a little hard to breath, and it helps to sip on cold water......... What is this?  I think it is because of all the crap I have eaten.  I got that way this morning and I almost think I am gonna die when it happens.  I get so scared and swear to myself never again.  This has happened 4 times since surgery, and I am 2 years out.  I know I haven't eaten nearly as much as I would of pre-surgery but still good lord...........  I am glad Christmas is over and gonna start to get back on track................ Any ideas of what is happening to me?

Thanks,

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha:

I think you are on the verge of dumping.  I would guess that there might be a lot of sugar in the Christmas foods you have eaten.  If it doesn't get better with a return to a less-carby/sugary diet after the holiday, you might want to see your doctor.

"on the VERGE of dumping"?

I disagree.

I think it sounds like she was in a full-blown ATOMIC DUMP!!! 

Marsha, only you know what you ate before these attacks.  Ask yourself - was I dumping?  Because if you sincerely don't think you were, then you DO need to see a doctor. 

Darla:

I am sure you are right.  I have never really dumped, at least in the ATOMIC sense...God that sounds awful.  I bow to your wisdom.

I agree with RP...sounds like dumping. Symptoms vary from person-to-person, but we all get variations of this when we dump. Try to up your fluids today. This should help flush out the bad stuff and help you to feel better. If not, then see your doctor.

Hope you feel better!

You're dumping woman!  

I get hot and sweaty when I dump.. the worst one I've had I literally had to strip down to my undies and bra and stand in front of an open window in the middle of winter! I can also get dizzy and a nauseated feeling... usually my heart pounds and races too. But everyone dumps a little differently... I also sometimes get a tummy ache.. but never a fire.

I have had it happen when I've ate crap I shouldn't have... I'm a total sugar dumper.. but I also know I have dumped from Fritos, and some greasy fried food I tried.

I agree.. you dumped!

Marsha, not sure about the tummy being on fire,but the rest of your symtoms and Marshas, are looking to be from hypoglycemia. it can be caused by too many sugar grams, or the rush of high carbohydrates. it can start anytime after surgery. I have had it happen when I forgot  to check the b-b-cue sauce for sugar, or misjudging a serving of 3 tbs for 10 grams.ya know like heaping the spoonful in? make a list of the crap you ate and see if any corrolation is there. if its only the 4th time its happened you can test your tolerance of high carbs and sugar. and watch it in the future.

I agree 100% with the exception of tummy being on fire.  I have reactive hypoglycemia and it causes severe sweating, dizziness, shaking, lightheadedness.  You would be wise just to talk to a doctor about it.  I've been reading more about "dumping" actually being hypoglycemic.  I am 3 years out and I have dumped only a half a dozen times, but have weekly if not more, episodes of hypoglycemia.

Sounds like dumping to me too.
I want to experience the part a poster said about being so hot they had to take everything off to undies and stand in front of an open window. I have enough trees around me to hide the window!  I just want to feel that warm again w/o the dumping parts! LOL
Flush out your system and get back on track. If all that don't work, it is time to go see good old Doc.
Happy New Year,
