Feel like poop after eating.

OK, just want to say hey to everyone, it's been awhile since I have made a post. I am almost 3 years out of surgery and lately I have been experiencing feeling crappy after eating. It doesn't matter what I eat, it almost feels like dumping, but not as bad. I have checked my blood surgar before eating and after when I start to feel bad, and my blood sugar has never been over 110 or too low, usually runs in the 80's - 90's all the time. Is anyone else having the same feeling this far out of surgery? My zinc level was low but I have been taking a zinc suppliment as suggested by my Dr. I'm just curious as to what it could be. Guess I need to call Dr. Bours office, lol.

Hugs!

It doesn't matter what I eat, I feel yucky. It never did this until recently,so it has me really confused as to what it is. Right now I can feel my heart pounding, almost like I just exercised, but it's not beating fast just hard, if that makes sence. I guess it's kind of a giddy feeling, shaky, a little nauseous feeling, which usually subsides in a few minutes. Beats me as to what is going on, almost makes me not want to eat. Oh well, I will figure it out one day. Just wish I could drop 10 more pounds, lol.

Hugs!

You will  lose that 10 lbs  I felt bad all day yesterday so I went back to soft foods and felt better this morning.  I went back to measuring everything and that made a difference ...If I was just grabbing something without measuring  I noticed I felt worse    I hope you feel better soon...you are in my prayers.

Thanks Barbara, I know I got away from measuring my foods over the past two years, and need to get back to doing that. I'm hoping maybe it is something that simple. I have also gotten slack with my protein intake so I went out and bought some more protein drinks, Muscle Milk brand, hoping it would taste as good as the optifast we used before our surgery, but I can't stand the taste. I wish they would let us buy that particular Optifast, since I can't drink the Optifast HP, it is way too sweet for me. I know the Optifast has sugar in it, but it taste a lot less sweet that the HP one that uses artifical sweetner. I have several protein mixes that I try to drink on occasion, but for some reason I am having trouble with all of them tasting nasty, kind of like it was right after surgery, lol. Oh well, no one told us it would be easy, even after almost 3 years.   I wanted to start going back to the meetings but, they just changed my work schedule and I am going to be working 4 ten hour days with my day off being Monday, so far, and that might change. I'm off today due to low patient load, but that doesn't happen very often.
Take care and keep in touch.
Hugs!
