Menopause Or Dumping Coma?

Hi Everyone
  Yesterday I made my own homemade protein drink, consisting of 12 oz. of FF milk with 1 banana with 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 10 strawberries and 1 egg white and 1 large T of Splenda..in the blender...

I have made these several times in the past and drank them within 1 1/2 hour time span . I dont recall passing out right after drinking it in the past... Yesterday i passed out right after drinking mine. for the first time...This was first thing in the morning, I pretty much passed out  i tried to fight the extreme fatigue but could not , so i was in the recliner all day , In the past I have been known to sleep all day and knew it was from mother nature time ( this was before wls ) , i have not had mother nature now for 11 months.. I am in menopause now. 51 1/2 now... I dont have the hot flashes but i am thinking i am having all the other symptoms as when mother nature was with me. I use to get extremely tired during mother nature time... have any of went into a sleep coma right after drinking a protein drink that are in menopause? Or any time at all?!! thanks for your time.........Wendy

i see a great deal of sugars in that drink-even tho they are natural-also the milk sugar...that could cause a sleepy dump --however--i would think tehre is something else going on here.....and i wouldn't blame it on mother nature-get yourself to a dr!!!

Bananas are tricky for me ... I dumped really bad on a ripe banana w/simply jif peanut butter. Seperately I could handle each but the combo was obviously too much for my system! Another lady had the same experience with apple & PB. Go figure? So it may be just that your system was tempermental that day? So sorry you dumped ... I know how awful that is.

I dump on ripe banans or too green of bannas.  Also, strawberries are really tricky for me.  I cannot eat over one or two without throwing up or getting the foamies.  Too sweet.

That is alos a pretty good size protein drink using 12 oz. of milk. Most lkely it was dumping & not related to menopaus at all. Although  being 55 and dealing with the
menopause crap myself. I never know if the sweats I get is from food or from menopause. Talking to the new Doc about that now.  Maybe cut the amounts in half
& see if that owrks better fo you

Hi,I would elliminate these foods and see if it happens..

Hey Linda S
 I see you are in Phoenix, I am in Bullhead City about 6 hrs away. Imight be coming
your way for a revision as my Insuarnace (if even approved) will have to be in AZ &
nobody here has anything to do with wls & would not trust  them even if they did.
Are you still there & where abouts are you?
