Dizziness and bloating
I don't get many problems since my RNY, but today after lunch I'm feeling very strange.
I had 4 oz of albacore from the can and a small salad with skinny girl dressing. After lunch my gut started bubbling, and I've gotten really bloated. Uncomfortably so, where I'm having some moderate pain, mostly on my left front side where my pouch would be. I had to unbutton my jeans.
The most worrisome is the dizziness. I haven't fallen down or anything, but I almost fell earlier when I was in the bathroom stall trying to pull my pants up. My husband is out of town tonight and I have to drive home in less than an hour to pick up the baby.
Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I had a baby bell at about 3:30 even though I felt bloated, in case it was my blood sugar, but that did nothing for me.

I've been having dizzy spells when I get up, but no pain. I've determined that it is fluid (and BP dropping)related and keep drinking more and more water. it does seem to help.
not sure about the pain. :(
hope you feel better soon

I get that too, when I stand up, but today the room is spinning as I am sitting here. So strange.

On about 3 occasions post op, I got similar bloating-- extremely uncomfortable bloating- so bad that I needed to just lay down. I never figured the cause of it-- but it hasn't happened since. I'll say the bubbling/bloating feeling is similar to what I experienced if I eat high fat foods (bacon, fired anything, bologna). But these 3 incident were certainly more 'acute' than the usual.
Did you have mayo in your tuna?
(I've never been dizzy though.) Be safe driving home!

No mayo in my tuna, just albacore straiget from the can. I won't drive if I feel dizzy them I get to my car.

I get that with mild food poisoning. Or due to food allergies.
i.e. I am allergic to soy and if there is some soy (even some soy oil) I may get a reaction like that.

how much sugar in the dressing? Could be that
It's sugar free, only 10 calories.
Also, I have been up since 4am because my 2 year old was up at 4. Could be I'm tired. Trying not to be too much of a hypochondriac.
