Question:
Does anyone feel "drunk" or "high" after they eat.

I have been on "soft food" for a month and when I eat a few minutes afterward I feel "drunk". I check my sugar and it's fine. I'm taking my vitamins, not eating sugar, and am eating 4-6oz.    — C. Barnes (posted on October 5, 2009)

perhaps you are eating too much?? How far out are you? I am 16 months out and eat 4 ounces every meal. If you are eating, for example a yoplait yogurt, you are getting way too much sugar. Slider foods..soft foods...are easier to eat too much of. You should be measuring out your food and I would personally say to talk to your nutritionist about what and how much you are eating. Maybe 4-6 oz is ok where you go, but at our clinic..two ounces is the max until you reach goal weight. They want you to keep your meals as small as possible for as long as possible to ensure success. If you have no hunger, this should not be a problem for you. Its not too late to cut back. Soft foods will not stretch the pouch as easily as stage 3 foods will. I do hope you are waiting 5 minutes between bites and eating 20-30 minutes and no longer. This means 6-7 bites. Good luck to you and God Bless! hugs,Kim

so food makes you feel high or drunk? You mean dizzy and floaty? This sounds like funny side effect. You are absorbing foods quicker then before so your system is havign a problem addressing the messages it is getting. It will probably go away as you get into the more solid foods but you should check with your doctor to make sure it is not a reaction with one of your medications.

Your'e more than likely dumping...If your food contains bread, carbs, sugar, fruit, sweet sauces of any kind, oil, or fat...you may be dumping...it happens to me too. There are two kinds of dumping--the "sweating profusely and cant get up kind", then there is the "I ate something wrong that makes me feel tired/weird kind".....
