I just had an incredibly weird momement. It has been about 3 hours since I last ate and I didn't eat a whole lot even by rny stadards. I got all hot flashy and felt like I was going to toss my cookies (like I eat them?) to the point where I was hanging over the sink and ripping off my sweat shirt.

Is this a wls thing or could it be a menopause thing? (gasp and oh my!)

thanks,
peach

EAT!!!!! your blood sugar has tanked. EAT!!!!!!

I think you may be right!

thanks,
peach

OH I get that "tear the shirt off" feeling on a regular basis.

I was thinking it was connected to menopause, but a part of me knew it was "my" form of dumping.

I can get the feeling as soon as right after eating, 20 minutes after eating or even hours later.......that's why I thought it was menopause related.

I'm so confused..........................

Dear Confused One,

I think you are most likely dumping. Especially if it is so close to after you are eating.

We are to young for that menopause thing

I hope.

I think mine was low blood sugar, though. It had been a good 3 hours since I had eaten.

What an incredibly awful feeling it is.

Noooo I'm the Confooooooooooosed one

Hey Peachie, how many pounds so far ? Here's rootin for yah

Hi Leenie

Dear other confused one........yea, I think some of it is dumping, but the middle of the night sweats......could that be dumping???

Boo to you too

Hey Debkay...the night thing....well, I am sorry to say, sounds like the big"M" to me.

ask Janice!

Leens...boo to you too! I am rounding in on 35 or so...depends how I stand on the scale and how much I can lean, wiggle or expel air!

peach
ps....Debkay...got the package...thank you!!!! It fits!!!!

I was going to keep my mouth shut!

Okay ya'll - dumping is dumping but M is M.

Deb - I strongly suggest you talk to your gyno! And if he/she has the same attitude as my first one did (you're too young-you women want to blame everything on thyroid or M-come and talk to me when you're in your 50's) then go to another one! Five years later a FEMALE doc that took the time to do blood work informed me I'm in the (thank you Dear God in Heaven) the final stages!!

Night sweats, changes in sleeping patterns, loss of hair, emotional issues, the room is comfortable for all else but you're feeling a bit "flushed"......sounds familiar to me....and it aint' dumping!

Remember, there is perimenopause, premenopause, meno and post meno.....damn, and I thought the stretch marks and PMS was bad enuff!

I'll get you for this Peachie!

Hugs and cool thoughts ~ Janice

PS - my DSL keeps coming and going- sorry for my "disappearing" acts! So much for the bargain the phone company gave me with a TWO YEAR CONTRACT!

Calmer hugs ! J

Thanks Janice, and I'm glad peachie outed you

I do strongly believe "my" form of dumping is the sweats........but man the night sweats hours and hours after eating.......guess it is the big M. I'm 44, my Mom's Mom went through the change at a young age (in her 40's) so guess that is what is going on with me. Will get my very supportive PCP to check me when I go in again.

peachie it may fit now, but just wait until next week.......it will fall off your skinny butt Oh the joys of WLS!!!!!!!!!
