First, congradulations on your weight loss.
Second, you need to see another doctor. You may be suffering from what is called dumping syndrome. This occurs when food moves too quickly through the stomach and intestines. It causes nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and possibly diarrhea soon after eating. These symptoms are made worse by eating highly refined, high-calorie foods (like sweets). In some cases you may become so weak that you have to lie down until the symptoms pass.
You may also be suffering from nutrional defiencies caused by the food passing to quickly through your system.
Please for your health and your kids sake, go get the advice of anothe physician.
Good luck and best wishes,
Tip
p.s. please let me know how you are doing and what your new physician says.

I'm having the same problem but I can't find a lawyer or a doctor to fix me. I am 43 and HATE having the G-Tube in. If you find someone let me know too.
