I am 18 days post op and I have lost 23 lbs. I have been for the last two weeks experiencing body shakes, feeling faint and feeling very jittery early in morning and during the day and just a lack of wanting to eat. I thought it was low blood sugar but tested with a machine during this feeling and blood sugar was almost perfect! Has anyone else experienced this? i probably will call my doctor or dietician monday if it doesn't go away! Just wondering if anyone was experiencing any of these symtoms.

Hope someone can help!:eek:

Lack of hunger good. Body shakes and jitters not so good.

My DH is diabetic so I know that testing once doesn't do the trick when your sugar is dropping/rising. Test twice 15 mins apart.

Also are you getting enough to drink? Gotta stay hydrated. Getting your protein? That is a must. Just suck down a protein drink first thing in the morning. If your band is tight in the AM (like mine) drink a small glass of warm water first.

Good rule of thumb is if you think you should call the Dr, you should! (if just for piece of mind)

Your body is going through a really big change and you have to give it time to get adjusted.

Good luck on your journey,

Amanda

i had the same problem and my doctor told me my body is in shock with the band and the different eating habits i noticed it going away about a month to a month in a half. just takes time for your body to catch up and realized its not going away (the band) and you are just adjusting. but for sure call your doctor and see what he says.
