Thank you for the encouragement, AggiG, sure need it!

Well, let’s keep each other updated on what works & what doesn’t. And maybe we can educate the drs along the way.

I too am experiencing severe episodes of reactive hypoglycemia. I’ve been hospitalized 3 times in the last 2 months. My sugar drops rapidly. It’ll go from 60 to 37 in minutes. Assigned to an endocrinologist team my last hospitalization and have now been prescribed Acarbose & a told to eat 6 small meals, high protein some fat & no more than 30 grams of carbs each meal. Just started med yesterday and concentrating very hard on following diet. It’s basically the keto & I could stand to loose about 10-15 lbs so I’m eager to try this. I’m wearing a freestyle glucosemeter (no pricking) to help track sugar & bump it up before I start feeling the symptoms. I’m also carrying glucose tablets to bump it up quickly. I have an appointment next week with endo to discuss progress & decide if anything additional or different needs to be done. I pray that something can be done because living with this has turned my life upside down. I’m afraid to drive long distances; lots of confusion; no interest in usual activities and also depression has set in. I feel awful that I’ve put my family through this worry simply because I chose to have the surgery. But I would have it all over again if given the choice of being very unhealthy & obese and my life as it is now. I just have to remember that and I’ll get through this! Sorry for being long winded. I just felt if anyone would understand my feelings it would be my fellow bypass friends. Take care, I’ll keep all posted as I go thru this. 😊

I agree with, this is an awesome forum! It's been like a lifeline in helping me get through this. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, it was rough one, gas & nausea. I really need to have a BM & I'll be better. I'm just so bloated. I've had miralax & will try the milk of magnesia. But, don't want to do too much & dehydrate myself when it happens. Overall, I feel good & still blessed to be going through this. But, anyone that thinks we took the easy way out needs to read our forum. This is not for the faint at heart. This forum also shows how strong we are.! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

OMG I did what Lindsey did, drank too much Protein, G2 & Water. I've been miserable for hours. Been walking & walking trying to feel better. I also took my Vitamins today around the same time, I'm too anxious now I'm paying Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Morning All, up & leaving for our new day! Feeling full of joy & praise! Praying for all & looking forward to going thru this new found friendship with you all! I plan to relax, take it all in & most of all thank God for giving me another chance to get it right. And, I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful husband & best friend!! Without his continued love & support (no matter the size), I wouldn't have the courage to strive for more for myself. Take care friends..we got this! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

This is my first day of liquid diet. So far so good. Drinking Premier Protein shakes & when they are cold, they are good. Gotta get some other things to mix it up. But so far, I'm doing ok..hunger is controlled. ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
