spoiltmom 44 Posted November 9, 2010 My hypoglycemia symptoms. Dieting used to be so hard for me. When I would cut calories I had a lot of issues with my blood sugar dropping. I would be shaky, tired, weak, sweaty. Since my first fill though I really haven't had problems anymore. I'm assuming that's b/c my food is digesting slower? It sure is nice to be without it!

Melissannde 41 Posted November 9, 2010 I hear ya on that. Since being banded I've lost most of my anxiety symptoms. Weird that eating less could affect anxiety, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samomom 19 Posted November 9, 2010 I don't think it has anything to do with how slow or fast your food is being digested, it's the amount of carbs your body isn't having to process. Carbs are a powerful thing. They control a major amount of our blood sugar levels. Since cutting out carbs for the past 6 weeks I haven't had a single carb craving or blood sugar crash. I love it! I think people would eat a whole lot less if they only dabbled in the carb world. I love them to no end and I find that it's very weird that I don't even want them now. To me it shows that they have an almost drug like effect. Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted November 9, 2010 I was on medication for type 2 diebetes. After loosing some weight and eating low carb. I was able to get off the med. Same goes for my blood pressure and high choloesteral meds. It was very exciting, a great doctor visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
