Blood Sugar Drop



Recommended Posts

I am 2 months post-op and this is the first time i have had an issue.

Every morning at 5:45 am I eat one cup of Special K with a 1/2 cup of 2% milk. That normally keeps me satisfied until about 9:30-10, when I eat my morning snack. This morning I started feeling hungry about 7:45 and by 8:45 I was dizzy. I got nauseated and dizzy, I knew my BS must be low. I got my snack out and when ahead and ate it. And with in 5 min I was fine again, so it had to be my sugar level.

It's my TOM, could that be causing problems with my BS? My routine this AM was no diffrent from any other for a month. I just had a fill last Thursday, so I wouldn't think I am need a fill again. I just don't want to start need more to keep my BS up, because that will mean more calories. I had my A1C (diabetic test) checked before surgery and I was fine, not even close to diabetic levels, so I don't think I am having issues with that.

Any body else had this problem?

Had same problem but it was actually my Iron and Water intake. I was getting light headed. Also make sued you are getting enough Protein too. Good luck :) ( I still go through this about two weeks after an adjustment than I feel good again) I just need to concentrate on what I need.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
