honk 780 Posted October 29, 2012 I don't know if I would say it's normal but your calorie intake is probably low. I would recommend spacing out your food intake which might help your blood sugar levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reina00 13 Posted October 29, 2012 I'm not diabetic and I really don't eat much I had a protine shake this morning like 6am and three table spoons of Greek plain yogurt with 1/2 prepacked Jello for lunch one spoon of mac and cheese it tasted gross to me the other day it was the best thing in the world I've have been ok till today? Thanks for comments back I'm glad I have yall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this sucks 557 Posted October 29, 2012 I think a shortage of Protein is what's going on. Three tablespoons of Greek yogurt has about three grams of protein, Jello has zero, mac and cheese has little to none. if you dont want solid food yet, then keep some Protein Shakes available. I plan my day with three small meals and three Snacks with a total of 60-80 grams of protein per day. You don't need to be diabetic to have blood sugar issues.

this sucks 557 Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks I'm going to drink more protine shakes they just fill me up so much Ughhhhh but thanks for Ur help!! You can try other Protein sources if you are on a full diet now. String cheese, nuts, lean deli meat, are a few that I use. I also use hard cooked eggs, I remove the yolks, and they only have 34 calories with 15 grams of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bmurillo 10 Posted October 30, 2012 I was banded on 9/21/12 i have only lost 24 lbs im very happy about it but my weight loss is at a stand still the last week and a half i don't feel like ive lost enough..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wgbem 138 Posted October 30, 2012 Bmurillo That is the problem I am having. Some of our friends on this board discussed me not taking in enough calories. I get about 900 daily and add exercise and it is less. I am going to increase my intake a bit and see how that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted October 30, 2012 You don't have to be diabetic to get shaky with low blood sugar. Since having surgery the fact that I eat lower carb I don't have as much blood sugar spikes as I did previously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starshine33 38 Posted October 31, 2012 Day 12 I just got very dizzy and shaky is this normal?? Your glucose might be low. I have hypoglycemia and I get shaky, light headed, legs get weak sometimes. You can buy glucose tablets or take a spoon of Peanut Butter. That's what the nurse at band doc told me as well. You need more carbs with all the Protein.
