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.

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.

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>

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.

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.

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.

      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.
