Odd Jittery Feeling..

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I think maybe its because i haven't been having any carbs or sugar, just Protein and Water...

Maybe today i might add some good carbs and see if that helps a little... its just such an off feeling... at least with dumping i know what it is... this is just a shakey jitter weakness on the inside...its hard to describe

Yogurt, a spoonful of applesauce, Gatorade diluted 50/50 with Water, a Protein Drink that has low carbs...

Just a bit to balance you out. Works wonders.

Well i was 5.5mmol AFTER i ate yesterday when i tested my blood glucose.. so it could very well be low blood sugar.. they say it should be higher than that after eating... but that stuff never made sense to me.

Ill try your suggestions and see how i feel... now i just have to suck it up and get through my day at work without getting under my desk for a nap lol and it's freezing today here.. brrr.. i hate winter!

Well... wouldn't you know... i had some carbs and within 5 mins the shakes are gone.... thank god!! Guess it was low blood sugar afterall

Hey all.... just a question that perhaps some of you have been through.

Im really jittery and shakey, on the inside...

I got home from work and was fine... had a fish filet (standard portion) for dinner with a tiny bit of tartare sauce (teaspoon) and around 30 min later i am jittery and shakey... it doesn't feel like dumping, i am very hydrated. .. so I'm not sure what this could be... it has me concerned as i feel odd...

Obviously if this continues i will go to the doctor... but I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this..

If youre very dehydrated like you mentioned, that could definitely be the cause.

Thank you for replying... this was the first thing i checked.. i had gone above my daily Water requirement.. and my Protein was also good.

My body must have needed some carbs/sugars... cause ive had barely any since surgery 5 weeks ago... i had some today and it got rid of it... i guess i need to be little less strict with the carbs.. my body must need some

I'm a little scared of having issues like this. I've had a couple of mornings while on the pre-op diet where I have been a little lightheaded in the morning until I had something to eat with some carbs in it. Live and learn, right?

Yes.. i guess it worried me a little as i never had it before... i had the band for years... so i knew how most weird feelings were like.

When i was banded Ive had dumping and dizziness from dehydration, ive had weaknesses from Vitamin deficiency...etc.. but not this... so glad it passed

Protein is good.

Carbs are also good.

So are fats.

And other things, if there are any other things.

P.S. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Glad you figured it out.

[KristenLe 5,979]

My plan recommends good carbs. Glad you are feeling better.

What kind of fish? I found that the sauce on one of the gorton's grilled fish selections was too greasy and made me a bit woozy.

[NeedaBreak4Me 1,755]

I only buy fresh fish... I'm not a fan of frozen... i didn't put anything on it other than salt n pepper... i did have a teaspoon of tartare sauce... but it has 0.7g of carbs per tablespoon. . So i doubt that was the issue.

My plan allows good carbs... but because i am still early out.. I'm trying to get my Protein and nutrients first.. i gotta little tummy now... so i gotta prioritize.. carbs or protein... but since it happened i have allowed myself a small amount of carbs per day... feeling back to normal now...

Funny though i am craving chocolate today grrr bloody hormones!! I think TOTM is going to be my difficult time ... but im not going fail.. the chocolate is not entering my shopping cart!!

What do you guys do for TOTM chocolate cravings?

100 after eating is probably a little low but a good number-- blood sugar numbers post surgery I don't have much experience with yet lol.. .this will definitely be something I talk to the NUT about when I see her on Thursday.. we're so low carb that they will be much lower than any "normal" from before surgery.
