Feeling shakey in the AM

[applejenn 173]

I'm 8 weeks post op and have been feeling shaky when I get up in the morning. I get my fluids and Protein and I eat fine.

Any suggestions??

This is something I would talk to my NUT and/or surgeon about.

Maybe too little or no carbs, especially B4 bedtime?

I had a hard time sleeping and waking up in middle of night, as well as feeling sluggish first thing.

I found out that eating low carb does cause this.

I added about 10 of my daily carbs with Protein as evening snack, and for me it made a big difference.

This is my experience, but would suggest talking to your NUT.

Maybe your blood sugars are low?

Have you started B12 injections yet? I've noticed an improvement when I started that.

I'm jealous that you can eat anything... I'm still really struggling with meat. I miss meats.... LOL

When you talk to the doc, let us know what he says!

All my labs are fine dr hasn't said anything about injections. He said could be low sugar so I'm going to have some juice before and eat before bed. See if that helps

Have you run this by your NUT? I would think complex carbs or even a piece of fresh fruit would be much better than fruit juice.

How are your electrolytes?.... i find when i am low on potassium i wake up shakey in the morning

[applejenn 173]

Not sure about electrolytes. How is that tested? Just had labs done last week and everything was fine.

I wouldn't do fruit juice. That's mostly sugar and may make it worse. Try some more complex carbs. fruit juice or milk in the morning would be a quick fix for the shakiness in the morning.

I was like that and get really sick feeling when I'm hungry so I will quickly drink my Protein and it makes me feel a ton better
