RJC5197 282 Posted July 14, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pammieanne 269 Posted July 14, 2016 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejenn 173 Posted July 14, 2016 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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try some more complex carbs. fruit juice or milk in the morning would be a quick fix for the shakiness in the morning.
