I have become hypoglycemi****ep having huge drops in my blood suger, I started checking it because I was feeling shaky, sweaty, etc. like dumping syndrome only not eating sugar and it's about 3 - 4 hours after eat. I talked to a dietician today who told me to do a food journal, eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and call her Monday. The times I've checked my blood sugar it's been around 65. Anyone else having this problem. I'm also having very low 80/50 blood pressure and drinking a lot of water, but as a result of low bp and low bs tired. I'm going to see my primary care doctor Saturday. I'm still loosing weight, although is finally slowing way down, which is a good thing. Dianne 340/142

No.. I DID stop working out. I was paying $800 bucks a month and well, didnt fit within my budget. Not to mention I started traveling and didnt feel like working it within my routine. Albeit, I still watch my calories.. Which means I shouldnt be gaining so quickly. I finally gave in and called Dr. N.. I see him Sept 20th. I have not had my labs done is 6 months, so its about time. 116 pounds!!! Good for you.. Size 4.. Now your smaller than me

Hi Jamie - Exercise is the answer if that's what you changed. Are you still working with a trainer? I seem to have the opposite problem even though I'm not as small as you. If I exercise a lot and don't make up for it in eating more I lose - a couple of pounds. I don't seem to have trouble gaining it back but I do have to eat consciously. In my wildest dreams I never thought I'd ever say that I don't want to lose any more weight but at 116 and a size 4 I'm very pleased and don't want to lose any more, especially in my face. Three or 4 times a week is about optimal for exercise for me - do you do that much? And maybe your body is just finding a healthier weight. How are your blood tests? Would love to see you. Ruth

Hi Hon, Long time no post. Lordy, I hear your desparation and I'm sorry things are tough for you right now. But, what's your BMI...and are the jet skiing pics recent...if so, you look as awesome as ever! You look like you are in fantastic shape. So try to keep that in perspective. Next, I gained back about 5lbs at about the 8th month...yikes. So I started logging my food intake into FITDAY.com again. And I was really surprised to see how many calories I was getting in in a day. Soooo, I recommitted myself to getting my diet a little 'cleaner' in terms of protien first (though I still endulge on the occasional candy, etc). I don't do shakes, cuz they don't keep me full. And I logged my food intake daily...to every last bite. I also have a pretty strict - 6 day a week work out routine. I run three and to curcuit trianing / weights the other 3. All that being said, you and I weigh basically the same...I'm 137 and 5'4". I never expected to get under 145, so I'm pretty happy...its just a different perspective. As far as malabsrobtion goes, I never really felt like I was malabsorbing. I don't think they bypassed much of my intenstine which is what causes the malabsorption. I just couldn't eat much for the first 8 months. I can eat a lot more now (with out feeling like I'm overindulging), so my workout routine is critical to my maintenance. Anyway...just some thoughts...I want you to know I support you and wish you well. Talk with your surgeon and keep us posted on progress. Rachel

Hi everyone, I have a question about fixing my profile. Right now it seems all my comments are consolidated to above one picture. How do I move my postings to differnt spots, as if I wanted to make the post by date. Also can anyone tell me how to post a chart so that it is easy to read. I also notice many of you have numerous pictures and other links. How did you do that? Thanks. Lori
