Have you guys tried James H's wagon plan diet?  Also, I changed up my multivitamin/mineral supplement and all of a sudden I am NOT hungry.  To the point that I have to remind myself to eat and when I do, it's just a little because I really don't care to eat.  I'll probably have an egg for breakfast, a chicken leg for lunch and 1/2 a chicken breast with some broccolli for dinner and i'm fine.  Now I just started this a few days ago so I don't know if it's the vitamins/minerals or what.  But I'm taking a centrum multimineral/vitamin supplement, a calcium supplement with zinc and magnesium and a b complex supplement.

I so feel  you girl! I am the same except fo the passing out part. I went to the Dr. my iron was way low I am very anemic. I was not taking my supplements. Eating things I shouldn't be eating!  I statred taking the supplements,iron B complex, and  B-12 shots. I have not changed the eating part. I've gained 5 lbs back but it feels like more than that! It's scary to think that it can all come back. I also feel like a failure. It's been about three weeks since I've started taking the supplements I feel a little better. My problem is that I'm always hungry so I snack all day. Dr. told me that when I get hungry to  drink 8oz glass of water and eat 10 almonds. One by one not all at once. It works sometimes depends on my mind set for the day! Sometimes I can Pysch myself out. Good Luck Girlie I know I needed it!

I totally agree with Share's comments.  Also, honey you seem to be all over the place.  Go back to the days after your surgery when you were on protein, fluids and a few complex carbs. Slow down, your family needs you and a healthy you.  You are a delicate person and you must treat your self with the delicacy you deserve right now.  Keep us posted!  KIM M>>

I haven't posted in quite some time.  I am having some issues and decided to come to the board to get some advice.  My blood sugar gets so low, I've passed out while grocery shopping in walmart only to awaken with the basket flipped over and al of my groceries having flown out of the basket.  My blood sugar gets as low as 19.  When I "feel it" getting low, it's usually in the 30's.  I start consuming sugar to get it up and it takes HOURS for it to get back up to the point that it's sky rocket high by the time it does get up and I literally go into an almost "diabetic coma".  I feel drained and literally just fall asleep only to wake up 30min to an hour later wondering what time it is, what day is it, and what was I doing before I fell asleep?!  My friend was laughing last night when she thought about a time where she had some mini nilla wafers (LOVE them!).  I'm like ok, I'll have a few, knowing that I MAJORLY dump (heart races, I sweat, get REALLY hot and dizzy). So I have some and must have ate TOO many to where she comes out to find me passed out on the couch.  I finally wake up dazed and confused and she's like, WTH?!!!!  I mean it happens ALL Of the time to where I am a single parent to 4 and 5 year old little girls.  When I finally wake up from my "diabetic coma", they will say "mom, we kept trying to wake you up but you wouldn't!".   I get scared they won't know whether to call for hel*****t because they are used to me passing out like that.  I've even tested them and pretended to be comatose, and they will come in and slap me around and call me and I just don't move and they're like, oh ok, she's sleeping and won't get up, we'll just wait till she gets up". That is NOT cool!!!!  I have explained this to the Dr. over and over.  I've also explained that I am so fatigued, I have no energy.  When I eat, I get SOOOO sleepy and feel like something is sucking the life out of me to where my BF and I will have plans to go out or work out, and I'll eat, sit on the couch, fall asleep and an hour or two later he's mad at me because I "went into a coma" and ruined our plans!  I LOVE to workout, but at times I am SOOOO fatigued and drained.  I feel like I'm carrying around a 400 pound body!  I am up 20 pounds from my lowest weight and I don't know WHAT the heck to do.  I don't understand what is going on!  I don't eat nearly as bad as I used to.  I don't drink sugary drinks.  I HAVE started becoming addicted to carbs again.........maybe that's it?  I mean I don't understand how I can consume 1000 to 1500 calories a day, then go workout and burn off 500 calories and STILL gain weight!  I took hoodia for two weeks last month and lost 15 pounds and I stopped taking them because I was getting addicted to the energy (I LOVED IT!).  Well, I gained those 15 pounds back!  I just don't know WHAT to do!  I never reached goal and I was only 18 pounds away from my goal, now I'm 28 pounds away?!  ARGGHHH!!! This is so frustrating!  That's why I haven't even posted or come to this site in a while because I feel like a failure!  But I've noticed that most people just don't say anything because noone else is.   Well, I'm going to say something!  I'm not a newbie.  So everything is not all gravy.  The weight is not just falling off.  I feel like I have OCD as far as dieting and exercising and weight are concerned.  I do WW, You on a diet, low carb, South Beach, Low fat.  I mean I'm doing every diet possible just to try to get back to where I was and the scale just moves up and up. 

Ok.........I've rambled enough.  Any advice?

I/m in the same boat.  I want to eat all of the time.  I have got on a trail mix kick lately and can't break it.  I am going to try to eliminate the carbs and see if that helps, but I can feel the pants starting to tighten and it scares me to death. Keep me posted on your success. Kim
