No, it isnot diabetes but rather hypoglycemia. This disorder is rarely ocurs by itself, it usually happens to people that are diabetic, but people who have had gastric bypass can develop it for some strange reason. What it is..you do not have enough sugar for your body to function properly, and our bodies actually need sugar badly to survive. So you get dizzy and all weird becuase your brain is starving for sugar. Anyway, your symptoms sounded more like gallbladder than glucose, but it is something you can check. Marcia

Thanks Sandy for the hugs and advice. But I lost my health insurance back in June - don't have a doctor to call now. SUCKS. Unfortunately, this problem IS continuing. I am getting quite sick with every meal. In fact, I've lost FIVE LBS in about four days - if that tells you anything. I'm now down from 187 to 182 in just four days. I cannot stand the thought of eating - I just get so physically ill. (Hey, but at least the two month plateau is over! LOL) I know it shouldn't be my gall bladder, as I do not have one! LOL But if anyone on this planet would be able to grow another one- it WOULD be me! LOL I'm just a freak of nature. hehe! Hopefully, this WILL pass. I guess it wil just have to b/c I don't know what to do. I have no ideas on how to fix this. I am just not eating until I absolutely have to, which right now, is about once a day - in the evening. Hopefully, I hope and pray, it will settle down. I've taken all the phenergen (sp?) that I've had on hand.

Ida - Congratulations on your weight loss surgery, and Sunday will be one month for you-a huge milestone! Hang in there sweetie! The next year will go by so fast! I am almost 11 months out and I still use protein drinks on most days. The one I like the best is called EAS AdvantEdge, it's kinda fruity, 60 calories and 15 grams of protein. I especially like it mixed with Crystal Light. Hang in there, you can do it, the hard part is over. Good luck to you! Sandy K. (-122)

Hey Sept Board, I'm so excited and happy I got my shrinking bootie in a size 12 (YES 12) jeans this morn! Ooooh Myyyyyy Gooooodness - I think it was high school last time I could wear 12 - and they are NOT the stretchy ones either. Yall have a great day! - hugs - dea

I have been doing the exact same thing. My doc has checked my gall bladder. I had a HIDA scan yesterday. He is certain that is what is causing it, but I also was having pains in my chest. I though I was having a heartattack. Maybe you should ask your doc. Oh, also my blood sugar drops sometimes and I do this, but it is not usually after I eat. Marcia
