Feeling yucky and tierd of it!

I need some help please...I will be the first to admit that I have not done everything exactly they way I should have since my RNY 2 years ago, perhaps the couple of problems that I am experiencing now are a result of that. My first problem is that every time I eat I feel very yucky after. I have no energy and I have to lie down for a bit till it passes. It is not a feeling of fullness or Nasua. It almost feels like low BS perhaps. My BS never is above 121 but averages around 112 even after eating. Any one experience anything like this or have an idea what could be going on?
Also I am bipolar and take meds to control it. I am very weepy and moody and I think that I may have an issue with absorption with my meds. Has anyone had good luck with any? I currently take Depocoate 1000 mg, Abilify 10mg and Neurontin 900 mg.

Thanks

Not to be mean or anything, but maybe just try to eat right and see how you feel??? Give it a chance and after a bit of time goes by and you still feel like that, go see your doctor. Your Doctor is going to tell you to take better care of yourself and eat right. So may as well start now and see how you feel.

Never squat with your spurs on.

Your not being mean, but I thought I would let you know that we had the same surgeon. He is great!! I fallow his diet guidelines and I have found several foods that are on the plan that I do not tolerate at all well. So I avoid them. I feel yucky after eating anything. I am still in the habit of monitoring my portions as well so that I am not over eating. It is like a crashing feeling after I eat. Labs are all current and fine as well. I am just very puzzled. The Dr. seems to think that I am doing well and he is happy with where my weight is even though I will I could loose a bit more. I dono, just frustrated. Anyone else have any input or ideas?

I too am having problems liking food. SO many make me feel crappy, not tired, just don't feel good. Let me take one issue at a time. A blood sugar of 112 after eating is a normal blood sugar. Blood sugars should run around 90-110. Try taking it your blood sugar when you first get up in the morning before you eat anything. If you have low blood sugar, you will know it. I went through an episode not 3 weeks ago where my blood sugar went down to 44. Now I am eagting more regular and feel a little better. Second, how are your vitamin level doing? You didn't mention anything about what you are taking. How's your iron level, b12 and the rest. If you don't know, I suggest calling your WLS and having your blood work done.

Now as to bi-polar, talk to the doctor that prescribed the meds and tell him how you are feeling. I too suffer from it and I take my meds everyday, but still there are days that are down. Remember tiredness is a symptom of depression. I think calling your doctor, your primary, and your WLS is a good place to start. It really isn't normal to feel bad.

Keep in touch and let us know what is happening

Good luck, Diane

Hey,

Are you eating a lot of carbs at each meal? I know that I get that "food coma" feeling like you described if I eat too many carbs. Maybe keep a food diary for a week or so and faithfully write down everything you eat and the reactions that you have after the meal. Maybe a pattern will emerge?

Best of luck to you,

I have used Neurontin..it is known for causing drowsiness. When I use it for diabetic neuropathy...(only at night/bedtime) the next day I feel quite groggy. Speak with the doctor...see if you can get by with less of a dose,, and maybe just at bedtime. I feel lucky that with my BS under control for a few years now..i don't need the Neurontin as much.
