(XP) Almost Passed Out Today ...

Yikes that definitely sounds scary - but do try g=to get in lots of H20.  What I do is drin**** tea all day - I use Instant and its decaf - buy it at walmart....that at least helps get in the water and it tastes good.....also some peach tea/crystal lite (or walmart brand is cheaper)  do whatever  you can do to get tha****er in.

Plus I drink lots of water from my special water machine....its Kangan water and it is very alkaline - to rid my body of all the acid.  THis water is amazing.  THere have been many studies done that have pointed to acidity as one of the causes of obesity.  The higlhy alkaline water is what out bodies need to get rid of all the acidity.  Also studies done that prove that many people have been able to go off most of their meds - like Blood Pressure, diabetes, and others - just by alkalizing their body.  I truly believe this water is the reason I healed so quickly from surgery and have had no complications what so ever - I highly recommend this water machine.....although it is not cheap - it is well worth the money in my opinion.  (IF anyone is interested - shoot me a pm and I can giv eyou more details)

Ok well, time for a cup of coffee and the newspaper....

Drink tha****er girl and stay hydrated......

Jean, I do need to find some mix-ins for my water that I will actually use ... I am good with them for a while, and then I get tired of them, and then I get tired of plain water and then I start slacking. *sigh* But after yesterday, I think I have learned my lesson!

YUP, sounds like you needed me in you life!.. Drink up!!

LOL! Thanks!

Check into reactive hypoglycemia.... this happens to me.. about and hour or so after eating a carb loaded snack.. the times it happens is if I have not eaten before eating those things for an extended period... ( otherwise i dont seem to have the not eating for long period type of hypoglycemia) from what i understand .. we tend to release more insulin than we need at times like that and it lowers our blood sugar very low.. Mine has gone down to the 40s when this happens.. I get lightheaded... dizzy..very frazzled.. shakes..feel like iam going to pass out.. A simple solution is something sweet like juice followed by protien... It can be dangerous if your blood sugar goes too low .. but like i said it is an easy fix.
Good luck!

Faith, thanks for the advice. How do you get diagnosed with something like that?
