Really shaky, what does this mean?

Sounds to me like a mild case of dumping - the mini wheats probably have too many carbs/sugars in it for you.  Usually the milk sugars aren't going to affect you as much as the carbs/sugars from the cereal (according to my NUT).  When that happens to me, I just eat some protein (just the beef stick - no crackers), but the best thing to do is to contact your surgeons office and get some advice from them.  Best of luck - it is a full time job keeping up with what will affect you and not, but it is SOOOOOO worth it!

Laurie, I think your right...... No more cereal for me. I guess I just have to stick with my eggs...... Thanks, Kelly

Kelly,  sounds similar to what happens to me when I dump, thank goodness thats only happened a couple times, yesterday being one of them...ohh it was bad!!!

I just drink lots of extra water, (I think I am trying to convince myself that it flushes bad stuff out quicker) and rest if possible. Hope you feel better.

Betsy, Missed you at coffee last night. Our farewell to Miss Lucy..........She was on cloud nine! I really do think it was from the sugar, I got a little worried, I've never had such shaky hands before. This WLS sure does bring you on quite a ride....... Kelly

you are too sweet, I actually had planned on coming, but had the opportunity to spend a quiet evening, alone with no kids, or spare kids, or anyone else, just me and hubby, it was fabulous!!! and quiet!!! tonight tho, is a different story, they will all be there to assist in the start of the yard clean up!!

Kelly...I am glad you are stopping the cereal. I agree probably too much sugar! I planned on being there last night at MG coffee and a friend side tracked me  just before I was ready to leave. She needed to use my computer to file her income tax. She always waits until the very last moment for everything. She had no internet service so I had no choice but to help her out. She couldn't do it today because of some meetings she needed to attend. I was very disappointed....I really wanted to see all of you easpecially Lucy before she left on her trip. Oh well I guess it wasn't meant to be. i am sure you had a great time!! Hugs, connie d

Connie, I thought you were coming, Bummer.....It was nice you helped out your friend.... Lucy was smiles from head to toe...........I like the week night coffee get together, sometimes the weekends get so busy...... Hope to see you soon. Kelly

At 3 yrs out I still cant do anything over 9 gr sugar in one sitting or I DUMP DUMP DUMP.  It gets very limiting!  (This is refined sugar mostly)  Hope you find your happy medium!  Lori

Lori, Wow, I've got alot of learning to do yet. Thanks for posting. Kelly

Sounds like you got some great advice here.  I have felt that way once when I ate a small bowl of my beloved Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch (with raisins and almonds) cereal.   SOOO yummy going down but I felt a bit shaky after and I haven't felt like that cereal since because I thought there was  connection between the dizzyness and the cereal.  Go****s good cereal though!   If you are bored with eggs, try string cheese or get some of that pre-cooked bacon and throw a piece or two in the microwave.  Quick and easy and you get the protein and the yum!  Sometimes I roast some raw almonds in my toaster oven (about a half of a serving (one serving is 1/4 cup so half that) by lightly coating with a tsp of olive oil in one baggy then laying on foil and shaking with a bit of salt.  Sometimes I eat them by themselves as a snack or I'll toss them in salad with a bit of cooked chicken breast and cheese - no dressing. Hang in there!   Michelle
