Topic: RE: Hypoglycemia quandary and question

If I eat pancakes, even with protein, I have RH, same with a soft pretzel, though often if I have one of those, I am at a ballpark or some such place, so generally not had it with a good protein source, but I find that a high carb of that variety causes a big crash about an hour or so later. . . and I agree with Jill, the numbers you're talking are dangerous lows.

Others have spoken about that condition at meetings and one of the suggestions given was about eating a balanced meal of healthy carb and protein and eating by the clock, not less than 2 to 2.5 hours in between "small" meals.

T, do you food log at all, because maybe you should for a period of time, just to see when the reaction is it's worst, it will help the nutritionist to give you good advice as well, though I'm sure she can help no matter what. . .

Be well and hope you find a solution that works. . .

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Thanks for this. I'm hoping to sign up for it. I was 5 years sober when I had my surgery. Unfortunately, I was not working my AA program thoroughly, so I relapsed one year post-op. My relapse was two years of living Hell. I'm now two and a half years sober. So, this topic is very near and dear to my heart.

Hope you are doing well. God bless.

Topic: RE: Thursday - Whatcha Eating Today?

Aah, but treating myself can only be done with some things, as I've learned there are others that trigger my compulsivity and so I have to avoid those things, mostly salty stuff.

As we well know the number on the scale (or in our closet) is not where we should place our happy, but if we were only so well (lol). . .

It's good you can treat yourself and not get sucked back into compulsively eating everything in sight.

I'd be a very happy camper if the number on the scale stayed right where it is at this moment. I do tend to play with 5 pounds up and down, which could be water, I suppose.

Blessings, Jill

Topic: RE: Hypoglycemia quandary and question

Thanks for responding. I've just been postponing but I should talk to the nutritionist and will.

yes it is an awful feeling when it happens and frustrating. It's also become a big deterrent from eating certain foods like an occasional pancake or soft pretzel.

Take care,
T

Topic: RE: Hypoglycemia quandary and question

I have RH too, but it only comes if I get too much at one time, and that certainly isn't the case with a protein shake! My best guess would be that it is not enough, and that it looks like you need to add something so you don't have that drop in sugar. Isn't that feeling THE WORST? I like Laureen's advice to call your surgeon or nutitionist, and find what works fast, 'cause blood sugars that low are dangerous!

Enjoy the downward. . . I don't know why, but mine seems to stay in one general place and in the past two weeks, I must have walked 25 or more miles and even being on vacation, I ate mostly the way we are supposed to with three exceptions (Mallon's sticky bun, which I had one of over the course of 2 days and a crumb bun)

Hmmm, 71 carbs? a lot, I don't think so. . . my surgeon when I was at your point was not as concerned about the carbs (calories) as getting in proper amounts of protein and fluids; in the first year it is hard to meet those goals for many of us, but each surgeon is different, as are the various procedures. But I'd say based on your ticker, you're doing a great job!!!

Pledging to not eat beyond my full point today.

1 - 1/2 bagel with cream cheese
2 - 1/2 bagel with cream cheese
3 - salmon with veggies and rice
4 - skip
5 - going out for italian food. Not sure what I'll get, but I'll be sure to bring lots of it home!
6 - corn flakes with strawberries and blueberries.

I don't know why, but my scale has been moving in a downward direction this week. That feels really good.

Blessings, Jill
