Try upping your carb intake for now.  Your doc could get you on pancreatic enzymes to increase your absorption.

I am now eating all day and night, candy, chips, pretzels, good carbs and tons of meat and veggies, Most carbs make me sleep and if i fight it I am in danger of just passing out. pasta rice and bread are the worst, I actually can handle real sugar like never before.

it sounds like digestive enzyme theapy might be worth a try, then.  Be sure to mention it to your doc.

Drink with your meals, and add carbs, and snacks.

Good Luck to you.

Oh you're certainly not alone. I've met quite a few people who have had this problem. Some created the problem with their eating habits and some, like me, just lost no matter what I ate (I eat eveything!) - I had to just add even more carbs etc...yet I never would have thought, because I was already eating a lot....but I nipped it in the bud, and am doing great now :-)
