Low blood sugar

i had gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday. My blood sugar gets down below the place I feel okay which is 80 or above , and it's been in the low 70's. How do I keep my blood sugar level up?

You need protein to keep your blood sugar level, but definitely bring it up to your doc.  You may need meds in the meantime before your body catches up.

In the low 70s is not too low for blood sugar. Talk to your doc, but mine is usually in the low 70s in the morning.

Since my gastric sleeve surgery 10/14/14 I have had many low blood sugars which have caused me to faint. I am now considered hypoglycemic and had to go back to my nut. to redo my eating plan. Staying away from high glycemic foods and eating small portions 6 times a day has been helping.

My bs is in the 70s every morning, that is normal, mine just crashed to 45 tonigh after eating some chicken with a sauce that was obviously too sweet.  Because it was so low I ate something sweet to bring it up and nothing else, so it crashed again, this time some juice and then some cheese for protein.  Balance is the key.

70's is a normal fasting blood sugar.  

70 may be a normal fasting blood sugar; however, when my blood sugar is below 80 I become extremely fatigued, clammy, shaky, and feel overall yukky.

I get it, trust me.  I was an insulin dependent diabetic for YEARS.  The reason you feel that way is that your body has become used to abnormal glucose levels.  

Your fasting number is normal.  Your body will adjust -- and be far healthier for it.  Obviously, if you haven't been taken off of your medications since surgery, you should call your dr to have that adjusted.  BUT you do NOT have to eat for it.
