P.S.
Some of us with Rny react badly to the whey isolate protein drinks (i.e. Nectars, etc). with a shakey DUMP! You may consider using the blends instead.
I used the Matrix protein drink vs the nectars even though they are both made by the same company (syntrax). The Champion Pure Whey STack flavors don't usually cause any dumping either.
Also......high fat foods can send you into the same dive so it's not just a sugar thing for everyone. Consider your diet. Journal your food so you can talk shop with your doc.
Take care,

Laura,
I had it badly (don't have it any longer cuz no dumping with DS).
BEST diet plan for as recommended by medical:
NEVER eat a carb alone!!!
Eating? Pair whatever you eat with a healthy protein. Keep your carbs limited to low glycemic (strawberries vs banana, greens vs corn/potato).
Eat some type of protein every 2 hours (small 2 oz portions are fine and lowfat, lean proteins are best if you're still trying to lose).
The best eating plan I ever went on was called the 2 hours protein plan:
You eat OR drink every waking hours of the day!!
Example: 7 am protein drink 8 a.m. water 9 a.m. egg & 1 pc of turkey bacon 10 a.m. water, 11 a.m. protein drink, 12 water, 1 two oz grilled chicken with salad and lowfat dressing, 2 water, 3 protein drink, 4 water, 5 three oz grilled fish, stir fry veggies in EVOO, 6 water, 7 protein drink, 8 water, 9 1/4 to half cup of lowfat cottage cheese with berries.
You will not only ditch your reacctive hypoglycemia with that diet but your high protein - low carb intake will put you into ketosis and you'll LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!!
Good luck! having the shakes and needing to sleep is craziness. Whatever you do....don't pull yourself out of an episode with sugar!!!! You'll find yourself into another dive in 2 to 4 hours! Protein is your source that will stabilize the highs and lows!
Check with your doc!

Topic: RE: FISH OIL
My PCP told me to take it so I bought some. NASTY!
I've heard if you refrigerate it, that helps with the bad taste.
But didn't Michelle (Vitalady) say that we wouldn't absorb it anyhow? It's oil based.

Topic: RE: Dumping - reactive hypoglycemia
Laura,
I've (so far anyhow) never had RH, but I've read a lot on the boards about it. The best advice seems to be to eat small frequent meals and to keep a snack pack of peanut butter crackers (use an old glasses case so they don't turn into crumbs) on hand. They work best to take care of the symptoms.
If you don't read the Yahoo Grad board, there's a lot of info on it there. Melting Mama has written about it a lot as well.
Good luck!

Topic: Dumping - reactive hypoglycemia
Has anyone had problems with reactive hypoglycemia? It is a kind of dumping that takes place a few hours after eating. I'm 5 years out (RYN bypass - out of state) and about 6 months ago I started having problems with feeling shakey, nauseous, dizzy, and like I was going to pass out. I try to eat every few hours but sometimes still feel sick and a few times I had to take glucose tabs, which I carry all the time now. I'm in the process of looking for a new primary care Dr (recommendations for N. Phoenix welcomed!) in hopes that I can figure out how to get a handle on this.
If you've experienced this type of dumping what you have found to be helpful? Are there certain foods, supplements, or tricks that you've used to prevent the dumping?
Thanks SO much!!!

Topic: Diabetic help
I am looking for a good endocrinologist for a friend of mine. I am sharing my journey towards bariatric surgery with her and she has been told by her pcp that she qualifies for the surgery as well but her pcp is horrible with assisting her in finding anyone. I am hoping that someone on this forum knows of a good doctor that she can start seeing in Tucson who can then assist her with getting her sugars back on track and her options for weight loss. Thank you!

Good luck with your testing on Friday. That's good news though, right? .......A big step closer to getting your plan together!!!
Enjoy your swimming!!! I've been trying to float in my pool a little each day while still keeping my incision area dry. I can't wait to be turned loose to actually swim!!
Let us know how we can support you, K?!!! Good luck!

Hey Jean,
So glad to hear you figured out the pain thing. Overdoing is understandable. I've been homebound this week cuz I pushed myself too much over the weekend and am still recovering from surgery. Not good.
I hope you can find your sweet spot soon! It's frustrating to get the fill, unfill, fill ......lose, gain, lose thing going on. It takes a while to figure out which foods help you on your journey best too.
Stay away from those slider foods!!!! It seems like the foods that go down easy are the ones that have a zillion calories with them too. Darn it!!
huggggzzz,
