6 days out from slip band revision surgery and having awful time with hypoglycemia
Six years ago when I had my original band, which was put in my another facility/doctor, I felt the exact same way and didn't pull out of it until i went on to pureed food. I specifically remember pureeing a can of campbells vegetable soup (can't remember if it was vegetable beef though) and I immediatelly felt better with more energy. I'm also so sick of all the sweet protein drinks.
I hope the pb helped (and I wouldn't have done that either w/o calling, but that's just me).
Hang in there.
Thank you Lisa. I did end up calling the doctor on call at the hospital since the clinic doesn't actually have an afterhours person to talk to. She told me to put sugar on my tongue, but I told her I'm already taking glucose pills which are only helping for about an hour, so she told me to put some peanut butter in my smoothies and make sure it gets blended really well. Thats what I had actually done this morning so I guess I didn't do anything bad. Now my problem is that everything is so darn sweet I feel like I'm on the verge of screaming if I have one more sweet smoothy. I'm trying to hold out until Monday but it sure is hard. I'm in that phase right now of wishing I would have told them to just take the darn thing out.

Have you tried something like Propel water? It has just enough sugar to bring your blood sugar up without the spikes causing more hypoglycemia.
