Hypoglycemia - help

Yeah, I work the night shift too. I'm a Pharmacist at a Hospital. It happened to me once after I worked all night, then tried to wait till the next night to go to sleep. Now, even if I don't have to work again the next night, I still take a 3-4 hr nap or more if I don't get disturbed by the family.

I hadn't slept the night prior but a couple hours then went to work again for 12 hours so even with that 5 hour "nap" i did not feel rested at all.. felt terrible actually.. always gives me head hunger and munchies but I still ate "right", I rarely go off my plan.. but I bottomed all day into the night and into the morning.  I think I dropped 5 times.. it was hell (pardon my french) and it took way too many calories overall to get me back to baseline and I worry that this will have me gaining weight eventually.. argh.. again thank you.

Thank goodness I checked this out today!  I thought I was going crazy! I am almost three years post op RNY and a facilitator of a local support group.  I have been having issues of low blood sugar recently, and thought I was going a bit nuts, I am glad (sort of) that I am not the only one!  I seem to be having trouble in the evenings, when I am done eating for the day.  I have gained back 10lbs and have been trying to lose, I have upped the exercise and lowered the calories.  Maybe I have lowered too much.  I generally get about 85-100 gms of protein(all vegetarian) and 80oz.of water, I try to keep calories at 1100, but have cut back to 800 in an effort to lose.  I do cardio for an hour 5 days a week and weights 3-4 times a week and have been stuck with this 10lbs for about 3 months, all of a sudden I have started with the low blood sugar.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Any ideas would be helpful.  Thanks-Angela
