Please Help
I'm 14 months out from RNY and have reached my goal weight of 145. The last 2 weeks I've felt pretty bad. It started with 3 fainting episodes in 2 days. Since then I've felt shaky, muscle jerks, brain fogginess & word difficulty, dizzy, head discomfort, heart palpitations. I was hospitalized and had head C.T., brain and neck MRI, carotid ultrasound, EEG, blood work. All okay. I eat 60-70mg of protein, drink 60 oz of water. I stay away from junky food. I'm on a cardiac monitor. Where should I look now? I was type 2 diabetic before RNY
Any suggestions?????
Thanks

Does this happen when you eat certain foods like carbs? Bread, pasta, even sugar free stuff?
Give reactive hypoglycemia a try..I was type 2 diabetic before surgery and now I have RH..

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

I stay completely clear of refined sugar and white carbs and make sure that I eat a protein with any carbs that lean in that direction. It works for me. I had to increase my carbs recently due to a gallbladder incident but I'm always pairing it with something that's more difficult to digest..

Just happened to see your post and had to reply. About a year ago I started having the same symptoms. I too thought it was low blood suger, so went to my doctor. It turned out to be anxiety attacks. Im now on a low dose anti anxiety medication. You might mention that to your doctor. I never knew when they were going to strike, and was sure it was a low blood sugar attack. Doctor said symptoms are similar.
