WOW! its great to know I am not alone. Had my RNY June of 0**** 100lb weight loss, started getting into a size 10 (from a 28-30). Finally leveled off at about 80lb loss. I felt (and looked) GREAT!! I maintained that loss for a few year. Over the last several months have had a few medical problems that stopped me from any exercise. (dont be fooled I am not a die hard when it comes to working out). I have my three meals a day and make sure I am getting my protein. Could be better about the water. But its the in between grazing and the no exercise. I know I have to get myself back into some form of exercise. If you have a "snack' what do you usually have? I also have an issue at times where I get the shakes, break out in a wicked sweat. I typically grab a few m&m's and within about 20-30 minutes I am fine. Does this happen to anyone else. I have had my sugar tested and I am in normal ranges for sugar.
Thoughts/Suggestions.

thanks everyone!

Sounds like your blood sugar is fluxuating too much..too many carbs in your snacking usually causes that. Yeah, m&ms will fix it temporarilly but there isn't any protein in that. It becomes a vicious cycle.

I eat three meals and at least two snacks and sometimes a snack before I go to bed. Most snacks and meals are dense protein forward or high fiber so that it keeps my sugar level or at least not dropping. I can't eat anything like breads, rice, pasta without a sugar dip happening.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Thanks for  your reply. When you did eat the carbs, did you also have alot of bloating? and if you were to 'release' could you clear out a truck stop? Sorry, trying to not be too gross, but... I have that issue and it can be VERY embarassing.
thanks,

Nothing causes noxious gas like white carbs do..my husband complains that I leave a smelly vapor trail! Once when we were shopping I let one go in an isle that no one was in..right after I moved away a woman pushing a cart with a small child came through there. The mom asked the little boy "Did you poop in your pants?" The little boy denied it but the mom sniffed his back end anyway..Poor kid! Accused because of the smell I left in that isle..
