no sugar no flour. no fruits.. no carbs..no bread,pasta, corn, grains..

just Low carbs - higher fat diet works for me.

I don't have any special recipes.  My RH is set off if I eat too many carbs at one sitting, so I just limit them to one serving, which, for me, can be 1/2 English muffin, 1 slice of toast, 1/4 c. starch.  I eat 6 times a day, small portions, and I'm fine.  I try to identify triggers -- white rolls and pancakes always get me, so I avoid them.

Jill, what are the symptoms of RH?

Reactive hypoglycemia is a low blood sugar reaction that usually happens 1-3 hours after eating either too large a meal or too many carbs.  the symptoms are those of low blood sugar:  sweating, palpitations, confusion, dizziness, shaking, weakness, blurred vision.  In extreme cases, when the sugar drops really low and you don't catch it in time, you can pass out or even have what looks like a seizure.  It's really scary, and lots of our mutual WLS friends have lost consciousness.  Fortunately for me, I have always recognized it and eaten something quickly enough to bring my sugar back up.  I have a glucose monitor at home and have had my sugar drop to around 40!

Yes, I think I have had a couple of incidents. Different from dumping, but once nearly passed out. It scared Mike more than me, becUae I was pretty sure I would get thru it ok but tick. Yes, watching the carbs and sugars continue to be a MUST for us!

Barb at Barix told me to drink a glass of milk right away if it happens.  Of course, if I wait too long I want to eat everything in sight!

Can you give me an idea of what a typical days menu looks like for you?  Thanks.

this is my food plan:

No sugar. No fast food. No corn chips.

Meal #1 - 7:30 - 8:00 a.m.

1-2 proteins (2 eggs, or 1 egg and 1 oz ham, etc.)

1 grain (1 sl bread or ½ c. oatmeal, etc.)

(I want to be able to throw some veggies into eggs -- onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms)

Meal #2 - 10:30 a.m.

1 piece of fruit or ½ c. cut up fruit

Meal #3 - 1:00 p.m.

2 oz protein with 1 c. raw salad with 1 tbsp dressing or ½ c cooked veggie and 1 starch

OR

Lean Cuisine/Smart Ones with salad or a fruit

OR

Subway meal (turkey/flatbread/veggies/fat free or baked chips) or

McDonald’s meal (salad/grilled chicken/low fat dressing/croutons)

Meal #4 - 3:30 p.m.

Fruit or dairy (I love dannon light and fit flavored greek yogurt)

Meal #5 - 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

2-3 oz protein with ¼ c. starch and ¼ c. veggie or a salad

(I want to be able to eat 6 oz of lasagna or pizza if it’s planned in place of protein/starch -- but this will be rare)

Meal #6 - 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.

Either a single item or two different items, i.e. dairy or fruit or starch OR fruit/cheese, cereal/milk
