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.

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!

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
