Hi! I had RNY gastric bypass a little over a year ago. I'm looking for a new support group that is a bit more active in discussions. I'm so happy that I found this group. I started my journey at 417lbs. Currently, I'm at 197lbs. I've been blogging my journey, but have had a lot of struggles making myself post new entries because of some backlash. The writing process helps me to stay honest with myself. I'd love some feedback from people who know the struggles and rewards. I'd appreciate your opinions!

Thanks for the advice, did watch the movie, it was awesome and yes, it makes you think about it, seriously.
This is what I have been doing since 15OCT16, and I have lost 27+ of a 90 pound regain. Protein, lean meat, low carb veggies, water, EXERCISE - and work... This is my life right now. But that's what I need and what I want.

Going back in for a nip and tuck. Tighten the tummy. All my tests came back perfect. I've lost 27+ pounds since talking to my surgeon on 15OCT16. Now I'm just working away like I did after my surgery.

This sounds like reactive hypoglycemia. I have experience this since my early days of being post op, but there was not much info on it and I always thought it was dumping.
Here is an article regarding the RH, maybe you can determine if in fact this is what you are having.

Just be careful. I would experience this with potatoes and beans as well. I also find that if I am eating more protein(meats) that I don't have as many issues. So, sticking to what we should be doing anyway with eating protein first is always a good idea.
Thank you so much! After the doctor appointment last week, I was in tears. I can't believe it is all in my head!! It doesn't feel like a panic attack, or at least compared with the few that I have had. I'm doing whole30 right now, for the new year, so carbs are out. We'll see if I have any episodes this month.
Thank you again for your reply.
Hi Darleen,
I myself have these episodes and it usually relates to blood sugar. I am almost 8 years out and especially if I eat carbs I get these crashes. I sweat like crazy, my vision gets blurry, I get dizzy, and my anxiety goes through the roof. I say it's like being drunk without the fun. I also have depression and anxiety and this doesnt have anything to do with that. Talk to your doctor about your blood sugar, keep a food journal to see if there may be certain foods that trigger this. There is a potential for hypoglycemia.
I hope this helps,
Alea
