Afternoon Tea Time! Low Blood Sugar....

Hey Everyone,

Are you finding now that you have cut out the junk and getting back to the basics do you have low blood sugar attacks?  I ended up not eating all my protein through out the day and found after a very good dinner we got home and it hit....

Hot, then cold, shaking, sweats and I barely remember getting the words out orange juice and that was it....  MY DH said I didn't make much sense after that.  I woke up and it was 4:00AM.  

I have had this happen before and now that the sugar is cut out of my food intake I guess we have to make sure we keep the blood sugar levels even...

Has this happen to you? 

Take care,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Only happens when I eat the wrong foods, white carbs, sugar etc.  They have linked this with an enlarged stoma and finding that more and more postops are getting this.  No, I have not had the stoma size checked but it makes sense.  Mine is more reactive though to what I eat not b/c i didn't eat.  If that makes sense.  Even too many beans or whole grains I am dropping. I have ot be very careful.

Wow Melissa,

Thanks...that is what surprised me it was right after we went out to dinner and I had fish, salad and veggies.  It had to be something I was not aware of but it hit me like a ton of bricks and I swear I didn't sleep that night it was more like passing out.

I will be more careful!!

Take care,
Kathy

**Hijack** Hey Melissa!! Your hair cut is too cute!! How have you been?  You look MAH VA LOUS!!! 

Hey hey girlie!! I am doing great!  Thanks for the shout out :)  How are you?!?!  It is bitter cold here in Iowa, been having ridiculous temps like -25 as a LOW.  I mean really and -10 as a HIGH.  UGH! Other than that.. ok, just hibernating and having a HUGE case of cabin fever, making food choices not the best these days (excuse I know) but I am about go BATTY!

Girl I feel you on the cold...we are thankfully not as cold as you are but its cold...and they even closed schools today due to the cold weather!  It was like 12 degrees this morning and with the windchill they said zero degrees...I am like are you serious? lol And yes the eating is definitely a challenge when you are stuck in the I am finding that it really is true if you don't bring it into the house you will not do so bad....the last few days I have wanted to crunch and munch on something and I had nothing there do eat on so I had to find something else to do. lol So no if I can just keep all 700 of my co workers to not bring bad foods to work..I will be all set! lol  Boy...am I living in a dream world.  Stay warm!!
