WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
I've been tired for days...just now felt like i was going to pass out...
Thanks everybody.... for your concern & support.
I've been trying to figure out what triggered that episode.
A couple of things come to mind. That day I had eaten a high percentage of my protein early in the day- instead of spacing it out better like I normally do.
then later in the day... this sounds sooo ridiculous....
I devoured (well- didn't swallow) most of a pack of sugar-free gum.
Multiple flavors in the pack. and tried each- chewed till flavor gone then toss and pop in another flavor... it was really strange... like I was out of control with the gum. I had read that Splenda can make you cravings worse... so... I guess I'm off Splenda for a while.
I dunno... I just didn't like it that my bp dropped low - I checked it with my regular cuff instead of that wrist thingy.
No return call from the doctor's office Friday. So i'm not holding my breath for Monday. Maybe I'll call My PCP instead of the Surgeon's. see what they have to say about it.
But I am much better... was out of town since yesterday afternoon- drove 2 hours to go to a funeral. Stayed overnight at a friend's place and drove home today... then went to work.. so I am tired. BUT I'm a whole lot better than a few days ago.

I've only got just a minute but please consider talking to your surgeon because as most of the ones with a few years on them, sometimes the PCP's just arent't really familiar with our disease so please take extra good care of yourself and call your surgeon OK??? Just to check in because our surgeons know all the stuff and some PCP's just don't. We want the best for our JEllenator!!
