Question:
I am 3wks post op and having problems with low blood sugar

The dietician at the hospital contacted me regarding this issue and she recommended I eat 6 small meals of 1oz meat only every day. This sounds unreasonable to me and I need to know if this is a common problem. This is the source of low energy as I understand, just confused. I am wanting a normal diet routine and a normal life again soon. I have been told by many people in the support group i go to that i should eat until i feel full, the dietician says to measure???? what is best. She says my weight loss will slow down if i eat more than 1oz at a time. I feel better since they added eggs and i want to try just the 3 meal a day thing. Has anyone tried Carnation Instant Breakfast-sugar free? My doctor's office recommended that and the dietician says it is too fattening. I am stumped. Please give me any input you can to help. Thanks.    — Ramona M. (posted on July 22, 2001)

My dietician told me to eat 3 meals a day. I should eat until I feel full. I drink Carnation Instant breakfast (sugar-free) almost every morning. Use skim lowfat milk. I try to add a banana and a scoop of strawberry protein drink. I am not a breakfast person. I hope that this helps.
