Hi All,

9 1/2 years post RNY, I am having very severe episodes of reactive hypoglycemia. Every bite I eat puts my blood sugar into a spiral. I feel terrible all the time! Anyone else suffer with this?

I was ok (except for dying from caffeine withdrawal) and ready for surgery (scheduled for Monday 7/14****il today when my surgeon's office called to move me up to earlier in the day.  I asked what happened to the woman who was before me (because I had a class with her and had messaged with her on here) and they said she cancelled. For some reason, it got me worried.  I'm on a pre-op clear liquid diet and I'm miserable.  Will I ever again be able to have a piece of my child's birthday cake?  Will I be able to enjoy cook outs with my family?  Will I, from now on, look at other people eating and feel deprived and jealous?  I don't want to be in the position of going to my mother-in-law's house for Sunday dinner and not being able to eat any of the WONDERFUL southern food she cooks. Is it worth it?  My mom says no and wants me to cancel.  I need some reassurance that life "after" isn't full of feelings of deprivation and longing. Thanks in advance for any answers you have.
