4 yrs and 7 months having a few problems
May 06, 2010
I hadn't been to see my surgon in 2 years and finally got in to see him this week. I have been having episodes of low blood sugar with it droping as low as 23. Funny thing is, it is usually a little high. It is gradually creeping up and so is my blood pressure. Most of my family has high blood pressure and diabeties so it concerns me. Dr. Nease diagnosed delayed dumping syndrom and told me to cut out all the carbs. I don't know if I agree with him and Marsha, the dietician that a person doesn't need any carbs. I understand that after WLS you have to reallty limit your carb intake but I think it is unhealthy not to eat some fruits and veggies. Plus, eating all meat gets really old after a while. He is checking my vitamen levels and A1C to check long term sugar levels so hopefully I will have some anwers soon. I have also been very fatiqued, losing my hair, staying thirsty, peeing constantly, and I have an ulcer. I am going to have an upper GI done soon. Waiting for them to call me with a date and time.I take all my vitamins. I was told that I am taking too many vitamins and to stop the multi and just take the prenatal and calcium so I am doing that. I am also taking flaxseed and a hair, skin, and nail vitamin and was told that is okay. I am losing weight again which is good. I had gotten back up to 165 and wanted to loose down to at least 150. This morning I weighed in at 149.2. My scales weigh one more pound than Dr. Nease's so they are pretty accurate. I lost 6 lbs last month without really trying. Just cutting out the snacking habit I had returned too. Night time eating has always been a big problem for me. I used to wake up at night standing in front of the fridge eating and that problem has resufaced somewhat. I am working on that. Drinking more fluids helps. I stay thirsty anyway so I keep a bottle of water in my hands at all times. Of course that mean frequent trips to the bathroom. Hopefully I will know soon if my vitamen levels are good.
