Clinical Nutritionist.Registered dietician familoiar with diabetes and RNY would be good start. It is all the carbs you ate that caused this (tatoes, squash, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoe casserole) evenham if had a coating of sugar or honey or such!
Anita if I recall you have been challenged with postop eating for many years, have you sought support in form of nutritionist? Therapist?> your surgeon? Support group?
Beyond reactive hypoglycemia this could be good old DUMPING! In rare cases Reactive hypoglycemia can lead to nesidioblastosis....that is why seekign proper medical care is of utmost importance for your wellbeing. Keep us posted.

There are some that don't. I suspect that it has something to with whatever the hormonal change that occurs that resolves diabetes. And it does happen with people that were never diagnosed with diabetes.

thank you for your comment. i don't understand why all of us have problems after gastric bypass..
Topic: RE: low blood sugar??
I'm on this road too. I routinely crash. I am only 21 months out.
One of the things that helps me is to make sure that for every bite of carb based food, I take two of protein. Yeah it means I can't eat a lot of my favorite foods, but those are the things that make my sugar drop. My dietician said that for most of us with gastric bypass, our meals need to be 1/2 to 2/3 protein.
Hopefully this is of some help to you.

I know someone who HAS hypoglycemia. You can contact her at her website: meltingmama.net
She's pretty cool and super-anal about researching this...especially as it relates to post-ops.
It might be a good resource, but also - call you surgeon's office - TODAY!

hi father don,
yes this was shortly after eating dinner. i had ham, small amount of mashed potatoes, winter squash, green beans, little bit of sweet potato casserole, and a slice of cranberry sauce.
i did go see a diabetic doctor she said i had reactive hypoglycemic. she really didnt tell me much so i need help. maybe i should go see my gastric bypass doctor. anita
