 Well I had 4oz of apple juice and 25 min. later I feel a TON better.  So I'm guessing low blood sugar was the culprit.  Thanks for the support.

If you are sure your not dehydrated then it very well could be low blood sugars. Your body is adjusting to very low calories/carbs so it might take it a while to balance out. My first suggestion would be to have your protein shake before you exercise.

I am hypoglycemic. Mine developed after WLS but once we realized what was wrong it has been easy to make the necessary adjustments. I always have a protein shake within 30-45 minutes after waking up or before exercising.

If I exercise without the shake or some type of nutrition, my sugars crash rapidly. I generally eat every 2-3 hours during the day and have a high protein/fat snack right before bed ever night to avoid waking up at 3 am in the middle of a crash.

I honestly feel I'm an exception to the rule. A lot of us have the sugar issues early post-op but as our body adjusts to low calorie/carb, the sugar levels balance out. Unfortunately mine didnt adjust.

I'm not sharing this info to scare, just to make you aware. Hang in there!!

 Thanks so much.  Because I came back to "normal" very quickly after the apple juice I'm guess that blood sugar was exactly the problem.  I do think you are right I need to have something in my tummy before exercise, at least right now.  Lesson has most definitely been learned.
