I had the same issues - what I have found is that I have to do a protein supplement each day in addition to my meals - when I skip my shakes, I GET the shakes. 

Protein deficiency has the same symptoms as low blood sugar - you may want to get blood work done, and look at doing at least 30g of supplementation a day.  Once I corrected that, I haven't had another episode.

I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions!  I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

Hello,
I wanted to say that I have had many of these episodes and I thought it was because I didn't eat a balance breakfast and maybe too much coffee.  Glad to know protein deficiency has the same symptoms because I was beginning to wonder.  I have noticed if I have a bagelful as opposed to eggs and toast I seem to be fine.
Thanks a bunch for the information. 



Remember it is not any of your business what others think about you!

Gurl, you should know that after almost 6 years in this post-RNY camp...my bloodwork is the only thing I do faithfully LOL

Never did protein shakes!!!!!  (except when really ill).....never had a protein deficiency....only B1 and Vitamin D.....

In fact, when explained all this to doc....he confirmed that my blood sugar was dropping....

My problem is not sudden hunger or missing a meal per se.....i think it has to do with going to long without a meal....3 or 4 a day versus 6-8.

I focus not on my disabilty; my focus is on my ABILITIES.

Girl thanks so much for sharing this info!!  I had one of these episodes this past Friday night, I left from work and went straight to a fashion show...( hadn't eaten since breakfast )   I started sweating and I thought I was going to pass out!!  I've never dumped, but I thought I was dumping for the first time..... I guess I know now why that happened!!

Everyone's dumping episode is different...and I have dumped from water and vitamins ~no schitt~

My dumping episode symptons are more like this:

5-15 minutes from whateva put in mouf----my stomach gets painfully sick...I mean the I gotta throw up sick........my body alternates from hot to cold....not sweating....just hot (like hot flashes) then cold (like too much air condition)........as I am attempting the fate of barfing (sometimes just damn dry heaves forever)....my stomach sometimes decides it wants to ...so I am there....with a garbage in my lap for the ....I hurt....I pray.....I curse

I have NO urge to put nothing in my mouf....food is my worst enemy.....as I crawl to the bed with garbage.....barfing and sleep are my only cures

I have had dumping last from 10 minutes to HOURS

When my blood sugar level drops.....I recover quickly

Oh wow!!  Well I should have known that I wasn't dumping because I hadn't had anything to eat.  I wont let that happen again!

Thanks, I did know this, I always go for the candy/sugar to raise my blood sugar.  I can do the Free Peanut Butter.....family works for skippy.


When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism.

Take your iron with vitamin C....it helps to absorb the iron and helps stop the constipation....the one Bree *songbird* told me about has C in it....damn....but I know it was at Walgreens..

You can also buy collace OTC to help get thing moving!
