Thanks everyone. Great suggestions!!

Whoops-sorry. Thought it said you've lost 50 some pounds so far. My average right now is about 3 pounds a week. And that seems like what you are doing.

Hey there.   I feel your pain sister, I've been type 1 for 29 years and I just had VSG surgery about two months ago.  Here I sit at 4:45 in the am & have been up since 3:30 with a low.  I have always had a problem over treating lows, especially at night.  One of the reasons I was nervous about RNY (even though it was the surgery that was pushed by my surgeon's office) was because I was afraid of how I would treat lows if they came on suddenly, like at night..  Even though they say you don't 'dump' with VSG, if I drink juice alone I will get cold sweats & the 'runs' within 5 to 10 mins of drinking it.  I found that if I eat applesauce followed by a string cheese or cottage cheese (not a lot, only like a couple tablespoons) I don't get the 'dumping' feelings. 

I've been blessed to have never had to use my glucogen kit, but from what I hear, it can cause the same symptoms that dumping can? Also, those kits are EXPENSIVE, so I don't think you would want to use one every time your blood sugar goes down too low. I mean, if you're bottoming out, then sure, you should use the glucogen.  But, for your typical, run of the mill low, I would just say to add some protien w/ your simple carb.....

Good Luck & keep us updated!

 I have read several different times that taking insulin does slow weight loss.  With or without RNY.  Is there possibly something else you can take (metformin) I've heard actually helps with weight loss.  I'd talk to your Doc about what alternatives there may be for you!

Good Luck!

 ok I'm 16 days out from surgery.  Before surgery I was on insilin for my type 2 diabetes.  I was never very good I keeping it in check last A1C was about a 9.o. I was really looking forward to having my diabetes go away!  so far no such luck.  Its been between 150 and 190 most days, but randomly last night it was 240!  What the heck?  I'm not even eating!  arggg...I'm not on anything at the moment.  Maybe I should be for awhile?  thoughts?
