I don't have diabetes. I was sleeved on 4/4 and have lost 34 lbs (HW was 277).

The last few days I've woken up shaky. I decided to test my blood sugars - this morn it was 58 - anything below 70 is considered hypoglycemic. I got up, drank a little bit of juice and 1/2 a protein shake and it went to about 72 an hour or so later. Ate some chicken salad made with greek yogurt for actual breakfast. FFWD a few hours and my blood sugar was 52!

My surgeon said its not unlikely for WLS to develop reactive hypoglycemia - but that is caused from eating carbs. I'm just now 5-6 days into my pureed food diet and I haven't been eating carbs. Yesterday I had 9g of carbs that came from my Protein shakes - ones that are approved by them. I also had 510 calories and like 68 g of protein.

What is going on? Anyone else deal with this? It sucks, it's scary and it makes me feel like crap!

Firstly, I did mention this to my surgeon who seemed to brush me off a bit. But at my appt last week I didn't have any blood sugar readings for him, only told him I wake up feeling shaky and weak.

My surgeon said its not unlikely for WLS to develop reactive hypoglycemia - but that is caused from eating carbs. I'm just now 5-6 days into my pureed food diet and I haven't been eating hardly any carbs. Yesterday I had 9g of carbs that came from my Protein shakes - ones that are approved by them. I also had 510 calories and like 68 g of protein.

I'm having really bad back pain on the lower left and it kind of extends up to the bottom of my ribcage (still on the back).

I have read this can be normal, but damn does it hurt. Did anyone else experience this? Do you think it really is normal? Nothing seems to help. Pain pills and a heating pad only help mildly.

i totally overdid it yesterday too. Someone please advise!
