Re: HELP!!! hAVING PROBLEMS-DOC CANT FIGURE OUT

[Guest guest]

i can only speak of the weight loss part for you tre. i have lsot 60 lbs since

being pregnant (i was only 8 week spost op when it happened tho). now for 6

weeks i've not lost or gained a pound. i'm 7 months preggo.

as for the hot and cold, i do that a lot and get dizzy. i'm not sure what it's

caused from, but it's not that severe for me, so i just figure hormone

flucuations and ignore it. hope the Dr can figure it out...i'd be demanding he

be working on it now! LOL...good luck, keep us posted!

HELP!!! hAVING PROBLEMS-DOC CANT FIGURE OUT

Ok I am having problems with what I think is my Blood sugar, but my

doctor does not think it is the problem, however she can not give me

an answer as to what is wrong with me. I AM VERY CONCERNED!!!!

First, a little bit of history....I have type 2 diabetes and since

losing weight from surgery I have gone from taking 4 doses of med a

day to NOTHING (Thank the LORD).

Alot of time after I eat a meal(doesnt matter what I eat it happens)

I will start to feel like I used to when My blood sugar would drop

or go too high. The other night was the worst though I started

getting really hot and confused to the point I really thought I was

going to pass out. My husband was outside and I was calling for him

because I was too weak to walk. When He finally got in the living

room I had stripped down to nothing, but panties and bra(and i had

NOT RECOLLECTION OF TAKING THEM OFF) after about 15 minutes I was

freezing cold(i had 3 blankets on me and my skin was FREEZING to the

touch) followed by SEVERE diareah. I am VERY good about watching my

sugar content and not consuming it so I know it is not dumping. I

have experienced that once and do not want to ever go through that

again.

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS OR KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH ME. I

HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR ON MONDAY AND HOPEFULLY KNOW WHAT IS

WRONG, but in the meantime I dont want to keep going through this. I

need to eat for me and the baby, but it is hard to when you know

what is going to follow.

I have not gained any weight at all so far is this normal too????

Thanks,

YOu may be dumping from the carbs or from fat. I did not do that for

the first yearand a half post op, I would only dump from sugar, but

now I too get like that from almost every meal no matter what I eat

for a good twenty minute. My endocronologist insists it is dumping

even though I am not eating the simple sugars and the dumping I get

from sugar feels completely different than this dumping. I do this

from carbs, not fat... but he said it could happen from either. The

only time I eat that I don't feel this way is if I eat deep fried

foods or alot of cheese (healthy eh? NOT!)

experiment with your food and keep a journal. Also I took my blood

sugars before I ate, 5 min after, 20 min after and 445-60 minutes

after eating. Watch to see how quick they go up and back down. I

wold be back in the 80's about 45 minutes after I ate and the rush

up and down is what he said made me feel so crappy.

Good luck, let me know how it turns out for you!
