I'm almost 10 months out and I started having these same issues (weak, shakey, heavy sweating, the feeling that I need to eat something to make me feel better) at about 6 months out. When it started, I was still eating extremely low carb (less than 45g per day) and my nurse told me to start introducing more complex carbs, which I did. I now eat about 70-100g of carbs a day, which come from fruit or milk in my Protein shake. I still get these attacks every few weeks and it's not after having an unusual amount of carbs. In fact, the last one I had was after I specifically had a low carb Breakfast because I knew I would be eating a higher carb lunch. After reading this string I'm wondering my attacks are brought on by caffine. For the first 4-5 months after surgery, I did not drink coffee at all. Now I drink 1-3 cups a day and my attacks usually happen in the mid morning. I exercise regularly (3-4 times a week). I'm going to experiment and only have one cup of coffee a day and I'll see if it improves. So glad I found this post! Tanya (vsgtanya2011 on YouTube)
