Serenityjames81 Thanks so much for this post I'm 2yrs 5mos out and I've gained 18lbs from my lowest but it feels more like 30. It's so hard to find posts from people 2+ years as ive been looking to see if anyone else has struggles or issues after a few years. I'm going to give the reset a try as well but lately I've been struggling with hypoglycemia and was told it's very common for people 1.5 to 2 yrs postop. I'm needing to eat every 2-3 hrs depending on how much activity I'm doing. So hopefully I can do this reset without becoming symptomatic.

Thanks Berry78 and yes I have tried this. Depends on where I am working it does work. For example when I work in ICU I carry a snack bag since I cannot leave the floor without relief and Im in the same area all day, usually about 8000 steps. I rearly have sugar drops on these days. However when I'm assigned to working on the floors I'm constantly walking very very busy and although I'm not confined to one area and can grab a quick snack at my leisure usually I'm so busy with crashing patients that I don't realize I haven't eaten until I become symptomatic. I've tried setting my phone but usually don't feel it as I can only have it on vibrate. I typically get 14-20,000 steps when I'm working the floors so I'm using much more energy and my sugar drops quicker and more often. I work as a respiratory therapists for a very large hospital. So Im currently a work in progress. Thanks so much for your input .

Thank you AnneElliot I will do that.

I'm not really sure if I have regrets or not at this stage of my surgery. I had my sleeve done 10/14 so I'm about 2 yrs 4 mos post op. Like many of you up until my 2nd year postop I was thrilled and wouldn't have doubted that I made the right decision for anything. However for the past 6-8 months I have been battling hypoglycemia. Which I found out is very common 18-24 mos postop. Like many of you I also did my research but never came across these statistics. Then again I was so determined to have the surgery .I'm not really sure learning that would have changed my mind back then. It's a horrible feeling and working 12hr shifts at the hospital I am not always able to eat every 2-3 hrs as my body demands, which also results in my blood sugar dropping. I'm sure once I get a handle on this and feel normal again I may very well be thrilled about my decision to sleeve, but currently I having trouble believing I made the right decision as this seems to be a new norm for my life. I welcome any advice or suggestion if anyone else have experienced and conquered low Sugar issues.

Just curious as to what the 5:2 eating schedule is... I'm losing really slowly and could use a few pointers.
