Wow 36 is super low. I was 47 once and also never diabetic. I've upped my carbs and calories and have had no issues what so ever. Keep me posted!!

Thanks James!

I go too long between meals too, I wonder if that's what's doing it for me also. Thanks guys for all the input!!

I stopped Protein Shakes a couple months ago but maybe I will go back to having one a day. Do you know what triggers your lows? Did they give you a meter to watch your numbers?

Thanks for the info! I am meeting with my dietician on Thursday. I've uped my calories and carbs just a little bit and so far no issues. Hopefully it's an easy fix

It's a bummer, just hoping to get it managed

Has anyone had issues with non-diabetic hypoglycemia after having RNY? This is not the same as dumping. Sometimes after eating my blood sugar drops low, recently down to 47. I get lethargic and cold and sweaty. I eat something sweet but not too sweet and some carbs and in about 20 minutes it will go up to the 90s. I'm working with my dietician to see what is triggering this. I find that it happens on days when I don't eat enough calories or not enough carbs. Any info or advice would be great!

I am am 13 months post op and this has been happening for about a month

I am 5'4" and went from a size 24 to a size 10. I love being small but still have curves. I thought about losing more but I'm comfortable at 158. I want to maintain in the 150's.

Oh I haven't heard about that. But I hear a common deficiency is Iron. How far post op are you?

Yes, I had a severe thiamine deficiency in the beginning. I had gastric bypass and the gummy vitamins I had did not contain thiamine. I went to the ER thinking I had severe vertigo. Turned out to be a thiamine deficiency and I received a thiamin transfusion and switched my Vitamins. It is common for gummies to not contain thiamine so be on the look out!

I am 14 months post op. 5'4" . Went from 287 to 158. I don't think it was hard at all. Was it an adjustment? Yes. Do you have to fight cravings? Yes. You will hit stalls and get frustrated. You must stick to the plan as much as possible and stay active and the weight will fall right off. So hard for me? No. Always easy? No, but I wouldn't say it's hard. I've never been successful at weight loss until I had this tool. Just stay the course, stay focused and you will have success!!

Thank you all so much!! ????

Today is my one year Surgiversary!!! I went from a size 24 to a size 10. Here is a link to a video that shows the change ????https://flipagram.com/f/YXXy5eaffo

Amazing! & congratulations what a beautiful video if you dont mind me asking what was your starting weight and current ????

Thank you! I'm 5'4 and my starting weight was 286, today 158 ????

I am going into surgery in 2 weeks. What advice would you give yourself looking back? Has it been extremely difficult to maintain the new lifestyle long term? Any insight you wish you had last year ?

Good luck you will do great!! My advice would be to never doubt yourself. Stick to the program and remember no one does it perfectly. Enjoy the ride to the new healthy wonderful you!! I look forward to seeing your progress!!!

You. Are. Beautiful. ????

That is so sweet, thank you!

Wow pink, even though I too went through the same process, watching yours sent shivers up my spine. It made it real. Thank you so much for sharing. Amazing!

Thank you so much! I appreciate all the love!

Little_mrs,

Thanks for sharing. You look phenomenal – what a testament to hard work! It looks like you have a great family and friends to motivate you to be healthy, too!

Thank you Alex! I do have wonderful support, although it has strained some relationships in my life, that is something I'm learning to deal with. I am such a happy new me ????

Thank you!! I'm not in Seattle, but I have family there and was visiting. I'm from WI ????

Thank you!! ????

It depends on a lot of things. Age, excercise level and compliance with the diet. You will also loose more faster than people that don't have as much to loose. I started at 289 10 months ago and am 170 today. Hoping to be in the 150's in November for my 1 year ????

I'm 35yo 5'4 and I've lost 120. I will be 11 months post op on the 18th of October. You will do it! ????

I have my 1 year post op appt coming up and really want to thank my surgeon without sounding silly or cliche. You know, omg you changed my life!! Which is true of course. What did you say to your surgeon to show gratitude? A letter, a card. A gift?? I don't think a simple thank you is enough for an amazing life changing year..

I want to make the most of my one year post op appt with my surgeon in November. I always forget to ask things and think of them later. I just can shake my nerves when I'm there. What are some good questions you ask at your appts being post op??

Cw 175 gw 165!

They always say the first six months is your window of opportunity but trust me we quickly loose it's going to come off and you guys will be happy I was in your shoes before and I used to get so so frustrated with myself but trust me now just remain positive and know that no matter what you're going to meet that goal as long as you exercise eat properly

Thank you!! I needed to hear these responses! ????

I am almost 10 months post op. Hw 289 Cw175. I just started a liquid diet for a few days to jump start again. I lost 3 pounds the first day. I want so badly to be in the 150's for my one year appt. I've heard the 5 day pouch test and the 5:2 diet are great for jump starting weight loss again. Keep me posted!
