OMGOSH everyone!!! Thank you for the overwhelming response .... It makes me feel SO MUCH better that I'm not alone ( which I knew, I just needed to hear it ... well read it ) .... I am SO glad I found my way back here to ask questions and get advice. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU again SO much sincerely ... I now have new things to toss out there to my doctor and see what plans we can make ... Thank you again everyone!!!! xoxox

thank you !! I've tried fruit ... but since surgery it gives me frequent trips to the potty ( ya know? ) ... so that is out ... I carry glucose tablets with me ... as a matter of fact - they're everywhere ... car/purse/stand by the couch/night stand ... I've even resorted to buying them in bulk!

So as many of us know - we had the surgery for various reasons. Most are health related ... as was mine. Now 3 1/2 years out ... I'm developing a whole new set of health challenges ... Seems my refusal to eat sugar and carbs is catching up with me ... in the form of Hypoglycemia. Gotta love that. NOT. So the doctor says I need to eat some carbs and carry a piece of candy with me for when it hits ... which is getting more and more frequent and I've even passed out a few times ... once in the Chicago airport! LOVE the embarrassment there ... Carry a piece of candy?! Have you lost your mind?! So has this been an issue with anyone else? How do you handle it? I'm so sad about this and confused and I have been away from the boards for quite a while ... but I need someone to talk to ... I cannot and WILL NOT eat sugar or carbs willingly ... What has anyone else done? Am I being stupid? Am I being ridiculous?
