I don't know if I would say it's normal but your calorie intake is probably low. I would recommend spacing out your food intake which might help your blood sugar levels.

I'm not diabetic and I really don't eat much I had a protine shake this morning like 6am and three table spoons of Greek plain yogurt with 1/2 prepacked jello for lunch one spoon of mac and cheese it tasted gross to me the other day it was the best thing in the world I've have been ok till today? Thanks for comments back I'm glad I have yall

I think a shortage of protein is what's going on. Three tablespoons of Greek yogurt has about three grams of protein, jello has zero, mac and cheese has little to none. if you dont want solid food yet, then keep some protein shakes available. I plan my day with three small meals and three snacks with a total of 60-80 grams of protein per day. You don't need to be diabetic to have blood sugar issues.

You can try other Protein sources if you are on a full diet now. String cheese, nuts, lean deli meat, are a few that I use. I also use hard cooked eggs, I remove the yolks, and they only have 34 calories with 15 grams of protein.

That is the problem I am having. Some of our friends on this board discussed me not taking in enough calories. I get about 900 daily and add exercise and it is less. I am going to increase my intake a bit and see how that works.

You don't have to be diabetic to get shaky with low blood sugar. Since having surgery the fact that I eat lower carb I don't have as much blood sugar spikes as I did previously.

Dr snow aka trueresults.com its actually in hurst

My mother in-law was banded by him!

Day 12 I just got very dizzy and shaky is this normal??

Your glucose might be low. I have hypoglycemia and I get shaky, light headed, legs get weak sometimes. You can buy glucose tablets or take a spoon of Peanut Butter. That's what the nurse at band doc told me as well. You need more carbs with all the Protein.

Wgbem, are you adding extra food or shakes when you exercise? Exercising actually adds to the total number of calories you should consume. A banana, some Peanut Butter with 1/2 apple is good too. Just something for the energy to be pulled from. :-)
