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 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.

Thanks I'm going to drink more protine shakes they just fill me up so much Ughhhhh but thanks for Ur help!!

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.< /p>

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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
