There's a Protein problem there for sure....you need to contact your nut and tell her what has happened...don't know what your diet is..so many kinds out there for pre-op but low protein is not good, drives your blood sugar down...

It's a full liquid diet. shake and pudding in morning, shake and Soup in afternoon, drink and another shake in evening. My shakes are Unjury. I take everything from the instructions of my nut. The surgeon has been notified.

I came close a few times while on my pre op diet. In my case it was from getting all liquid calories. Not getting any solids keeps anything from staying in your system for any amount of time.

Were you hypoglycemic to begin with? I've had that most of my adult life and that's how I get if I don't get enuf Protein. I ended up having a good 10 weeks of only liquids and I had to tell my boss I couldn't handle my job for the teatime being. I'm a caretaker and cleaner at a large apartment complex. She was understanding for sure but I felt so defeated.

Now, 11 weeks later I've lost 60 pounds.

Hope you feel better soon!

Were you taking any diabetes medication? If you are, maybe you shouldn't be on them anymore... (ask your doctor)

No I am not diabetic. I did have hypoglycemia when I was little. I drank a full shake about 10 minutes before all this happened. It was bizarre.

For low blood sugar patients docs & NUTS usually allow a fresh fruit a day. Won't hurt you!
