Let's talk about Reactive Hypoglycemia



Recommended Posts

I don't know if it's the same thing but I get really sick and sweaty and my heart races. I feel totally nauseous. I found what gets me out of it is a small amounts of Protein. I eat a cheese stick or something similar or a few sips of a Protein Drink.

I think RNY people get it more often that sleeve people but I never know what's going to cause it. I ate kettle corn and got really sick like this, but I've eaten kettle corn before without a problem.

If you don't have a glucometer (a meter to measure your blood sugar), you can get one pretty cheap at Walmart called Relion. The test strips are only $9 for 50 of them.

That's sounds like a dumping episode, kettle corn are sweet right? I can't eat any artificial sweets, or I'll get your reaction. Mine was more like a total black out. My all body was shaky. Felt like I was going to pass out but I didn't. It's a similar but different.

I get it quite often and I am a sleeve patient. I can get it from over eating, drinking while eating, too many carbs, etc. it's fairly unpredictable. A half hour of feeling like crap. That's what dumping is - joy to wls.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
