I had my surgery in Jan of this year. Everything has been going great until this month. I have been having alot of sugar lows. Dangerous lows. For you all out there that have had to deal with a problem such as this. Is there any foods that help your sugar levels stay stable longer? I get tired of eating banana's all the time. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hey Oscar T ...try eating fruit with a higher sugar content. Berries ( blue, raspberry, strawberry) they are also high in Fiber and anti-oxidants, mangoes and cherries and some apples all have a little higher sugar (good sugar not to worry ) than bananas.

I am really really trying to eat something small every 2 hours. It's not easy but it is helping. And not big meals but something small. Sometimes it's cottage cheese mixed with something. Or fruit of some sort. I do have to add in a carb to keep my sugars up. I practice, practice. So things are a bit better.

Honestly after my surgery I continued on clear fluids for 2 weeks. I drank or I should say sipped my Water, tea, Gadorade(which helped me a lot with hydration) others drink Poweraide as well. I had Jello because it basically melted in my mouth. Homemade chicken broth so I could get in some nutrients during this healing time. And all you do is sip sip sip all day. For any medications I had to take, I just crushed them up. It's not pleasant at all but you only have to do it for a short time. The days do fly by.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
