Could be dumping syndrome. weetabix does contain real sugar.

Wholegrain Wheat (95%), Malted Barley Extract, Sugar, Salt, Niacin, Iron, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid.

I’m too far out to remember diet progression. If you are on real food stage. You might want to introduce Protein and items on your plan slowly to find what you can tolerate.

This was EXACTLY my first thought while reading your post. I'm not familiar with Weetabix, but I know bananas also have a lot of natural sugar.

Maybe it was just too much sugar at one time. I know I can tell if I've had too much sugar. I just don't feel good. Maybe not the nausea/diarrhea, but I feel like crap for about an hour.

Aah! That’s interesting Healthy life, I assumed because weetabix is on my plan of things we can eat , that it was ok and that it didn’t have sugar, should have read the label ! I’ll steer away from it in future! Thank you so much 😊

You basically just had a full carb meal. That drives up your blood sugar, resulting in an insulin spike which dumps your blood sugar back down and shoves all those calories into fat storage - not fat burning. Cereal should wait until maintenance and fruit (especially high carb like banana) should really not be in your menu yet, either. Where is the Protein in that meal?

Sometimes its trial and error to see what your new stomach can tolerate. Take it slow. *smile*

When I initially stated to have fruit with natural sugar I made sure I ate Protein and fat with it. So I had my Protein Shake or a piece of lunch meat when I ate a bite of banana or berries. Now I can eat a few bites of fruit on its own at 8 months out.

Thank you . I will remember that . I didnt realise weetabix would cause so much trouble as it was on my list of my foods I could have , but I’m learning a lot from here . Thank you 😊

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
