Nearly 6 years out

[JenniferC]

This last year has been a tough one. I've had many problems eating solid foods. Seemed like everything I tried made me nauseous. I met with my dietitian 2 weeks ago and she is backing me up to soft foods to find out what's going on. The soft foods have been doing well so far. My weight is going back down again. I think I just got too out of control with the sweets and slider foods. Im hope joining this group will help me stay on track.

I'm glad you are working with a dietitian on this. Hopefully they are able to quickly figure out what is causing the nausea.

After my D&S loop, I sometimes felt a combination of dizzy, shaky, nauseous, weak and tired. My nutritionist identified that I had developed reactive hypoglycemia. She helped me adjust my meals to include a higher amount of protein and to eat smaller and more frequent meals. I also avoid eating carbohydrates by themselves but if I do, I make sure to have a protein water before eating the carbohydrates.
