Thank you. I take my glucose once a week at rising, always between 88 and 101. The GI people threw me out saying if my glucose goes to 120, see my PCP.

I’m very careful re: sugar, fat and sodium. My foods and calories seem to be fine. I’m small (93 lbs is my usual weight) so to be so down is scary. With part of my stomach gone and 18 inches of colon gone from operation 2006, it seems I can’t hold on to the nutrients.

I’ll look into protein bars. I’ve become an expert label reader.

I appreciate your answer. Mayo is going to do a breathe test looking for anything that might be impacting my weight. I hired a personal trainer to rebuild my muscles. One day at a time!
