Eating sugar

I am so weirdly tired. It’s like my muscles give out and I get this weird sensation in my body when I relax in the slightest. I am also still struggling with light headedness. Maybe it’s blood sugar, not sure. Eating popsicles help some of the feelings, especially the lightheadness or woozy feeling after I eat. Mostly concerned about the fatigue. I hate the feeling.
I’ve been eating fine. Not too much or not too little and I’ve been trying to generally eat okay. Sandwich, soup, baked potatoes, etc. I haven’t eaten anything crazy but I’m just tired of feeling tired tbh.
My appointment for my two weeks is next Wednesday and I’m ready to ask about this fatigue. To be fair, it kinda started around Saturday or Sunday when I started doing more and I went back to work yesterday. I am teacher so it’s not strenuous and I’ve been trying to sit often as they’re doing exam review anyway. So, I guess it could truly be being tired from healing tbh. On the brightside, My incisions look great though and I’m starting to lose some of my soreness in my belly button. Feeling much better sore/incision wise.

Every time I try to restrict my calories more and more I lose a little bit then I stop losing weight and then gain some back despite being in a huge deficit. Don't know why this is I've tried going to doctors but they don't know either. I know I have sleep apnea since childhood but idk how big of an impact that is. I eat healthy when I do eat, homemade meals low carb high protein no sugar . Maybe 5000k calories a week average. It sucks but it shows that I was never overweight due to my diet. I also exercise but I don't try to factor that in

Hey everyone, I’m mainly doing this for myself as a journal but whoever wants to join along is more than welcome to me. I’m hoping this becomes a success story and for my quality of life to stop being haunted. YOU DONT HAVE TO READ ALL OF THIS
I’m a 22 year old female in the US. I currently don’t have a job as I have been let go yesterday due to my unsuspecting symptoms and lack of communication. I can’t keep up with the regular 9-5 jobs and it’s turning into a pattern of me burning myself out. I don’t have anybody to rely on other than myself and I can’t get afford health insurance at the moment.

Most of Background: So I have been dealing with different illnesses that is a repeated pattern since I was possibly 12 years old. I would frequently have nasty migraines, stomach bugs, food poisoning, and respiratory infections out of the blue. It gotten to the point of my family always saying “there’s always something wrong with you”, “you’re just exaggerating”.
When it came to 2017, I started gaining rashes as allergic reactions. It couldn’t be classified as hives even though it looked the part because it would sting like a bitch instead of itching. It would run through out my body whenever I ate every so often and that was only on of the reactions as I had a second of my skin swelling as if it was a mosquito bite but worse and when the swelling went down, it would leave scars behind.
I went to an allergist and nothing popped up on the regular tests, but something popped up on the chemical patch test. The name of the chemical was called Balsam of Peru, it’s mainly a preservative that is in your common foods/beverages, cleaning products, and aerosols. I continued to have random allergic reactions here and there as it wasn’t feasible to follow a diet that strict in a household like mine.
Then came the end of 2019, I was having trouble with my stomach and would randomly gag from November til Jan 2020. I would literally start throwing up even if I had nothing in my stomach. I went to doctors but they kept thinking I was pregnant and would say my vitals were fine therefore there’s nothing wrong. One day mid Jan, I had throw up for the last time but there was something different..I couldn’t get up. I lost all strength in my legs and half of my strength in my arms. I went to the hospital and they did X-rays and scans just to say there was nothing wrong and it might be a virus that hit my nervous system. The next day they boot me out with nothing. I had to learn how to walk all over again like a baby until I gained my strength with only the help of my family which took about a month. Throughout that time I was still feeling sick and gagging/throwing up.
This is the point when my mom decides to get a referral to a GI and they look through my records from the hospital to find out I was backed up with waste up to my ribs. They did a horrifying flush on me and prescribed me linzess. It was getting me to poop more frequently but I still was feeling pretty sick often, it was manageable though.
I get to college, it was a shit show, I start to get more symptoms, like brain fog and fatigue. I thought it was all in my head at this point and tried my best in school but had low performance when I was used to easy A’s. I began to have yeast infections every so often. I start getting into vaping, smoking weed, and the occasional drinking. The vaping became chronic and whenever I would drink I would have alcohol poisoning like symptoms that were uncontrollable to the point where a couple of times I ended up in the hospital to get my stomach to stop contracting. I stopped all drinking and started becoming a religious smoker to deal with my symptoms, school, work, and every other stress in my life. All it did was make my health plummet even faster.
I finally got diagnosed with SIBO at the end of 2021 and thought “finally something!”, the GI thought to cure it was to give more laxatives to get my bowels to move more frequently. Instead it would turn me into a balloon that was about to burst but could not push anything out. The GI gave up anf I decided to move on. At this point I had to take a break from school because I was so tired whenever I woke up in the morning that I either slept completely through my alarms or I couldn’t physically get up out of bed. I constantly was having stomach issues. My yeast infections started coming at least 2x a month. I had so bad urinary incontinence that I had to wear diapers. I was dealing with so much stress with family, working, trying to make ends meet, trying different doctors that never helped and telling me different things. I was dealing with a psychologically abusive bf. Nobody believed how bad I felt everyday. How hard it was for me to eat, think, overall function like a human being. My bf seen it everyday but refused to acknowledge that when he says he understood that his actions would always say otherwise. It all mentally broke me and I crashed hard.
This brings me to practically the present. I cut contact with the EX bf and parents. I’m low contact with the rest of my family. I quit vaping for good, but the damage is already done. I am now on Wellbutrin and trying to pick up the pieces that are shattered. It’s been 6 months but my symptoms are worsening instead of getting better. I can’t hold down a 9-5 job, my stomach can’t and won’t tolerate anything. I starve myself most days, drink water and electrolyte drinks whenever my stomach take it.
Everyday I feel weak, exhausted, brain fog so bad that I can’t count to 5, stomach hurt. The last thing that made me question my entire existence, Saturday night I was starving so I made rice thinking it was the safest thing. The next morning I felt so drunk that I couldn’t function, I was so dehydrated and in so much pain I went to urgent care. The doctor looked at me as if I was on drugs, refused iv, and told me my symptoms were caused by trauma, it’s all in my head. She refused a work note as well. I felt a tad bit better after some electrolytes from home and went to sleep for work. I slept through my alarms and woke up 2.5 hrs late (total 14 hrs). I couldn’t move my body, text manager. She called after the shift explaining that she isn’t letting me go because of my illness, bc I failed to tell her about the day prior so she could plan accordingly. She wants me to focus on my health, it would’ve been kind if I wasn’t already drowning in debt and couldn’t even afford rent.
The reason why I wrote everything I could is because 1. I believe a lot of this is relevant to each other regarding SIBO and Candida in some way 2. It will help me for my future

I had a full tummy tuck in 2022. At the time I was close to 200lbs with a Waist 36. I had anxiety and PTSD. And anxiety created a space where I started to worry about it all the time and obsessed with working out and eating. This led to chronic constipation because now that I have a new stomach I wasn't used to being full or what to eat with a smaller stomach or the portion size and so it put me on a slippery slope that led to a hernia surgery in in 2023 (due to pushing too hard) which led to an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2004 too ensure I had no polyps or other internal issues. It turns out I had mild diverticulosis which led to flare-ups where my stomach was inflamed with this stabbing pain on the underside of my belly button and the right side of my intestines whenever I would get full and or stressed. I wasn't sure if this was abdominal adhesions or a nerve ending pain at the umbilicus. So I have a gastrointestinal specialist who put me on linzess and miralax and Tylenol to mitigate the issues while I do bland foods for a couple days. And she wants me to do low fiber foods on the FODMAP diet. I also stopped doing processed sugar 5 days ago so outside of fruit and maybe a little bit of honey. I'm doing what I need to do but still the stabbing pain is preventing me to want to eat or I'm starving myself and I want food. I love food but when it hurts to drink water or eat small amounts of food, that's an issue. I'm not a depressed person but today I feel depressed and lethargic and on top of that I tried to do coffee or cold brew and it just makes me feel crappier later and dehydrated. Am I allowed? Does anybody else ever feel this way?

How can I stop eating these foods that are so addicting. I keep binging and craving sugars fat and junk foods. My health is declining and I feel powerless. What helped you? What should I eat? I’m a vegetarian but like should I cut out fats and processed foods? Do I need more protein? What are the best excercises? Will weight loss help? Thanks!

i'm starting to get really into my studies at school and find i am having less time to eat. this is great for me because i need to lose a bunch of weight, but i obviously do still need to eat and i want what i eat to be healthy. i'm way too cheap for fast food so that's not even on the table, also, i prefer my food not to need refrigeration because it might be sitting in my locker all day.
the other day i was checking the discount section at the drug store and found this multivitamin mix called 'greens plus'. i don't really believe in these sorts of products but it was marked down from $95 to $5 and i remember my brother really liking it in high school so i got two. who knows, maybe it'll support my newly limited diet. just for fun, i went back to that discount section again today and there was another good deal: non-perishable packets of baby food for $0.25 each. i bought a bunch and had two as a snack. they're fine. i was surprised, though, because they really don't seem to have much nutrition. very few vitamins and, even without added sugar, quite a lot of sugar.
whatever keeps me going, isn't garbage and costs as little as possible is what i'll be eating.

I'm trying to eat healthier and replace my added sugar with natural sugars for energy and vitamins

Let me start by saying I absolutely love Aubrey Gordon, I’ve read a lot of her work and listened to every MP episode.( She is my preferred host and I only tolerate Michael Hobbes LOL.) I was so excited to watch this documentary about her.
But after watching the film, while I found it beautiful to watch, especially with the scenic shots of Portland, I found it overall a little superficial. While I loved seeing Aubrey on film (as a change from just hearing her voice) I didn’t feel like I really learned anything new.
I also thought the relationship with her parents was both interesting and under explored. There were only brief moments that really delved into Aubrey’s upbringing and her parents relationship to Aubrey’s body. The specific scene in which Aubrey states that her mom admitted that she subjected her to dieting, “without considering if it would work” to me was the only brief glimpse we were given into their relationship.
Also, there was a particular scene that confused me. When Aubrey is eating the cake that her dad suprised her with, he makes a point about saying that the cake should be sugar free and gluten free. This confused me. I couldn’t tell if Aubrey follows that diet on her own (which is fine lol) or that her father was imposing this diet on her. I didn’t understand the purpose of leaving it in the film.
I wanted to hear others thoughts and reactions as well.

i’m 5’5 155lbs and i was 134lbs just a year ago. my lowest weight was around 128ish and i vividly remember feeling SO much better. physically and mentally. right now i feel so gross and like i’m a force that struggles to move freely. my eating habits haven’t changed but my metabolism after getting into my 20s definitely has. i could eat whatever i wanted as a 16 year old and not gain weight and now i’m gaining by eating normal meals. i know i need to accommodate as i age but i just love sugar and junk so much and i cannot control those cravings. no i’m not eating because i’m bored, i have tons of hobbies to distract myself, but i always resort to eating that extra food. i drink plenty of water too so it’s definitely not dehydration. like in my mind i know i can choose the healthy option and just pick up an apple but of course i go for the chips. i even deleted doordash because of those cravings yet just a hour ago i redownloaded it to get wingstop. idk how to control myself

I was heart transplanted recently, and though I was always a little bit chubby, after the surgery I don’t eat any sugar or carb, and I don’t loose any weight. It’s somebody here taking steroids?

I am on metformin 1,000 twice a day, jardiance 25 and I forgot to take my meds till later today and noticed my sugar all day was right around 110 but shortly after taking my meds it spiked to 215 and also I didn’t eat all day just drank water. Any thoughts I see my dr this week

2nd Time with gestational diabetes. Got diagnosed at 17 weeks, and I'm currently 29 weeks. I will say, this go around I'm doing so much better controlling my sugars. Diet and metformin at night. I'm on antidepressants and such, but today I just...idk. I don't feel like myself. Yes I indulge in the occasional treat, but I've been monitoring what I eat so religiously, I just feel down. My OB wants me to eat a lil extra protien and such and I'm just tired. If I wasn't at the point of pregnancy where I'm hungry all the dang time I'd probably barely eat. I love cheese, but dang it, I'm tired of it. And nuts, and peanut butter. And whole grain everything. And brown rice. F brown rice. I'm just really beating myself up today.

Hey yall, So I had a major set back with my axolotls tank cycling again. Fungus Gnats decided to use it as a party zone, filters broke and the sugar sand I had gave me more issues than I knew what to do with. I fixed the last two but now on a battle with Fungus gnats trying to party hard on the tank. I've got floaters that won't go away and I've redone this tank twice to get rid of them. I've been trying to look but I'm not finding any good advice elsewhere so I'm going with my own extermination process that will keep me from worrying about it.
What type of fish would be good to keep with the axolotl that would also eat those pesky little boogers and be safe in a half cycled tank? (Note; Just so people do not get confused. Captain (the axolotl) is not in the tank. He's safe and sound in a big Tupper tub that gets changed.)

I'm planning a trip for my girlfriend this summer, because someone in her family has passed away. I'm planning on taking her to:
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area Siuslaw National Forest - Rent Paddle boards for the river - Walk the Sand Dunes - Hammock by the water - Photo @ Heart of the Dunes Park
Places to eat in Reedsport - Sugar Shack Bakery - Two Shy Brewing
I'd like to rent ATV'S but it's probably going to be too expensive for too soon of a trip.
I'm planning on stopping in Eugene, Oregon along the way. I'm not familiar with Lane County or Eugene but we're looking for places to stop, places to eat & drink, hikes, fun activities in town, and cool spots to check out really.
The one place I found in Eugene is: Cluckin Dog Eugene, but I'm open all recommendations
We're coming from Eastern Washington and driving down. I'm looking to make a memorable trip for her.
Thanks

Hi Everyone! I was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago. I have been trying to understand the disease and how to adapt my lifestyle. I saw a Nutritional counselor and have changed my eating habits, however I have started having, I guess I will call them episodes, where if I haven't eaten in over 5 hours my anxiety is through the roof, I have heart palpitations and I shake. I assume it is hypoglycemia because it goes away after I eat.
The conundrum is I started eating three meals a day (no more girl dinners at night or skipping meals all together) and added more vegetables and beans for fiber. (I have allergies to most grains and stay away from gluten.)
Any idea why these hypoglycemia episodes would start happening now? I am eating more consistently and healthier. I am at a total loss. I feel like I try to better myself and end up taking two steps back. My doctor also seems to be at a loss but I have more blood work scheduled for tomorrow.
Also, I have never had high blood sugar but my insulin has run on the higher range of normal on blood work.
Any thoughts or opinions are greatly appreciated!

Well, my A1C came back at 5.9, which I know isn't cataclysmic, but I'm pretty freaked out. This is a higher risk pregnancy for multiple reasons, and now I'm at a very high risk for GD. I'm also worried about passing out/getting sick during the three hour glucose challenge I have to take now. Least of my problems though.
My first pregnancy was normal until I got hypertension right at the end, but I feel like my body has been a mess ever since. Luckily no hypertension, but everything else feels out of control. I gained a lot of weight postpartum, but I've lost 20 pounds in the last year and have been getting 300+ minutes of exercise weekly for almost 2 years now. Still obese though.
My typical diet is high fiber and moderate carbohydrate, but during the first trimester it's been very refined carb heavy with half my usual exercise. It's been rough. Luckily not much weight gain if any. I know it's not the whole picture, but I wonder if my lifestyle change over the last two months is contributing to this A1C value? I was a little worried about this for that reason.
Luckily I have a decent understanding of nutrition and how to manage blood sugar, and I'm eating as if I have gestational diabetes starting today. It's ok, I guess, but I'm still so bummed. I've already been so worried because my last few pregnancies were early losses.
Anyone else dealing with pre diabetes in pregnancy? Dealt with? Did you develop full GD? If so, when?
Any advice or encouragment very welcome. Thanks!

I have had hypothyroidism for decades but ever since I got Covid 30 months ago I am gaining weight and most days feel really bloated. I eat really well, mostly chicken and fish. I avoid gluten, corn , soy, sugar, and dairy. I make a healthy smoothie 6 days a week. I sleep fairly well, although I do wake up but fall back asleep. I also have been diagnosed with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. I walk almost every day So far this month I have 122k steps. This is just so depressing. My PC doctor just says you need to go to the gym. Frustrating. Some days I feel better when I don’t eat. That’s not the way either. Thanks for listening. It’s good to know there are other people like me, I just hope everyone find a successful path.

I have lost around 70 lbs and have been stuck in the 132-135 range. If I eat less than 1300 calories I start feeling ill. I’m also hypoglycemic so I can’t really cut sugar out. I have weights at home but give up easily. Please help me with a good routine or foods I can add to my diet that will motivate me to do more strength training. I’m at my wits end and so frustrated with me body.
