My weight was actually up to 181 one day last week. My poop weight fluctuates all over the map.Good going. Have fun visiting with your brother.
Passed out as in fell asleep? Or lost consciousness? If the fell asleep, ok. If lost consciousness, that is NOT good at all.
At least your weight is stable.
I go out with no warning at all and wake up later disoriented and not feeling great. Usually groggy for a while, confused because I don't remember going out and wonder what is going on, irritated and usually have to go to the bathroom. I can go out 5 minutes but yesterday I think was closer to 2 hours. When I was heavier, diabetic and definitely had sleep apnea I would rubber neck if my blood sugar got high and then eventually fall asleep. This is not symptoms, no glucose level change and I just go out instantly with no warning..i mean I could be typing now and wake up 15 minutes later and see that I was and didn't finish the message. That is how quickly it happens and why I say it isn't falling asleep. It isn't feeling sleepy, nodding off a little fighting to keep eyes open, it is instantly out and wake up later confused.
That is why I am going to have my Father or Brother take me up to Mayo after Christmas because I need a glucose tolerance test for sure, adrenal stress test, full tilt table and neuro work up, cardio check, etc. Somebody has to be able to identify what is going on.
@DianaCox and I have chatted about this and she brought up a possibility that my pyloric sphincter could be loose and I am "dumping partially digested food". The only problem with that theory is that I don't get hyper or hypo for that matter glycemic symptoms (no sweating, shaking, sudden dizziness, fast breathing, sleepy, etc). The loose pylorus passing undigested food would explain my absorption issues.
The other theory I have is that my stomach may get full and press on the vagal nerve causing syncope. It is always within an hour or two of eating, so who knows.....anyway it needs to stop and somebody needs to id root cause for me.
