I have a pt who has not yet had WLS and had some concerns:

1) She c/o shakes/weakness/dizziness sometimes and strongly craves sugar...could there be any other reason for this other than hypoglycemia? (I haven't answered her yet but was going to suggest her checking her BG during those times).

2) She wants to get back into competitive running (I'm not sure yet if she means long distance/marathons but was assuming so).....how soon after surgery or how close to her weight loss goal should she be at before incorporating a "runner's diet" into her meal plan? Thanks!!
