My last two check ins with my weight loss surgery surgeon included a lot of talk about low blood sugar incidents. What triggers it, how to fix it, what it feels like.
Just the other day I was thinking about that subject and how it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve had a low blood sugar episode. I pondered, what is it that I am doing now that is preventing the issue that I wasn’t doing six months ago? Whatever it is, I am happy about it because going a long time without that particular side effect was making me happy.
Fast forward to today. I’m in the grocery store, grocery shopping and I started feeling a little foggy headed. My hands started shaking. I felt weak. Aw, damn it. I thought about it the other day and jinxed myself. My days-without-a-low-blood-sugar-incident streak is officially over.
I sat in the car and had something to eat and felt a little better. I still feel a little beat up but that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is I jinxed myself and that makes me sad. Maybe I’ll work on some music to cheer myself up. That would be both fun and productive.
I get cocky sometimes when it comes to my health conditions, and I get a rude awakening every time I deviate from what I should. It’s usually right after I make a statement that pats myself on the back… lol.

I feel the same way. Any time I tell myself I’m doing a good job I end up messing up and making myself feel awful for a while. I should really stop doing that!

Yes, music is good!!
So sorry that you jinxed yourself. I do that all the time… usually after being thankful about not seeing someone I don’t like.
