If this after the Ivor Lewis op it is quite normal it takes weeks to regain your strength, for me it was months, I walked with a stick for a few weeks, but now I'm cycling and getting back to 90% normal for my age.

Hi I am 2 years past operation. I get this way when my sugar drops walk like I am drinking I drink orange juice or take glucose tabs. It come up on me pretty quick Takes about 15 min but but goes away after taking tabs or juice. PS I do not have diabetes.
