Blood Sugar Levels At A Alltime "healthy" Low!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Over the week my blood sugar levels have consistently been getting lower, and without any medication!

Yesterday:

Fasting: 114

Before dinner: 75

This am's fasting was 104!

Been averaging 80-90 all day long.

I am 9 days post op and still on liquid diet?

Feeling pretty good.

Last two days I have done 60 minutes on the elliptical and feel pretty good. I can tell I get a little tired about 1 hour afterwards, but nothing major.

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share my fist success story...one of hopefully many to come.

I'm a week post op myself and my sugaris also doing great. consistantly between 85-100 and only near 110 after I eat my liquid diet currently. I do imagine once we get on more substantial solid foods our sugar levels will increase, but nothing like it used to be.

Just keep monitoring your levels and keep up the good work!

I have been very aggressive in controling by BG levels since being diagnosed with diabetes in 2007 - I was told I was "no longer diabetic" - what you would call remission, I suppose, since march...right at 2 months out from the surgery.

Getting my diabetes under control with no medication was my biggest achievement. It is amazing what this tool can do for you. My A1C test runs about 5.5 and my fasting glucose is under 100 and has been since surgery. That alone was worth the surgery.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
