Had my post op appt today. All is well. Down 25 lbs I may be lactose intolerant which is why I have diarrhea all the time. I need to change to lactaid for my shakes and see how I do. I head back to work on Monday!

How is your blood sugar? What are your numbers? I was taken offs boat load of diabetes meds the day out of the hospital.y bgs have been from 95 to 154.

Teresa

They gave me 2 insulin shots in hospital. My sugar only got to around 165 they said was high. Considering the highs i used to have over 200 i thought 165 was ok. I am supposed to take my metformin at home but have a hard time with it getting down even cutting it in half's. But i think its running ok. I need to get in habit of checking it 2 and 3 times a day

I also had to have one shot of insulin in the hospital during the night of my surgery date (4th). Sugar came down and has since stayed within the 80's and 90's so I haven't taken any diabetic meds. Pre-surgery I was taking 1000 mg of Janumet 2x daily. They told me to test 4 times a day post-surgery (which I haven't been doing), although I do test..just not as often. I've had two episodes of hypoglycemia but realize now that my ingested carbs might have been too high which later caused the sudden drop. Obviously, something I ingested was a little too high in carbs. So I am now being more diligent. There was a history of reactive hypoglycemia that preceded my diabetes. Guess it will revert back to that if I'm not careful. So are you to take your medicine regardless of your glucose levels? Seems to me like you should only take it if your glucose is staying elevated. I'm sure either way it won't be much too long that you will needing any of the diabetic meds. Glad to know you are doing well. Your recovery seems to be going well, so far! Thoughts are with you!

That list you brought forward is way out of date. The actual list is under the December List thread under the Pre op Post. There are A LOT more of us than on the list on this thread. I added you to that list :-) I am going to try to copy that lost over here now that all of us are post op, yeah. Congrats and welcome

Thanks Gen!! I just hope when I start eating, it stays that way! That is my biggest fear!

[snow25 188]

Oh ok I will read the manual again. I thought why not but the nurse had only said the multi vit when I got home.

Talk to your, doc. My doc says no Vitamins for the first 2 weeks. Every doc is different.

Gen :-) Dec 15 :-)

[mrsblues 81]

Thanks Gen!! I just hope when I start eating, it stays that way! That is my biggest fear!

I definitely DON'T have permission to eat anything I want, my sugar DOES increase according to the carb amount. Having the surgery was NOT my free pass. Now, I am finally getting that message. Yikes!

[mrsblues 81]

For those of you who might be interested there are a couple books you can buy or get for your kindle through Amazon. One is called Mindful Eating by Jan Chozen Bays, MD and the other one is Never Goin' Back by Al Roker from the Today Show (he had gastric bypass, too!) I got them both on my Kindle and hope to start reading this weekend. Check them out! Tell me what you think---but if you read them don't give away the storyline!

[mrsblues 81]

Thanks Gen , you did a fantastic job keeping all of us together! Like the little division between dates! Thanks, to those that have started this thread and have worked on it in the past, I know there were quite a few. Also a big thank you to msixkiller for starting the December Dates.....Hugs to all!
