I hope someone can help me figure out why my blood sugar is still in the lower 300s. I don't feel like it is high but when i take it it is. I am taking my glucophage liquid and advandia. I have lost 30 lbs. since being banded. I go for my 5 week checkup to see if i need a fill on Monday. I just want to take my sugar in the morning and it be in the 100's. :help:

Also how do I change my ticker!!!!

Your blood sugar could be high if you have any infection. Do your incisions look ok? Any fever? Also make sure your machine is ok, no low batteries, and your hands are freshly washed and dried. I know even certain soaps/lotions can make a false high reading on the meter. I would also make sure you not consuming some hidden sugar or carbs. I would go a whole day with no carbs and see what your readings are. Also if you switched from pills to liquid make sure you are getting the right dose. And most importantly exercise-- everyday!

I second what they said, and about the ticker, just click on it and you'll go to tickerfactory and be able to change it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
