2 months 2 weeks post op. Felt bad this morning. Blood sugar



Recommended Posts

Blood sugar was 120. Dizzy dry heaves. Had appt for prep for carpal tunnel 50 miles away. They didn't want to see me because I looked bad. Hospital was next door. Nurse wheeled me over. After blood tests seems much sodium was almost low enough to cause seizures. I was admitted. Sitting her now. Tired but feeling better. Hospital food has increased my blood sugar... Oh. Much BP was 65 over 55... They blamed the sodium.

More answers tomorrow

Spent a couple of nights in the hospital. Home now. Feeling ok. Tired but ok. Sodium is good. My symptoms were like low blood sugar to me. Not much to do to improve my sodium except get an IV.

Oh. Told me to cut back on water! I've been working hard at drinking lots of Water. Now 6 eight ounce cups per day. No more than that. Geesh. Said that may have been washing out the sodium. Gah!

In the hospital for Breakfast this morning I had a biscuit, eggs and two pieces of bacon. I ate all the bacon and most of the biscuit and half the eggs. So there... I gained 2.4 lbs in hospital... But finally had a movement when I got home and lost half that... Heh. My weight seems to fluctuate 5 lbs some days anyway. I started using two scales just to check them against each other... So my numbers are fairly reliable.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
