Are there other diabetics in here who have to take an A1c
@apositivelife4me I don't think there should be a prob. The A1c is a 3 month average #, good to improve your your eating now - but doubt it will make a significant change in your #. Surgeon knows that shortly after WLS- your #s will decrease/improve with your eating/lifestyle changes. get rid of/stay away from the sweets, drink more water, you are on your way. good luck - kathy

People that don't update their profile.
@aNYCdb et al i stand alone!! I would like to have some info about age, weight, - don't know why we don't share. None of us know each other/see each other in person. (maybe an exception?) if i saw one of you at the store - i wouldn't talk about my weight, age etc. don't understand why we strangers, threw a monitor don't share their weight, age - whatever - if you are 200 lbs or 400 lbs, we won't think any less of you then we do now! telling us you are a youngun, middle age or/ol' fart like me!! LOL "You Tell Me Yours, and I'll Tell You Mine" kathy

Panicking
@jackersducky curious to see how things have been going this past month just because you or OP screw up for a while, as "they" say, tomorrow is a new day.. in the real world - most of us deal with stress at times. in the past many/most of us used food to help "dull the pain" that's how we got here. want to eat bad stuff? GET OVER IT!! hope things are improving good luck kathy

After surgery safe for vacation?
being sleeved in around 6 weeks - hope all goes well, with a very speedy, healthy recovery "we're all different" famous common words by many WL peeps i was never as tired as many OP are, and more tired than some LOL i've read on the board that saw peep have one day surgery in Mexico (or state side too) and they are up and around shopping and stuff. you'll be one week PO - you prob won't be doing jumping jacks - but going on this short trip sounds ok to me. you have my permission to go - LOL- take a nap while DH is driving. you should be able to tolerate his driving "this" time. close your eyes and sleep. of course if you feel rotten - don't go - disregard everything i said above. except what i just said now take care kathy

eek-just ate bag of ruffles potato chips/helluva good dip
to all my chip and dip friends many sleevers other WL peep can eat chips and dip (shouldn't of course) without prob - (me too) hopefully most won't, especially newbies. i CAN eat too many chips, as they are sliders, have done a few times over past 6 years i'm still alive to talk about it - but i wish i couldn't eat those darn chips!! Newbies beware - nooooo, don't do it!! even though i have - "do as i say, not as i do!!" kathy
