Thanks...my fingers are crossed. Unfortunately it is not a guarantee and sometimes doesn't happen right away. I'm hoping I reverse, but won't be surprised if I'm not. My levels have always been high until recently. Now I have lows which I think are a result of a new med and the liquid diet. You are right we will always be considered diabetic even if our levels are under control.

I just made my ticker and so I think the way to change it is to go to the upper right hand side and click on the down arrow. Then click on My Ticker. There is an edit button.
I noticed you had a surgery date ticker...I wonder if it will automatically change each day. I understand why the others wouldn't change becuase that varies person to person. Good luck. If I find out another way I'll let you know.

Not silly at all. I'm scared too. Not of the surgery per Se. But of the unknown after time. What will my stomach be able to handle?
I have such a healthy digestive system, I should be grateful. Instead, I'm going to take a perfectly healthy, functioning organ, and cut it apart. What will I have then? Sure I'm scared!
If I wasn't morbidly obese, I would never do this! But I know my future without it: crippling joint pain in my back and legs, heart disease, possibly cancer.
So I'm gritting my teeth through the fear and doing it anyway.
Actually, the way I'm handling it is just to think of today and what I need to do now. By taking each day as it comes and not thinking ahead, that's how I'm coping with it.

Wait, let me get this right. You've lost 128lbs & you feel like a failure because you haven't lost 20?? Reality check time here. YOU ARE A HUGE SUCCESS!!!
A four week stall is completely normal. I recently read about a 4month stall finally ending. You have done great.
You can do this. Refocus yourself, ramp up that exercise and analyze your diet. You can finish this race.

The last day of my 14 day pre op! Hallelujah!!!!!

A good way to kick things off now, is to see if she is willing to tweak or create new sleeve friendly recipes. Suggest she start incorporating sleeve habbits now. Such as no soda, eating slow ect. Let her know what it's like and warn her that these Are new habbits that she will need to form, and the sooner she does the better.
