Since my surgery Oct 14th, my diabetes has been staying between 130 and 155. I checked it today and it was 222. I am so upset. I have been under a lot of stress the past few days. Would that cause it to go up that much? Anyone else do this and what did you do Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

I took neurontin before I had gastric bypass. Do I need to open the capsules and put it something or can I take it whole since it is in capsule for? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

Hey. Day after my surgery. Feeling good. I just wanted to say that this has been a great experience. Everyone has been wonderful. Dr Garcia has done a great job from all I can see. My sister-in-law is with me. She is a 30 year icu nurse in the states and she is impressed. Just wanted anyone considering here to know my experience.

I am on my pre-op diet right now. Before I started this I decided to do baby steps. Thought it would be easier. First I stopped all carbonated beverages. I new for me this would be hard so I did that first. Then I did away with caffeine. I thought that would be hard but I never had a headache or anything. Then I started having a Protein shake for Breakfast and a healthy lunch. Did this for a while to get use to it. I never ate breakfast and rarely ate lunch. This has been the hardest for me. Then I started working on supper. Just making healthier choices. Now I'm on 2 Protein drinks and 1 meal. Hasn't been very hard at all. I think I prepared my mind as well as my body. Through all this I started adding in Water arobics. This way I'm sure is not everyone's way,but it ius working for me. I've lost 25 pounds and don't really feel like I'm dieting. I feel like I am making life changes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

I have alot of issues with my legs and my back. Working out in the gym just isn't working for me. I'm doing Water arobics on my own cause right now I can't keep up with the classes. I move for 10 minutes then I use water weights for 10 minutes. I do this for at least an hour. When my legs start hurting (and they do) I get in the deep end of the pool, hold on to the side of the pool and move there. This way my feet aren't coming into contact with the bottom of the pool. This helps me alot. Hope this helps. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

I am hoping my taste changes some. I have never liked soup. Any kind of soup. The broth part of soup is what gets me. I hope this changes. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

Years ago I joined weight watchers. They had this beautiful woman stand up and announced that she had met her goal weight that night. She looked like a size 0 so I was impressed until they said she had joined 9 months before and had lost 14 pounds. My mom and I didnt really know what to think. I told my mom that I had lost that much with one bowel movement. Needless to say we were cracking up. Not meaning to imply that I was not happy for her weight loss.

I'm not overly anxious about the actual surgery. I'm very anxious that after I go through everything that it won't work for me. I have diabetes and I so want this to help with it. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App

The gym I go to is no where near this fancy but when you pull out of their parking lot if you go straight you are in my front yard. Lol convenient and no excuses. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G750A using the BariatricPal App
