Blood sugar spike one year after surgery
Yes, I’m going to ask them to retest my blood sugar, when the nurse called with my results she said it was a concern, even though I shared with her I did not fast and was told I didn’t need to fast. She said the normal range for fasting was 65-99. And clearly if I had eaten it would be elevated. I did test my blood sugar this morning before eating or drinking and it was 102. ??♀️

Blood sugar spike one year after surgery
I had roux en y last February, I’m over one year out and down 171 pounds and counting! So that’s great ? I had my one year lab results returned and the nurse wants me to talk to my primary about my glucose which was 119 the day of labs. The doctor told me specifically that it was not a fasting lab, and I did eat before the labs. My father had type 2 diabetes but has since managed it and is now only on metformin and no longer needing insulin. My labs before surgery were around 60, which was fasting and I have never dealt with this issue even weighing over 300 pounds and living off of sweets and junk food. Has anyone else experienced this?!

Birth Control Options
Just had my IUD removed after 5 years. Loved it. I did have about 2 months of spotting after getting it and then hardly any periods until this year, not sure if it was WL or that it was getting old but I’m getting another in 2 weeks!! Love it

Dark room- good advice! However it doesn’t seem to go that direction. Clearly I’m not a skinny person, clothed or unclothed, I just KNOW it’s not what they’re expecting. I also know some men may not mind, it’s much more a confidence issue with me! Lights off, I’ll rock your world. Lights on, I’m timid and shy! ??

Dating
I feel you, this whole “dating” thing is a lot of work, especially mentally. I’m down about 130 pounds and the confidence I feel is really high until I start considering a future. (Clothed, I feel I look amazing. Thinking of being with someone intimately scares me to death!)
