May I ask why ur blood sugar is high? I have type one diabetes and I know if my sugar isn't under control then it will take longer for me to heal my wounds and incisions.

No. I didn't know that helped but I will try. It went from mild to crazy out of control in three months. I was shocked when my results came back. I ate 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese one hour later reading was 233. ??? Breakfast one egg, one egg white. Small piece watermelon. lunch tuna, snack was the cottage cheese??? Yogurt has 32g carbohydrates.??

Sorry to hear that. I know a lot of things have a lot if carbs and sugars and it sucks. My a1c has dropped and I'm taking less insulin now. I get my carbs from simple carbs like veggies and brown rice or quinoa. I can't eat fruit be ause my sugar will get too high. I just have to stay strong and positive. Try not to think about it too much and watch ur carbs

What kind of meds are you on? You may need to adjust them to get this under control. Do you know what your A1C is? If it is high you will need to get it under control. Very important for healing as Sweetsusie said.

You need to check your blood sugar two hours after eating, that is where you should be seeing it at regular levels.Fat free doesn't mean sugar free, it amazes me hos something that is good for you can have sugar in it but it does.

You know, I hadnt had my primary Dr for very long before seeing my weight loss surgeon, and I was afraid that she might not sign off on my surgery. I asked my surgeon about it, and he said that your weight causes so many health problems and risks when you are morbidly obese, that if your primary care Dr doesnt sign off, then it might be time to rethink that choice. Luckily, she did and I was able to get it paid for by my insurance, but I cant understand why your Dr wouldnt want you to be as healthy as you can be. Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
