Blood Sugar Levels At A Alltime "healthy" Low!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Over the week my blood sugar levels have consistently been getting lower, and without any medication!

Yesterday:

Fasting: 114

Before dinner: 75

This am's fasting was 104!

Been averaging 80-90 all day long.

I am 9 days post op and still on liquid diet?

Feeling pretty good.

Last two days I have done 60 minutes on the elliptical and feel pretty good. I can tell I get a little tired about 1 hour afterwards, but nothing major.

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share my fist success story...one of hopefully many to come.

I'm a week post op myself and my sugaris also doing great. consistantly between 85-100 and only near 110 after I eat my liquid diet currently. I do imagine once we get on more substantial solid foods our sugar levels will increase, but nothing like it used to be.

Just keep monitoring your levels and keep up the good work!

I have been very aggressive in controling by BG levels since being diagnosed with diabetes in 2007 - I was told I was "no longer diabetic" - what you would call remission, I suppose, since march...right at 2 months out from the surgery.

Getting my diabetes under control with no medication was my biggest achievement. It is amazing what this tool can do for you. My A1C test runs about 5.5 and my fasting glucose is under 100 and has been since surgery. That alone was worth the surgery.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
