Congrats on the date!!!! What is 10.2 A1C??

I am diabetic and 6.0 is the A1C they prefer and since my blood sugars stay in the 240s (instead of 80-100) my HBA1C is 10.2. So as a precaution for healing she said she is going to send me to ICU the first day then the 2nd night I may go to a regular floor.

Maybe I'm too excited cause now everything is going against me. My blood pressure is running high. My blood sugar is 400 and I am not understanding this at all. I am 2 weeks away from my surgery date but with these high numbers the nurse said they will reschedule me when they test me the morning of the surgery if my numbers are not better. I just hope that I can still have my surgery on the 4th. I was at the YMCA yesterday on the tread mill and an alert came up on the screen saying my heart rate was too high. it was 167 after 15 minutes. I feel good, I don't feel weak or sick at all.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
