I will be 27 weeks pregnant at my next OB appointment. They also have me scheduled for my glucose test. I want to hide. Those of you that have had it post surgery how did it go? At this point I'm not concerned about being able to drink it fast enough, my concern is how is it going to make my body feel. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to drink the drink fairly quickly but within 5 mins it came back up. The woman mentioned me needing to come back to do it again or do the longer one and I said no thank you. I spoke with the OB and he had me monitor my sugar for a week 2 times a day opposed to trying to do that test again since I knew there was no way it would ever stay down. I

I hope it goes well for you!! I know some people are able to do it... my son just didn't like me to have anything sweet.. I couldn't even have chocolate while pregnant lol

My OB came up with a alternate option since I am really struggling with even drinking Water.

I am doing 2 weeks of recording my blood sugars 4-5 times a day. First thing in the morning before eating, and then 2 hours post anything I would consider a meal. I hate pricking myself but I knew I would not tolerate that drink at all.

My OB told me she doesn't do the glucose test with the drink with gastric sleeve patients she test it different. I didn't ask how I'm just 15 weeks

      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!!
