Hi Kami,

I heard of that before, where someone would consider doing an adoption or some people that actually adopted a kid then later got pregnant.

my husband's job is stressful. So that could probably be a reason why. He works with computer and he keeps on putting th Laptop on his lap. I had to remind him not to do so since I've heard that heat is not very good for "lil swimmers".

Hopefully next year I will really get to celebrate Mother's Day. I'm really looking forward to living a happier, healthier life!

Happy mother's Day!

Recap on my sugar:
Day 1: 167
Day 2: 152
Day 3: 128
Day 4: 115
Day 5: 135
Day 6: 121
Day 7: 104
Day 8: 100
Day 9: 96
Day 10: 90
Day 11: 94

Another addition to the story.... so... I haven't had a period in a few months due to not paying attention to what I was eating and blood sugars are up like never before.... I was going through that last suppering thingy.... everytime my blood sugars get out of control, this happens... SO.... I started the liver shrinking diet a few days ago as I am having surgery in a few weeks... on the 27th.... and just after 3 days of blood sugars dropping dramatically on the lsd... I finally started my period.... so I believe that having co-morbities in check and getting stress under control has SO MUCH to do with fertility in many woman, especially those who are obese... although I know this isn't true for every woman.... I have certainly found it to be true for me... hope this helps... PS.... take BC if you want to get some weight off first... pregnancies happen all the time before people are ready.... physically.

I have been a diabetic for 10 yrs. Take 3 insulins and 2000mg Metformin a day. Before pre-op, my blood sugars stayed very high...200-300. Once I started the pre-op diet, BG's dropped, sometimes even too low. Now that I have been banded for 3 wks, I take less insulins and metformin. My morning BG's are usually around 120-150. The Dietician (also a Diabetes nurse) said that's ok.

The more weight loss and exercise we do throughout our journey, will determine how quickly we can kick these meds to the curb!

Good luck!!

Yeah for you Pam! That's excellent! I am looking forward to getting off my Glyberide! My fasting blood sugars are coming down as well after 4 days on pre-op diet... but still want them lower! Down to 150ish...
