Is it possible to gain 6 pounds overnight? That's what my scale said a couple of days ago. I've been avoiding it ever since.
No response from my extended family members about the tattoo. I know you all know and I know you'll have something to say about it. Or maybe not. I can never read you guys. I still love it by the way.
I have had a lot of blood sugar issues lately. At least I think that's what is going on. Out of nowhere I'll start to feel shaky and then it starts to drop and FAST! The most effective way to pull myself out of it is with juice (not always readily available) but most often small, hard candies. In fact, I always carry
life-savers in my purse now. I'm not sure what causes these episodes. When I mentioned the blood sugar issue with my bariatric surgeon at my last check up in July he felt they were most likely caused by me not eating enough or often enough. While that could very well be the cause of these episodes, I'm also wondering if they are caused by meals that are too high in carbs. Sometimes it will drop an hour or so after I've eaten. I guess I need to start keeping a daily log of everything I put in my mouth so that I can at least narrow down the problem. This is something that has been happening more often lately (at least several times a week) and it's starting to stress me out. I worry what might happen if I'm in a situation where I don't have access to candy, juice, and/or soda. Can we get diabetes post-op? I get my labs drawn next week and will see my surgeon next month. These little episodes will be at the top of my list of things to talk about.

My sugar has been off all day today regardless of what or how I ate. Normally it only lasts until I can get some sugar in me.
