[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2683903, member: 88961"] domfor, firstly you’ve been through a lot with your op. It will take some time to get over that. Surgery can put our bodies into a bit of a stress situation and raise blood sugars for a while. You may also have been on steroids for a while to help with swelling, and steroids are renowned for raising blood sugars. Hopefully, much of all of that will settle in time. On the weight loss, when I had surgery a few years ago (nothing like yours), I too lost weight, from an already slight frame. The advice from the specialist nurse looking after me was not to panic, and in the first instance concentrate on not losing any more. She also warned me it could take a few months to regain the 2-3 kg I had lost, because our bodies will focus on repair from the surgery, rather then rebuilding muscle and fat stores. Her words of “Be patient” (Patience is not one of my personal virtues - ahem) rang in my ears for the few months my regain took, but it did happen. I just upped my protein intake, and added a bit more fat than usual. good luck with it all, and hopefully you are moving forward towards better health. [/QUOTE]
