Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Dear Sandy, No, I did not experience this after surgery. Did your doctor seem concerned about the virus? Did he/she tell you about any possible complications you might experience...? Try typing the name of the virus into your computer's GOOGLE search engine. If you've forgotten the name of the virus, just give your doc's office a call and ask for a nurse to call you back with your chart in front of her/him. They can help you out as well. Take good care and God bless you richly. Love, Trace in Va. Beach, VA Dr. Schechner, Va.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 ---Sandy, I had itching all over my body. The only spots I have are scabs from scratching so bad. We thought mine was an allergy to the Vit. A&D oil, so I got some dry from Vitalady. I still have this itching, still getting scabs. I'm 15 months postop. Thanks for posting this, maybe I should have this checked again. Lynn In GastricBypass-InfoCentral , Sandy Zazo wrote: > My surgery was on January 30th 2003.

Hi Barbara, Some people test two hours after starting a meal, while others test two hours after finishing a meal. I think either one is okay as long as you are consistent. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi- I have a question about testing- My regular schedule of testing has only been before eating. I would like to get more control of the eating process, and find out which foods effect my readings. What I need to know- is how long after eating should I test? Thanks, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was told by my endo, and nutritionist to test 2 hours after eating. That's how long it usually takes the foods to breakdown in your system. barbara rodrigues rodriguez6021@...> wrote: Hi- I have a question about testing- My regular schedule of testing has only been before eating.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi Barbara: What I was taught was to test about 2 hours after eating for best results. This is what works for me.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I took the compromise road and mark down when I start and finish a meal and then test 2 hrs from the middle of starting and finishing as close as I can. Otherwise it is finishing. LOL JUDITH What I need to know- is how long after eating should I test?

If you have the time/energy/test strips/fingers for it, something you may want to try sometime is to test at 1 hour and then again at 2 hours just to see which number is higher. I've found that sometimes my 2-hour number can actually be HIGHER than the 1-hour number depending on how long it takes to digest, I guess. Pizza for me in particular seems to create a relatively slow rise that goes way up and stays there for awhile. I normally test at 2 hours but I'll throw in a 1-hour test from time to time just to keep an eye on things and make sure I'm not having a gigantic glucose spike at 1 hour that's gone by 2 hours when I test, if you follow what I mean.
