Diabetes and The Sleeve
Brendasgonnalose replied to PhatmanWalkin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 2 weeks post-op and stopped taking all meds because my sugar levels where staying around 85-95 throughout the day until I started full liquids then had to start back on Lantus 40 unit 1 time a day, (long lasting insulin). More carbs and sugar in the soups and yougert I guess. Will be adding in more exercise this weekend so hoping that will help.I sure like the fact that I don't have to take the crushed Metforman that made me gag it tasted sooooo bad:thumbdown:. My hope is to get off all meds as the wieght comes off, we'll see. Brenda -

Weaning your self off carbs is another thing you can strat. I had a major headache during pre-op from the low carb deit , then from the no caffine. I was a big coffee and deit coke drinker, spent a week with the withdrawl headache. Congrats on getting your date, it will be here befoe you now it.

Glad to hear your arm is better. Will they do another ultra sound to make sure it has broken up?
I'm going great, have added cream of chicken soup, butternut squash soup,(had to blend this) applesauce,Sugar free puddingand SF hot chocolate. Also Premier Protein Shakes from Costco, they taste pretty good and they have 20 gr of protein. I had some cottage cheese 2 times then realized we're not supose to have that till phase 3,so won't eat any more till then but it sure tasted good.still trying to get enough fluid in though. How about you?

Made it to Mexicali, surgery in the morning
Brendasgonnalose replied to Barbara278's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
IT Was Barbara that had the clot, you might ask her.I have not had any complications thus far. As for me my PCP asst. was "optomisiclly cautious", his words, when I told him I was going to Mexico he was glad I was finally doing something about my wieght and didn't thinkI was going to be able to do this on my own, he was right about that. He understoood the reason for going to Mexico for the surgery due to the highcost in the states. His wife even went to canada for her Lassic Eye sugery and paid less that he did and hers included airfare and hotel for 2 nights. I would think that if your blood tests come back abnormal she would treat what was abnormal. Brenda -

I'm feeling great, down 20lbs. Insisions are healing well. I went back to work yesterday, I was tired by late afternoon. My clients were glad to see me back. I guess it would be aliitle more comforting to know the Dr's although any surgery can be alot scary. Brenda -

Brendasgonnalose replied to loser's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Loser I am a wimp to pain also and am less likely to get up and walk when I'm in pain. Dr. Aceves gave us Superdol for pain if we felt we needed it, desolves under your tongue, they are non-narcotic. If someone is going with you they could pick some up at the Phamacia. In Mecicali there was several very near the hospital. Good luck on your up coming surgery. -

Hi Barbara I have the Unjury Strawberry Sorbet, it mixes clear, little sweet, I mixed it with some SOBE lifewater. Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm doing good, after getting over been frozen all day yesterday, mom said it was from lack of protein. I warmed up after I got 46 grams in last night. It was so good to sleep in my own bed last night. Do you remember how long we need to keep the tape on the insisions? -
I'm Doing good. Got home yesterday, I was very fired and it took me till 8:30pm to get warm, I was freezing. My mom said it was from not getting enough protein so I drank a cup of Unjjury chicken soup and another drink with protien total of 46 gm of protein and then started to warm up. Today I'm getting a good start with protein .
