I don't get hungry; usually only after I START eating! Consequently, if I forget to eat my blood sugar bombs out and I have to go to Peanut Butter and a form of sugar to get it back up and stabilized. Today it dropped to 44. Does anyone else have hypoglycemia? I'm not even scheduled for surgery yet, but will the surgery make this worse? I'm having trouble remembering to eat mini-meals every 3-4 hours to keep it stable. Has anyone who has had the surgery had issues with remembering to eat?

My NUT says DECAF coffee is allowed, but the caffein will irritate the stomach. FWIW.

You may have had a "stomach flu". That said, I recently had a 1-night stand (squat) with my porcelain throne because of a tricky gallbladder, which WILL come out when I have surgery in May! I had to go with ice chips for a few hours, then filtered water a few more until my stomach settled.

Challenge the schmuck that, if he thinks you're doing it "the easy way", he should go on the same diet! When you have to drink your meals, HE has to drink his meals. When you eat (essentially) pureed baby food, HE eats pureed baby food. NO CHEATING. My husband has already volunteered to eat the same as I will be, without even knowing what's in store for us! THAT is COURAGE! If your Dear Hubby wants to continue killing himself slowly with food, that's his option. You choose not to die early. You choose life, well lived, not well handicapped. He might get some counselling as to why your decision is such a threat to him.
