Wow, just Wow. I'm so glad you are feeling much better, and I'm so sorry that you had all the complications that you did. I know that you feel weak right now, but I am inspired by your strength and perseverence. Do not let your spirit be daunted. You have been through so much, and I am hopeful you are in the clear. Keep your eyes on the future and at the more healthy you, you have earned it. Someone recently told me that surgery was "the easy way". That is not true for anyone, and more so for you. But you will get better, just hang in there. We all have our own paths to take. Over time your body and your mind will get stronger. We will try to keep encouraging you. Press on. Hopeful for you

Hey there, I was also worried about hypoglycemia, and was prepared to add some calories to the clear liquids if I felt my blood sugar drop. Diabetes and pre-diabetes have elevated sugars and the opposite of hypoglycemia. Luckily I never dropped low, despite doing about 2-3 hours of moderate yardwork. I just kept drinking a lot of fluids. Most people don't realize it, but the only reason diabetics drop low is if they take meds and don't eat properly. If you are on medications for pre-diabetes, I would let the surgeon or you PCP know so they can advise you of what to do. Hope this helps. Jolly Jester
