Had my sleeve on 12/21 so I am week 2 now, just wondering if anyone else's diet is this limited? (Mine is even more so than what is written I am allergic to artificial sweeteners so that takes off the protein shake and anything "diet" or "light") how do you deal with such a limited menu? (Week 3 is pretty much the same add eggs and tuna)

I am 12 days post-op and for some reason my blood sugar levels are up, I have never had a problem with elevated levels until I was in the hospital for surgery, it was up to 140 after surgery, it was 89 before, they treated it and it was fine when they discharged me the next day, and it has been normal up until tonight, it is up a bit tonight despite not eating/drinking anything with any carbs for 8+ hours (only water and chicken bone broth) anyone else expierenced anything like this? Should I be concerned or is this just a leftover side effect of the surgery? TIA

I am kind of thinking it is probably a result of the shock of everything, I am keeping track and as long as it doesn't vary too far from my average I think I am just going to wait and see, for a little bit longer, like a week or so, thanks for the input everyone, it just kind of freaked me out being that I am not diabetic, and have never had issues with it going up, I have been testing for years because I often ran low and they had me on a med that could make it even lower.

Yes it makes sense, I am having the same problem, I just do the best I can.

Man I should have thought of doing something like this lol

I can't figure out how to update my profile, nor can I find a help section, tried the app, no way to sign in so I deleted it, please help.

I had mine done 12/21, I guess I am the odd ball, no nausea, other than the horrible pain from the gas they inflate you with I had very minimal pain, never took more than a couple Tylenol, it did take 6 days before I could sleep on my side without it feeling like my insides were going to come out the incisions, I was up and walking within 6 or so hours of surgery (in between sleeping which I did a ton of the first 4 days) went home the day after surgery, had no problem with the flight of stairs to my house, went to Walmart the next day (took an electric cart because my back was killing me from sleeping sitting up on the couch because of the gas pain) but my real problem is that this is week 2, I am on 90% liquid diet I can have cottage cheese and applesauce, but I can't do most of the stuff on the diet nor can I do the protein shake (I can't find a low carb one that does not have fake sugar, which I am allergic to) so I am finding that I am hungry more than 3 times a day which is leading to cravings and driving me nuts, but I am doing my best not to eat more than the 3 times a day. Well best wishes to all for a speedy recovery and a great start to a New Year 🎉
