Lap band and diabetes

[PrettyThick1 1,860]

Reason I'm asking bc mines for whatever reason during pre surgical it sky rocketed more then usual- and I can almost know the exact reason why it did. It was 4am and I woke up to get Water, note I never drink tap Water and I had ran out of bottle water. I took a drink of Gatorade at 4am not remembering my testing was at 7 this morning, well I got a call from my pcp basically freaking out and wondering what happened?! That I never had it that high- so it's mandatory for me to get it down it least to what I had it. So I'm now worried and I feel so stupid bc this is my fault, all of it. I don't know what to do- today is my first day of preop diet, and today I really felt that I wanted that cigarette after I've quit smoking 2 weeks ago, and literally devour my fridge, aye this stinks lol

Hang in there Melly! Congrats on quitting smoking...that was MAJOR and you are now my Shero! I also have diabetes - diagnosed 7 weeks ago and it freaked me out and turned to the lap band about a week ago. Still waiting for a surgery date...which will be sometime next month. Woo hoo! Keep up the hard work and throw the fridge out if he keeps calling you!

Thanks so much! I never thought I could quit smoking but I'm doing it; I just hope that bc of my dumb decisions that it doesn't prevent me from having it done! I am starving but if i don't think about it I don't feel it so bad lol

I really hope this is the situation; I am on pre op- 6 small meals a day- shake' date=' Jello, shake, yoghurt, Soup and maybe another jello... How bout urself? I went to sleep early bc I felt I was going to eat the whole fridge lol[/quote']

I have 3 Protein shakes a day, 1 or 2 sugar free Popsicles, 1 can of broth, 1 or 2 sugar free jello's, and 1/4 a cup of egg whites at night. Lots and lots of Water. I know how you feel about wanting to eat the whole fridge. My husband and kids are eating some really good smelling dinners and I can't have any, it's killing me, but I'm staying strong. I'm just glad that I'm not having to make dinner right now.

Lol tawnya!!! I cooked for my family earlier and was like man I will be so glad to mix my shakes and call it a wrap. I can only imagine, not to pre op diet yet but I'm sure I will see my highly emotional and unstable post once I'm off my main vice! Carbs!

I thought I would be crazy and yelling well on the pre op diet that I apologized to my family before I started and said if I get angry then I'm taking a nap. I also made sure they were not making me cook well I'm starving. Thank goodness they have all been supportive. My 2 year old son gives me a pillow and tucks it under my head and pats my head, he's so sweet! shakes are way easier to make, I agree. It's funny cause pre op diet is like a mini vacation that also helps me lose weight. I gotta look at it good some way or I will go crazy...lol... Let me know how your pre op goes when you start.
