Well guys after all that I went thru bc of this diabetes it continues to haunt me. I won't know for sure if I can get his surgery till Friday when im scheduled for wednesday. sugar levels were horrible at pre-testing brought them down about 80 points- going back to my doctor Friday to get tested again- I'm on liquids now- no cigs- I think if I get denied on Friday- I won't be doing this surgery 6 months of this, I'm exhausted. I pray that my sugars go down with this liquid diet :( one can only hope right? :/

Wow I'm so incredibly sorry.

Be careful with your liquids between now and Friday. I'd stay away from juice or anything sugary.

Can I ask how high your sugar is running and how low do you need it to be to safely have surgery?

I really, really hope this works for you because I am guessing the band and weight loss would help you so much.

My sugar was at 327 on pre testing it has never been that high, when I went on Saturday it was 243. My doctor said if I get it between 175-215, then we will be fine. :/

I had diabetes too but my sugar was not quite that high.. I did Protein drinks.. sugar free, like muscle milk and GNC lean shakes.. are you on insulin or oral medication... ? I will pray that you are able to get your surgery.. my sugar is running less than 100 now and I am off of all meds.. I have only lost 33 lbs but it makes so much difference in the way I am eating. protein , veggies and small amt of carbs.. but nothing with much sugar.. keep us posted.. we are all pulling for you...

I'm on oral medication now; I'm on Medifast right now; but due to financial situation switching to whey protein I got the ok from my nutritionist and I can do muscle milk light- I'm gonna try my hardest, I checked my sugar after eating all day a couple of hours ago it was at 200- which I feel Is good- due to the fact it was much higher when I was fasting then after I ate! So cross your fingers guys!!! :)

Stress can raise your blood glucose levels. FYI.

Great this has gotten me beyond stress too :/

I'm surprised that the doctor didn't put you on a sliding scale, which insulin injections for a week or few days before surgery and after so that your sugars can come down. I would call your doctor and ask about a sliding scale. Good Luck!!!

I don't think they want to out insulin; they want to see if I can lower it on my own without havin to go to that extreme- I have an appt Friday to see if its lowered if Friday is a no go- I decided I'm not having this sx I'm gonna take it as a sign and see how I manage.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
