Blood sugar high on Pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone...I am a type II Diabetic and I take my fasting sugar every morning and before the pre op diet my sugars were around 113-124 and now that I am on the pre-op diet with Bariatric Advantage my sugar levels have been between 136-144...is this normal?...I called my doctor but he said to speak to the surgeon and the surgeon said to speak to my primary?!...I mean I am not freaking out because its not that high but still...doesn't seem right...

Are you putting any addons in the shake that might up the sugar content, like fruit? I know that BA shakes don't have much in terms of sugar or carb.

Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but I hope you get your answers from your primary. It's discouraging when you get the run around from your doctors.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
