My surgery was 9/6/12. Down 77 so far and loving my sleeve. No real issues but still on some meds for diabetes (even tho doc says I can stop my a1c was 5.0!) More energy and today I got up off the floor without touching anything! NSV!

I hope we both continue to do well. I plan to be at goal by one year surgiversary!

God bless,

liz

good job, both of you...liz, I am curious as to why you are still on meds for diabetes if your a1c is only 5.0...that is a non-diabetic level

Tigerbelle,

Doc said I could quit but my blood sugar levels still go pretty high. I have always had an issue with my daily tests being way higher than what my A1C says. Just don't want to feel bad when the glucose is too high. I am cutting back on the meds at what feels comfortable to me. I also have alot of stress right now (ill husband and my dad just had a stroke) which contributes to the high readings and I can't control that. . I will get there, no doubt!

New G...yes, stay in touch! We GOT this...

      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.
