Congrats on the date!!!! What is 10.2 A1C??

I am diabetic and 6.0 is the A1C they prefer and since my blood sugars stay in the 240s (instead of 80-100) my HBA1C is 10.2. So as a precaution for healing she said she is going to send me to ICU the first day then the 2nd night I may go to a regular floor.

Maybe I'm too excited cause now everything is going against me. My blood pressure is running high. My blood sugar is 400 and I am not understanding this at all. I am 2 weeks away from my surgery date but with these high numbers the nurse said they will reschedule me when they test me the morning of the surgery if my numbers are not better. I just hope that I can still have my surgery on the 4th. I was at the YMCA yesterday on the tread mill and an alert came up on the screen saying my heart rate was too high. it was 167 after 15 minutes. I feel good, I don't feel weak or sick at all.

      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.
