Type 2 Diabetes, where have you gone?



Recommended Posts

I am 19 days post surgery and I am no longer on any diabetes medications of any kind. My blood sugar was 94 after fasting. Its absolutely amazing to me! I wish I had done this surgery years ago!

Congratulations! It feels great, I know! The same happened to me. I was off all my diabetes meds (Glucophage, Glipizide, Lantus and Humalog) by the time I left the hospital a week after surgery. My blood sugars remain stable and range from 90 -115 now. Feels good getting rid of all those medications, and I had to do minimum 4 injections daily.

@nuzzlebear40- wait till you go see your PCP a few months after surgery and (s)he writes either "resolved" or completely erases "Diabetes Mellitus" from your chart! That was one of my best victories from having this surgery- I have absolutely nothing on my medical chart now :)

Congratulations!! I was on 12 shots a day until I was put on an insulin pump. The day of surgery they took me off and now at 6 months out, my blood sugars are still stable. It feels great not having to worry about that anymore. I can't wait to see what my A1c is next week.

I was off of my diabetes meds when I left the hospital. Pre-op, I was on extended release Metformin and Byetta. My fasting blood sugar was running in the high 150's. Now, my fasting runs in the upper 70s! I love it!

      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.
