I just get my blood work back, and my dr called and said my blood sugar is so high that they won't do the surgery if I can't get it down under 200. I have until the 12th of next month to get it down. I already saw my prim dr and she changed my meds, and I'm also doing Protein shakes twice a day and hardly eating anything for dinner and tomorrow I go back to get blood wook. Did this happen to anyone. This is one reason why I want the surgery.

I had diabetes prior to RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and I was taking 2 types of medicine to control it. And even at that, it was starting to get out of control and my doctor was advising that I transition to insulin shots. By the time I left the hospital 2 days after surgery, my blood sugar was no longer a problem. I went off all my diabetes meds and this condition has been in remission ever since.

After surgery, I am focused on minimizing any processed sugar in my diet. Sugar is my kryptonite. I have found that there are artificial sweeteners such as Splenda and natural low calorie sweeteners such as Stevia that keep my sweet tooth in check. Many of these are now integrated into many products in the grocery store. So I read labels a lot. To me the logic is simple - generally, you cannot get high blood sugar if you eat no processed sugar in its many forms.

Thank you, I am trying to keep it down so I can get the surgery. How did you keep your level down before surgery. They will take it again before my appointment on the 12th they will not do the surgery if it's too high

Just a thought...

If you are not already try logging everything you eat into My Fitness Pal and see where your sugars are coming from. Check your Protein shakes, check the amount of fruit you eat. In MFP it will give you all the culprits. It could be as simple as your Protein Shakes. The more exercise you can do the better your sugar is also ( i learned this at my PT session last week) Good Luck!!

      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?

      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.
