I felt better after I threw up. Iam starving and no energy, so decided to blend a Premier Protein shake with some blueberries, strawberries and a little Water. I am going to try to drink it really slow.
I don't think I have diabetes, but last time they told me I was prediabetic
That was a while ago.

Good! I'm sorry it took throwing up to feel better but I'm glad it worked-
Good job on the shake - those berries aren't that bad for blood sugar rises if you only do a little - because they're really high in Fiber :) so fun! Sip it slowly and see how you do- then if they work do them for a couple of days with your shakes and then wean off them- your body won't have to go cold turkey then-
Keep us posted :)

You should be able to have plain broth. Definitely keep in contact with your surgeon's office, because you don't want to have surgery if you are sick, or just getting over a depleting illness. In the meantime, in case it's just a short bug, just keep on drinking. Any calorie free beverage, unsweetened tea, herbal tea, fat free broths, etc.

Hope you feel better soon!

I start my pre op diet Thursday and I've been trying out the Protein Drinks. I too feel these shaky "low blood sugar" feelings 20 mins after drinking one. Mine have no sugar or fake sugar, just plain grassfed whey.

ive been searching on google and it's a thing: whey is insulinogenic. I don't know what this means but here is a study.

Good layman explanation of how this is good for you not bad here (found this on bulletproof.com)

Don't confuse this with blood sugar spikes, the insulinogenic properties you speak of are for the amino acid uptake (insulin=storage), which is then followed by glucagon (glucagon= release) to create a balance in the system. The better/higher quality the Protein source is the better the effect, if you aren't looking to efficiently utilize the protein you are ingesting then choose one with a low insulinogenic effect. Nature's pretty smart eh? If it only caused an insulin effect you would die from lowering a non elevated blood sugar, this is also why protein ingestion (by itself) can help with fat loss as the glucagon effect releases stored energy to create this balance in case there is blood sugar removed during the amino uptake process.

Insulin- prevents death by lowering blood sugar

Glucagon- prevents death by raising blood sugar

      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.
