My pcp told me two weeks ago, everything was okay except my cholesterol was quite high. Yesterday I go to my therapist that had ordered the blood work and she said my glucose was high. After a 12 hours fast my glucose was 104 (I guess normal is 74-106) She said if it was that high after a fast that during the day it probably is spiking very high and is known as pre-diabetic. Anyone have this or can tell me anything about it. also my cholesterol was 285, trig 210, hdl 57, ldl 186. Will these numbers help or hurt getting me approved. I would say these are both comobities.

I had a glucose tolerance test a couple years ago and scored one point (lol, like a sports game) above the borderline diabetic line. 120-something. I don't remember.

When I had my appointment the other day and just had a finger prick in the office (not fasting, but hadn't eaten in about 4 hours), it was like 82.

      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.
