No worries, I drank some orange juice today, I was gone all day with my daughter, she was having out patient surgery to have her gallbladder removed. Everything went well. I was told by a friend who had WLS she said to have some sugar free jello. My blood sugar did go up this afternoon but it...

When I went to see my surgeon the first time, I was thinking gastric bypass, but with my insurance, they suggested the duodenal switch, it is a combination of the bypass and the sleeve. I hope all goes well with you!

What did everyone have as a requirement for pre-op diet?? I haven't even gotten 500 calories today, checked my sugar it was 68

It's funny Pat, I don't really have any headaches, just my stomach is constantly rumbling. I also think I am not getting enough fluids in, but I am trying. Maybe cause it's not so hot in the house I'm not drinking as much as I normally do in the summer. However, we are supposed to have triple...

I didn't take my Metformin last night, I had some soup around 9pm and went to bed at 10:30. This morning at 4:15 my blood sugar was 116. I had a rough time sleeping but that is because my Quaker Parrot was sick. He still isn't himself, but is doing better this morning. He is giving kisses and...

I will call the surgeon first and see what they say, and if I need to I'll call my pcp. I have been hungry all day, and nothing is helping, so I will just grin and bear it for now, I know I can get through this. I even managed to not upset my granddaughter when I turned down her offerings of...

Any ideas so I am not feeling shaky all day?? Today was the first day of my liquid diet, my blood sugar was 112 this morning, and it's 98 right now and I've just had a protein shake. I'm just wondering if I should keep taking my Metformin since there isn't alot that I can have right now. I've...

You can also purchase pre-mixed protein at Walmart. EAS ADVANTEDGE is $4.74 for a 4 pk. Also some bariatric sites sell the individual bottles that you just add water to and shake. New Life has some pretty good flavors.

I don't see why you couldn't use the blender, my surgeon says to have one handy at home. But then again, I haven't had my surgery yet, but when I do I will see what my dr says. Keep us posted!

Thanks!! I guess I can live with a whole week of feeling hungry!:cool:

Thanks. I am excited, nervous, anxious, but I know this is all normal. I'm not eating very much right now, breakfast is a protein drink, lunch varies, and dinner is usually nice and healthy. Still trying to deal with hunger late in the evening. We try to eat by 6pm if my hubby is home from work...

Glad you are doing well. I can't wait till things are over around here. I feel that I have already been watching what I am eating but it seems I am always feeling hungry. How long after you start your pre-op diet does the hunger pangs go away??

My surgeon recommends Bariatric Advantage but they don't accept the FLEX health care cards, so my only option that I could find was New Life Bariatrics, so far I have tried their cappuccino and orange sicle flavors, didn't really like the orange...way too thick and sweet, but the cappuccino was...

I had my sleep study done too, and there was not enough there to say I have sleep apnea, but he would like to retest me at a later date. I was on sick and didn't sleep well, but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss. I sent you a friend request on FB. I am just a little over a week away till my surgery date!!

Glad you are getting some medical help. I hope everything works out for you

The Wellesse calcium citrate is available at Walmart and it is about 6 or 7 dollars.

Have you tired Wellesse calcium citrate?? It is liquid and tastes like oranges, really good and it contains vitamin D3

Tammy, Covington is half way between Waco and Fort Worth. I start my liquid diet on Monday then a week till my surgery. I can't wait till then!!! Trying to get a few last minute goodies in before I have to go all liquid.

Pat, it's not the calcium, I have a liquid one that is awesome, it is the multivitamin, it is orange flavored and powdered and you add a scoop to 2-4 oz of water, but it is so gritty and chalky tasting it is hard to get down. I start liquids on Monday, so not sure how it will go down well.
