First day of liquid diet - pre-op

Today 12/22/2014 was the first day of my new lifestyle. I started my meal replacement protein drinks. My doctor gave me a guide line to follow for two weeks before my RNY surgery.

Breakfast = one premier protein shake

Snack = one premier protein shake

Lunch = small side salad, NO CHEESE or CROUTONS two tablespoons light dressing

Snack = one premier protein shake

Dinner = Lean Cuisine type meal

Snack = one premier protein shake

Day 1 went great. Normally I would take 120u Lantus with breakfast and again at bedtime. Plus 40u Novolog at each meal and bed time. Needless to say the Novolog stopped in September. As of today I have taken no Lantus. My bedtime sugar reading was 107. I am so excited. I will be having my surgery on Jan. 09, 2015.

Also today my wife has completed her RNY surgery. Go Barb!!! I am so proud. I am glad we are doing this together.
