Research says about 80%of type 2 diabetics will leave the hospital not needing any more medication. I am struggling with high blood sugars post op but my surgeon doesn't seem concerned. He said for some it will take a few weeks and some a few months. I am three weeks out tomorrow and still taking metformin but less than I was pre op.
I will be two weeks out tomorrow so it hasn't been an issue yet. I am lacto ovo so I am planning on lots of eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I've been a vegetarian for two years but I do find myself really craving a McDonalds chicken sandwich!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your daily diet, too. I am one week out and trying to figure out how I will get protein in once I switch some shakes for mushies.
I was sleeved on 4/16/12 and I'd love to hear how you all are feeling?! I'm feeling more like me for the first time today. Not so weak and disinterested in everything. I have only been taking short 5 minute walks but reading some other posts makes me feel like I may be taking it too easy. How about some of the other 16ers?
