Super high blood sugars day of surgery, maybe. High A1C, doubtful. The A1C is just an average for the last 3 months. If you hit the OR with a 400 blood sugar, there is a serious risk of ketoacidosis. You don't want to start at 400 and then have your surgery cause it to climb 600+. I saw a significant spike in blood sugar post op for a few weeks.

Awesome! I crossed the line 2 or 3 weeks back. It's a major accomplishment. I'm going to have to get my wedding band resized pretty soon. It's becoming too loose.

They also made some ice cream. It got mixed reviews, but everyone loved this.

LOL! My wife laughs and says it looks like my butt crack goes all the way up to my neck when I sleep on my side. I felt around back there, and I'll be damned. It feels like I have one big, long crack!

I had a slightly modified version of this recipe tonight at a local WLS support group. The differences were 2 scoops of Vanilla unjury and Fat Free/Sugar Free Cool Whip. They left out the cracker crumbs. You could also do unsweetened Almond Milk instead of the skim milk. It tastes good enough to serve to anyone. http://www.somethingswanky.com/red-velevet-cheesecake-pudding-mousse/

Me too. I got taken out with propofol. No wonder Michael Jackson loved it so much. That stuff is awesome!

I can't say that I've had heartburn post-op. You might want to give your doctor a call if it continues to be an issue. They might be able to suggest a better antacid or write you out an RX for some really good stuff.

You have my prayers! The best advice I can give you is start walking as soon as you are stable enough on your feet. Try to burp (or pass it) that gas out as quickly as possible too. I was burping on the way to my room from recovery.

I've seen nectar in the Vitamin shoppe. They don't carry all of the flavors though.

Are you taking Pepcid AC or anything? My Dr. wants me to take Pepcid AC for the first year at least. I haven't had any heartburn at all. It cheap to pick up the generic at Costco.

You are probably hitting the absolute worst part of recovery right now. Get out and walk. It makes a world of difference. As far your stomach goes, it's probably very swollen and needs some time to heal. Try crystal light if Water is hard. Things will get better with everyday that passes.

Good luck!

The foaminess is one of the big downfalls of

One of the PA's from my doctor's office recommended that. I see that there is a phone/tablet app out there as well. I may have to give it a try.

Congrats!

My bad! The brand of the Almond Milk is So Delicious. Here's a photo of the ingredients (minus the Unjury) More details on the coffee can be found at www.nobrew.com

I got that from Whole Foods as well. They carry the large containers of it, but I've seen it at Walmart and other grocery stores in small single serve cartons. It's called Oh so good plus. I buy the unsweetened variety.

It's very similar to an iced coffee that you would get from McDonald's. Only without the carbs, fat, and calories of their drink plus tons of Protein.

I tasted the first one and gave it to my wife. She thinks Protein shakes are disgusting, but she loved that drink!

I bought some New Orleans Style coffee concentrate from Whole Foods tonight. It's about 6 dollars for a liter of the stuff. It will make tons of coffee though. Then I whipped up a Protein shake with unjury Vanilla and Oh so good protein enhanced almond milk. 8 oz of Almond Milk 1 scoop of Unjury Mix it up and then add some ice. Put 4 oz of the coffee mix in there and shake it up. You will have an awesome iced coffee drink with less than 150 calories and 26 grams of protein. And almost no carbs!

Subscribe to the unjury channel on YouTube. They have some good stuff on there. And no I have no relationship with Unjury other than being a pleased customer.

Try it. I did vanilla powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury with plain Fage zero. Then I added the usual cinnamon and a bit of splenda. It makes the greek yogurt extra filling to your stomach.

It all depends on the doctor. Almost everyone gets an EGD. I had a slight hiatal hernia that was diagnosed during the EGD. I didn't have any issues with reflux issues though.
