Thanks for the replies. Well, I am loosing weight which is good. My sugars are slightly lower post-op without meds then they were prior while I was on all the meds, so I guess thats positive. Waiting and seeing..

Long time lurker, first time poster. I had the RNY done on the 10th walking in with a bmi of 35. I did it mainly to help with my Diabetes which was diagnosed when I was 34 years old (6 years ago). This was done under the advise of many doctors and a few years of research. So I am holding up alright. On a pureed diet until the 31st - then I go to soft meats. Lost some weight already - about 35 lbs. But the biggest thing that is getting to me is my blood sugars are not lowering - they are always in the 200s.. I have been taken off all my diabetes meds and they put me on a sliding scale. Anyone have any insight for me? Everyone has been telling me that the people who walk off the table diabetes free are the exception and that most people have to wait a bit until the smoke clears from the surgery. Anyone? Thoughts?
