Umm..excuse me french but - WTH? ? I mean, I know I'm probably the only person from Israel in this forum and maybe things here are a bit different but after 3 days of Clear Liquids we're allowed to have coffee. With milk. And sugar. And please don't think of Israel as 'camels walkin on the street' kinda country, gastric sleeve ops are VERY common here. So maybe you can explain? Never herd about it before.
Thanks

Couldn't have said it better myself! I'm 30 years old and I'm 2 weeks post op. I have been over weight since the age of 8 and have gone through all the cycles of losing gaining etc. My health started to take a turn gor the worst about 10 years ago when i was diagnosed with PCOS and honestly my 20's were a whirlwind of health issues and weight gain. But i have never hated myself because of my weight nor have i blamed my weight for what happened to me in life good or bad. The one thing i do recognize is that alot of my health issues were related to my obesity. Like my diabetes for example. I was diagnosed last year and was an insulin dependent diabetic (haven't had to use insulin since the pre op diet phase ) but again i have a girlfriend who didn't have health issues except being over weight and got the surgery done because she expected her whole life to change once she lost the weight she expected her husband to come back and everything to be just peachy. Well she has lost the weight and looks amazing but her husband didn't come back, her job didn't get any better, and honestly isn't even enjoying the attention she is getting from other men because they only want to sleep with her or use her. So is losing weight which ever way ypu accomplish it the answer to all your problems no it is not! I have been married for 7 years and have had peaks and valleys like most marriages I'm happy right now because my husband who is not overweight never has been, has been very supportive through this process just like all my other health issues I've gone through. My husband has never put me down verbally about my weight or anything else that's just how he is. Have i joked that I'm gonna leave him once the weight comes off, yes i have but i noticed about the 3rd time I said it (Which i wouldn't because I love him and habe no desire to be with anyone else) that he did kind of believe it and he seemed hurt so i will no longer joke about that. I guess I'm lucky that my weight has never been an issue in our marriage at least that he has ever ever showed me. We have been together for 12 Years and married for 7. I'm hoping this journey only brings us closer. But again who knows how he might feel or see me once the weight is off. Best of luck to all of us taking this courageous journey and best wishes to all your marriages.

My surgery is scheduled Jan 12th as well! Had my information session/diet and nutrition class today....Has me feeling both excited, anxious, and nervous!! Dr. ordered me a liquid diet only a week prior to surgery. Best of luck to my fellow 12th-ers!

cross my legs for the first time in I don't know when. Years and years maybe.
And I purchased some new underwear - 2 sizes smalled. Maybe TMI, but to me it is a big deal.

I was told liquids two weeks prior and no caffeine

Hey same here i had a DKA and was insulin dependent but i stopped insulin in the pre op stage dr. Advised me not to take insulin if my numbers were under 6 which they were and have been since the pre op diet. So yay no more insulin no more metphormen etc. Onlyy issue I've had was about 1st week post op my number were always 4.0 4.2 4.1 which i than was advised to drink some juice with a little Water so i didn't get a low blood sugar. Im 2 weeks post op and doing great with my non diabetes

My surgery date is 1-13-2015...so excited..i worry will i maintain after surgery....I've decided...I WILL!

There is no guarantee the surgery will cure Type II, however, it does a hell of a job getting rid of insulin resistance! So if you maintain the post-sleeve diet and keep your carbs reasonable, your body should have no problems pumping out the right amount of insulin.
I am Type I (autoimmune) but I had a lot of insulin resistance as well. I may have been a Type I /Type II hybrid. At any rate, now that the insulin resistance is gone, my blood glucose levels are far easier to control. What a relief!

I was on insulin 3x per day and 1000 mg of Metformin twice a day. My best A1c was 6.5 and my fasting numbers were usually between 110 and 135.
Since surgery, I have been in remission. I no longer take any medications for my diabetes. My last A1c was 4.2.
I eat less than 40 g of carbs per day.

Had RNY done last Thursday so far I don't have high blood pressure anymore. My insulin dosage used to be 8u,10u,18u nova rapid for each meal and 60u lantus for bed now I take just lantus 40u. I'm type 1 diabetic and told that insulin diasage will drop more. Not sure on my under active thyroid yet I'll wait and see.
But to hear my blood pressure is ok n not needing tablets is great.

My surgery date is 12 Jan!! im so excited to get started but worried about how I'm going to manage my Diabetes (insulin dependent) with the first couple of weeks of not eating much!
