I know that I feel the same way. I can meet both my protein goals and water intake pretty easily, so I feel like nothing has changed yet. Maybe when I move on to solid food next week??

Thanks for the insight and advice r apidfirepickle! I'll try having a shake toward the end of my day and take a walk in the evening as well. It was my first high reading since surgery so it might not be a trend. Checked last night and was at 101. Will just have to keep an eye on it.

Checking at 630 and 630 in the morning and evening.

Yeah since my procedure this was my first high reading. Been checking it 2x per day since I got home on the 26 of may. Appreciate the response.

On pre-op diet sugars were doing so well that I was cut down from 60 units of Lantus to 15. When I was released on the 27 I was told I no longer needed any of my diabetes medication and was only on one blood pressure med. This morning I had a fasting blood sugar of 143 mg/dl and my question is if that might be okay for now while the body is still adjusting? I have an appointment next week with the Endo but just looking for some general experiences from the group. I know I'd much rather have my sugar running a little higher than lower since I'm still on liquid diet until the 7. I know I can't do much but I guess I'll start increasing my time walking today see if that can reign in my numbers as well. Thanks!

I cheated a few times on the Pre-Surgery diet. Once I had a really low BG reading and so I had a party size butterfinger (the best candy bar I've ever had in my life). I also snuck some chicken in on mother's day and a small plate of food a few days later. It's not recommended but it's also not the end of the world. Just try to do the right thing most of the time and the liver is probably going to be small enough to do the procedure. That being said, I was warned that a patient of my doctor's really liked cream of chicken soup. So much so, that when it came time to do her procedure her liver was too big and they had to stop her procedure. Like I said, I tried to do the right thing for the most part and I was able to get my sleeve. Just keep your eye on the prize!

I've been having them off and on for a short period after drinking. I'm still on full-liquid phase. guess its air being taken in with my drink.
