Diabetes is killing me!

I am scheduled for 2/24 with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I started a week early on his 6 day pre-op diet to prepare myself for the lifestyle change. Bye Bye Diet Pepsi & the drive-thru.

I am 19 months out and deal with hunger by, well, eating often. If I am ever hungry, I go eat some Protein which might even be a baby bell lite, but usually a little solid lean protein. Meals are every 3 hours and have 3-4 oz of dense protein and 1-2 oz of veggie. I eat carbs in the form of Fiber one for 1st meal (with a premier shake) and steel oats/fiber one/protein powder before working out. I know, it is a strange combo, but it really helps with energy during short, but intense, CF workouts (10-30 min of metabolic conditioning and 10-20 min of lifting). Last meal is a filling casein shake. So there you have it. I start eating at 6 am and finish at 9 pm trying to eat as much protein as possible in 3-4 oz portions. This keeps my insulin response fairly constant and there are no uncontrollable urges to scarf something. However,there are times when I am hungry 1 hour later. I just go eat something in the form of lean protein.

My surgery date is Feb 14th with Dr. Garcia in Mexico.
