Hey Everyone...I am a type II Diabetic and I take my fasting sugar every morning and before the pre op diet my sugars were around 113-124 and now that I am on the pre-op diet with bariatric advantage my sugar levels have been between 136-144...is this normal?...I called my doctor but he said to speak to the surgeon and the surgeon said to speak to my primary?!...I mean I am not freaking out because its not that high but still...doesn't seem right...

Are you putting any addons in the shake that might up the sugar content, like fruit? I know that BA shakes don't have much in terms of sugar or carb.

Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but I hope you get your answers from your primary. It's discouraging when you get the run around from your doctors.

No I am not adding anything to the shakes just drinking that and the bars I dont know its strange...

When i was doing the preop diet

I had 3 Protein shakes a day

and my sugars were in the 250 range!!

My body was starving for food...and I felt so sick and awful...headache and nausea so baaad!!!

I had such a hard time!

but now im post op..sugars are in the 110 -130 range...on less meds ONLY ONE med instead of THREE
