"Practice" Liquid Diet

Well, I've tried a 'practice' liquid diet today... It went very well, and I was never starving. I had Protein Jello, some G3, some egg drop soup/broth, and I found out one thing. If I don't eat, I don't drink as much - this is something I DEFINITELY need to work on, as I know I'll need to stay hydrated post-surgery.

Except for the bottle of G3, I didn't have any sugar/carbs except for the broth, and my blood sugar still didn't drop below 121 :(

I'm doomed.

Try not to freak out until you hear from a doctor what your outcome will be. It isn't helping your sugar level any being so stressed. Just take it as it comes...if you have to wait (but hopefully not) a short while to get your sugar under control. I really feel for you & wish you the best.

By the way, I guess I never thought of it but if I wasn't eating, I probably wouldn't be drinking! Oh noooooo.......so it will be hard for me to get my Water in! I kept thinking that it would be a piece of proverbial cake (with no sugar/carbs/calories) but probably not! :o Thanks for stressing me out now! :D

Funny :)
