How Much did you loose on your two week pre surgery diet?



Recommended Posts

Am almost half way through and was wondering just how much everyone else has lost?

I only lost 2 lbs on the liquid diet! I can't believe it, but it's true. I know taking 2 oral diabetes meds and 2 different kinds of insulin doesn't help, but I was quite surprised. I stuck to that diet, completely.

@ - I start my liquid diet Thursday (I only have to do 1 week for some reason). Did you lower your metformin during the liquid diet and/or have any low blood sugar moments? Sort of concerned about that.

@@Daisee68 Hi, No, I didn't lower my metformin. My Dr. had me stop my Glipizide before I started the liquid diet, and I had low readings, but not too low that I got sick.

Two days after surgery I stopped needing my short acting insulin (Humalog), Metformin and Glipizide. The only thing I take now, after surgery, is 50 units of Lantus. I suspect that will go down too, as I'm getting readings in the morning in the high 80's now!!! It's like I don't have diabetes anymore. Trust me, I came from having readings in the 400's and 300's often! I am amazed.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
