How many carbs are in the yogurt and protein shakes? Believe it or not some shakes have a lot of sugar. Are still taking your diabetes medication? How long ago was your surgery? Stress and healing can cause some people's bs to rise. I would talk to your doctor if it doesn't come down. Not everyone is able to stop their medication after WLS. I hope this helps.

I see now that your surgery was ten days ago. Have your bs been normal and just today started going up? For me I have been keeping my daily carbs less then 30g mainly because of just focusing on protein and I haven't had a reading above 110. I would keep an eye on your levels and report it to your doctor if they don't come down.

Definitely tell your surgeon that your bs is complete bs and run some tests.

THat sounds like a lot of carbs in one day for a diabetic. I have not gotten anywhere close to that many carbs in a day. I would try to get your carbs down to 30 total for a day and see if that helps. Are you walking? Are on any medication? I think you should probably talk to your doctor. You haven't said if you are taking any medications?

Off meds, following full liqu diet dietician gave me. How do igetthe protein without carbs?

Choose the shakes and yogurt with the least amount of carbs. That is really all you can do until you are able to eat more variety. Once you are moved up to puréed and soft you can eat meat and vegetables Puréed well. Things like tuna salad, scrambled eggs, chicken salad, refried beans, cheeses.

Unjury protein is very low carb. I think 5 grams? It's what I use.

It is definitely challenging when you are a diabetic and have limited food choices.

What medications were you taking before surgery? My doctor told me not everyone is able to stop their medications after surgery. Some will still need them to keep bs controlled. I hope this isn't the case for you.

Ditching premiere protein for bar advantage.7 g carbs, 27 g protein. Ditch the yogurt i guess. Live on splenda tea and god awful bar advantage for next 3 days.

Bs can be a tricky thing. See your md that manages your bs and review your food logs with them. Stress, surgery, healing, hormones, all play into bs management.
