bloodsugars during pre-op

On the Pre-op diet, I knew the difficult part for me

would be the blood sugar. My physician said to keep a

close watch on the blood sugars and adjust medicines

accordingly.

Day 1 - Sunday - at 3:15AM this morning, had an attack

which equals to feeling like an earthquake is going on

inside my body. Got up and ate peanut butter and drank

a glass of 1% milk. Don't know my blood sugar reading

because I wasn't physically able to take it. Went back

to sleep.

Day 2 - Monday - at 3:15PM mild attack at work, I just ate

some Sugar-free pudding and I still feel shaky. bloodsugar =

102. Haven't taken any medication today.

I got to make it to Wed Jan 16, 2008 when I have my surgery.

The main reason I applied for the LapBand is because I couldn't

decide to eat light, I'm always having to feed the diabetes and

medicines, that's how I kept gaining weight. Anyway, I'll keep

plugging on because I want my liver to be ready for next Wednesday

but if you have any words of advice I'd appreciate it.

The liquid diet is not so bad because I've got various things to

drink. I put spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice - in my

Low-Carb Slim Fast Vanilla Creme to make it taste like eggnog.

I like Diet V8 Splash Berry Blend. In broth, I put just a few

pieces of broccoli in it just so I could bite into something.
