6 weeks after surgery, my blood sugars are doing very well.  Mornings are in the low 100s (107-125) and a low carb, high protein diet are keeping my readings after meals in the mid 100s (134-150). The amazing thing is that these numbers are without meds. I can't get over how good I feel right now.

I also gained 10 lbs while at the hospital!  Luckily, I knew it would happen, but I don't think it would be a full 10 lbs though.  I've been home for two days and have lost 4 lbs each day.  I know they need to keep us hydrated but sheesh!  Can't they make it a little lower flow?

I am diabetic also.  I asked repeatedly if the "lactated ringer's" solution they were giving me had sugar in it and the nurses and doctors all said no.  I got my blood sugars taken too (what a barbaric instrument they use! I bled all over the place!) and was given insulin.  I asked my surgeon when he came to visit why my sugars were so high and he said that it was because of all of the the "fluids" and that it would go down significantly when I got home.  He said whatever you do, don't give yourself insulin.

I've been at home for almost 3 days and my sugars are between 140 in the morning and 230 after my two measly ounces of protein shake (low carb of course).  Ridiculous!  I'm just keeping track and will report back to doc when I see him.

Hi Sheri,

I'm about to have wls.  I have type 2 D, and take insulin also HBP.  Are you happy with your RNY and is your diabetes gone.  I hope you are well and healthy.  I think the RNY is for me.

Thank you
