Update
Well, I have lost 80lbs and my diabetes has gotten so much better! Recently my numbers were mostly in the 4's so they lowered my Metformin dose from 2 x 850mg/day to 2 x 500mg/day! My numbers are still pretty low so I'm thinking it won't be too long until I can stop taking the Metformin for good! Now to get rid of the sleep apnea & high blood pressure (though blood pressure med was lowered recently too!)
I got through the week of full fluids ok this week (thankfully, my husband did it with me - it would suck to be stuck eating liquids when everyone else is having steak! lol) and tomorrow I will just be having clear liquids with no protein powder so it looks like it will be a loooong day. Then surgery Tuesday! For those of you just starting the liquids, it gets better after a couple of days, so hang in there!
I lost 7lbs on the liquids this week (not counting tomorrow).
