Topic: RE: Diabetic question

I had my surgery at the end of June with Dr. *****ett in Columbia, and at the time of surgery, I was taking 2 shots of Lantus each day, 50 units each. Now, 3.5 months later, I'm down to 25 units once per day. Still taking my Metformin oral meds, but I've decreased my Lantus by 75%, basically. And again, that's just in about 3.5 months. I agree - best thing I ever did for my diabetes. I have hope that someday my diabetes will be fully resolved. I hope your husband experiences the same.

Hi Wanda, Glad you are all right.....Leaks usually fix them selfs, unless they are real bad, But as far as protein. get as much as you can.....I had a hard time with isopure. I had to mix it with crystal lite and sip sip sip it's like you are constantly sipping. but that's the best way to do it . I would fix me 2 oz at a time and sip for a hour or so. I tried to make everything I drank have protein in it. They let us have skim milk in the first phase that helped. I did sip muscle milk lite in phase 2 just don't use the straw you will have painful gas if you do. The hunger you feel is head hunger. it will pass in the next phase. So glad you are in the Loser family now......

Topic: RE: Diabetic question

I was diabetic type 2 had to take shots and pills, I came home from hospital no more shots, and no more pills. I took my blood sugar for about a month and it was fine Dr B said I didn't have to check it anymore. So it was immediate for me. Best thing I ever did.

Topic: Diabetic question

My husband is planning to have surgery probably early next year. He is diabetic and is worried about this with the surgery. He takes 2 shots a day (50 units) and also takes medication for it. If anyone had this before surgery, I would like to know how the surgery affected the problem? I appreciate all help. Thanks

I think Dr. Bour usually waits to see if the leak will fix itself, which is usually does. I had a very hard time getting in my protein to start off. I am allergic to red dye on top of the taste issue, LOL. I am out 18 months now and can't remember what I did. I know I ate a lot of eggs and chili in the blender was the best thing ever, LOL. Yes, there is a LOT of commercials about food on the TV. The only advice I can give is try your best to get in what you can. Push the liquids. I could not stand the taste water had when I started losing (metal taste) so I am still hooked on Propel. My niece says it is too sweet for her since surgery. Just take is one day at a time and get your vitamins in.

I'm glad to hear everything went fine. Getting used to getting the protein in is rough at first. I remember those days. It does get easier though. Even if you don't think it will. It does. Just hang in there and just get as much protein in as you can. Each day just try for alittle more. You'll get there. Good luck. Teresa M.
