YES I am very happy to say that my blood sugar is under control. I
am on an insulin pump and only use about 37 units a day. This is compared
to 140+ units a day before surgery. I have been diabetic for more then 26
years so I don't expect to be cured but I am very very excited about what
has happened so far. Before surgery my blood glucose levels were at least in
the 200's many times higher. This caused a lot of health issues.

I had my WLS on June 8th. Since then I have been thirsty 24/7. Nothing I
drink quenches my thirst. I drink at least 2 liters a day and I am still
thirsty. Is this normal??? As a diabetic when I was not well controlled I
didn't drink as much as I do now. This is not making sense to me HELP.

Lisa:
So glad you liked the articles and found them useful. I think the protein 'issue' is an important one to revisit from time to time.
Your medical advice sounds great to me, as does your diet and exercise plan. I think you're in good hands :)

> Hi Victoria,
> Thanks for two amazing posts on Protein. I was told by our group dietician to eat at least 70 grams of protein per day. She said I should be eating a high protein, low fat, low carb diet. She also said each meal (4 of them) should be 3-4oz of protein & a veggie. The 2 snacks per day are used to increase protein intake. In addition, I must exercise.
> I've been keeping a food diary since mid-July. I've been able to eat at least 70 grams of protein per day on most days. I know I eat less fat and most of the fat comes from cheese and red meat. I also eat a bean dish that I made with cans of Black Beans, Kidney Beans & Chickpees (all Goya low-salt) along with 1 sauteed onion (sauteed in Olive Oil)and a splash of balsamic vinegar. I seasoned with Mrs. Dash because there's no salt. I eat the beans because I need more fiber in my diet since my WLS on 3/25/09. I can count on one hand the times I've eaten cake and it's always 1/2 of a 1/2 of a slice. I drink plenty of water and also skim milk. I don't like the way soda makes me feel and they told me not to drink it anyway.
> I also exercise. I started a new consulting project this week and I walk 20 minutes to the office in the morning (across NYC) and take a crosstown bus back to the train station. Some nites I also do a 1 mile (20 minute) Walk at Home program.
