[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1661025, member: 400972"] Sorry to hear about your need for surgery. I recently had a few nights stay in hospital just before Xmas. Any trauma will probably raise your blood sugar for a little while. I had surgery on one foot and a steroid shot in the other (steroid shots especially are renown for raising blood sugars). They will probably check your blood sugar on arrival, before each meal, in recovery and at bedtime. I took my own meter and did the aftermeal tests when I was able. If you have chosen a low carb diet then breakfast will be impossible! Cereals and toast were all I had to choose from. I took a cool bag with nuts, low sugar custard mini pots, Babybel cheeses, pork scratchings, some home made low carb shortbread and 10 cal jellies. I had some weird breakfasts! Lunch and dinner weren’t so bad, my hospital did at least have a plain omelette, veggies and side salad at every meal so that’s what I lived on. I chose a full fat creamy yoghurt for dessert as they were less carbs than the low fat ones but they weren’t ideal so I just had a couple of mouthfuls. Hope it all goes well for you x [/QUOTE]
