Hi,
I’m type 2 and due up in hospital for kidney/ bladder surgery next week. Hopefully it’ll only be an overnight stay. Thing is I’ve looked at the menu and there is nothing at breakfast to eat that isn’t carb based. I’m happy to fast usually but as I won’t be eating much the day before due to pre-op fast from midnight, I’m not sure I can go that long especially as I’m on gliclozide and sitagliptin.
Wondering if I can smuggle in some bouillon concentrate and get hot water so at least I have something to tide me over until I get released. Or some cheese in a coolbox? Lunch is at 12 and I can get an omelette so that’s ok. But breakfast is all cereals or toast which I would love but will send my readings sky high. And I’m lactose intolerant so can’t even have cereal if I wanted it.
Has anyone else managed to get around this? (Poxy livewell diet!)
TIA
