Looks like the walking and swimming dropped you very nicely. :)

Looks like the carbs in the bagel raised you 3 mmol/l.
 
You seem to be doing everything correct, congrats on that weight loss.
I see you're due your labs soon, ask the surgery nurse to add fating insulin or c-peptide to that panel.
It may indicate if you are producing enough insulin in a fasted state.

I agree with Antje77, the rise to 11.4 is more than likely the carbs in the bagel. I personally wouldn't be able to eat bread/bagels as it would also raise my bg an unacceptable (to me) amount.

I can't see on your profile what type of diabetes you have i.e Type 1 or Type 2 but if you're a Type 2, going low carb may well help reduce your bg. Well done on the weight loss!
 
type 2 managed for ages diet only. still high had upset stomach could be why so high. most of time do low carb. hardly ever have bread loads salad veg eggs fish chicken. downfall is a curry
