Well...I'll smash those toes!!!
Do not stop your metformin!!!! Not now anyways...
You really, truly need to be in the best possible shape to have this surgery and if you have a HIGH glucose level...it's going to screw you up in the long haul, that is if your doctor will even do surgery! My anesthesiologist tested mine right before surgery. I KNOW first hand how crappy Metformin/Glucophage can be on your tummy...talk to your doctor about possibly changing medications, there are alot out there to try.
That said...yes, I had two milk shakes, In-N-Out, and other not-good-for-you foods...and I hardly EVER ordered milk shakes (maybe 1 a year). But know that you will be able to eat your favorite foods...you may need to "modify" them to fit your pouchies mood-swings though.
Again...PLEASE get those sugars under control...this is your LIFE you are risking...can you say C-O-M-A?
Sorry...but it concerns me greatly.

PS~ I "weaned" myself off of caffeine prior to surgery...I'd highly recommend that too!
