Glucose test with a gastric bypass patient

I am curious to see if any of you mamas know the alternative way the doctor will do the glucose test? Since I had gastric bypass I can't have anymore than like 14 grams of sugar a day. That drink would probably make me very ill, and I've heard people say that there may be a different way to do it. Thanks in advance :

    I think there's a specific meal you're supposed to eat a certain amount of time prior to the blood draw.

    Also, your doctor should be able to advise you on the test procedure for someone in your position.

    I'm sure every ob is different but I have a friend who had the surgery and her doc didn't want her to do the gluclose test. She had to monitor her blood sugar at home for a few days instead. If there is a meal I'd much rather do that than the other options.

    Thanks guys! I hope it's just a meal that I can eat. That would be easiest. And if its not, and I am not allowed to eat that day before my appointment, I will be so sick. Ergh. I'm hoping on Monday at my a/s my doctor will tell me what she is planning to do!
