Hi Robbi and welcome. we do so much for the people in our lives that we often forget to rake care of ourselves. I could say that I am doing this for my daughters, or my granddaughters, husband, parents, etc. but it would be a lie. This is the first truly selfish thing I am doing for myself. My family will support me, but suffer. I am sure I will be a b***h on wheels during my pro op diet and for several months post op. will I be able to, or apwant to COOK for them. Hell no. But I will, but they will be eating more lean and green. I still have a 23 yr old and a 17 year old at home. This is my time. I deserve this. Ps. Spent 3 years in Ada, Ohio at Ohio Northern University. Now I am in New York.

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
Audrey523 replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am getting so nervous my fellow August sleeves. Just spoke to the dr and have appt with him for July 19 and to get my final blood work, EKG and chest X-ray on August 6. Just having these on my calendar is giving me butterflies. This picture was taken yesterday. Normally I would delete it immediately, but I didnt. It is to remind me why I'm doing this. Good luck to us all -
Hi. Great idea for a thread. My name is Audrey (duh). I am a 55 year young New Yorker from Queens. I have been happily married to my husband for 27 years. In those 27 years, he has gained 5 lbs to his runners 160 lb body, where I have gained 100! How can you love and hate a man so much. Lol. My 3 daughters are 26, 23 and 17. My grandchildren are 4 and 2. I teach math and social studies to emotionally disturbed middle school children, ages 9 to 14. I like science fiction and am addicted to twilight and true blood. Love my family. Trying to love myself.

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

I know. Just thinking about starting a thread called "I'm bored". What to do now. I was so consumed with getting everything completed to get the insurance approva Check. Made an appointment for the UGI for the end of this month. Check. Played around with some protein drinks. Check. Now I have to wait till August 2 for my doctor appointment and maybe end of July to starting thinking about the tests such as EKG, check X-ray and more blood work that needs to be done 2 weeks before surgery date. What to do now??? -

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
Audrey523 replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm mostly worried about the pre and post diets. Im not so good at sticking to a diet. Lol. Obviously. I'm trying to get use to it now, but I get so hungry. How many protein drinks are we allowed in a day? -

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
Audrey523 replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Shoe, doesn't the summer always fly by! May this summer be the fastest one on record. I think about this every day. Experimenting with different protein drinks, testing taste and how my blood sugars reacts. Shopping for the perfect nightie with pockets for my insulin pump for the hospital. Planning meals to make and freeze for my family. Biting my tongue when I almost say something to my daughters. They are 23 and 16 at home and my oldest 26 lives in Orlando. Not telling them till the very last moment. Every day that ticks off is another one closer to our new life. I'm practicing recognizing that full feeling and stopping eating before I get there. There is so many things to do and I feel like I'm traing for a marathon. Reading this forum everyday helps keep me on track. I went to the mall and didn't buy anything. I have enough fat clothes. I'm waiting till my target shirt,which is still a big big t, to fit. Having fun dreaming until our dream becomes our new reality. -
Good luck to you. Wishing you a quick and easy recovery.

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

I'm so excited that I downloaded not one but two countdown apps. So my August 20th date is 71 days away. Or 2 months10 days away! Wahoo. -
I downloaded that one a few days ago. It's not by a doctor but it's an interesting read. I'm pre op and it has given me tons of info like questions I should be asking my doctor. It's almost a book made up of the most interesting and useful threads here.

I am still pre op but I think your bs is low because your stil on a liquid diet. Just watch your numbers once you eat real food again. I am type 1 and on a pump so I will always be insulin dependent.
