GOOD LUCK ALL YOU PEEPS WITH SURGERY TOMORROW. MAY IT BE PAIN FREE, AND WITH OUT COMPLICATIONS.....ROCK ON AUGUST RUSHERS! PEACE OUT KELLY:thumbup:

good luck amaris!!!!!!

yeah,,,,,,,what are chia seeds?

WELL ALL, all that stuff I bought at wall-mart yesterday is quickly dwindling down, as my hunger is now a mental thing i can picture. I just don't feel satisfied. I feel like a tiger in a cage going back and forth waiting for my prey to come by so I can slash out and get a bite of meat!!!!!!:rolleyes2: What I wouldn't give for a couple old fashioned diet pills, yeah that would be the ticket...Only they stopped making those about twenty years ago! Oh well, my big project today will be to wash my moms car (yes by hand)...that should burn up some of this nervous energy I have, may be even get on my exercise bike for 30 minutes or so! PEACE OUT KELLYs

Well people, this soft diet was fun for about 6 hours....yuk yuk! This morning I chewed my cream of chicken soup. Still have today and tomorrow of this then Tues. start clear liqueds. Wed. bouyah lap band. Hopefully my tummy won't be thinking about food at least a couple days after surgery.....I live up in the mountians,in Ca. and it will be a 3 hour drive to get to the Bariatric Hospital from my house. My mom, and sister will be going with me (they are 100% supportive). We will be leaving at 4:00 a.m. Wed. morning. I have a little wieney dog (hence my avatar) that will have to spend the night alone, but the cleaning girl is coming that day, and she will bring her daughter "Story" and Story can play with Sophie while her mom cleans. I for sure am taking a pillow with me for the ride home! Also my boyfriend is 100% supportive of me too. I tell anyone who knows me that I'm having this done no one says shit to me cause I'm 5'9 and 262 pounds....HELLO! I learned a long time ago not to give a rats ass :tongue2:about what people say about me, I figure man thier lives must be really boring , if all they can do is talk about me. Well all you August Rushers Peace Out Kelly P.s. I will probably be rambling like this a few times a day, keeping me busy so to speak!:rolleyes2:

Hey wikwit, looks like you and me babe....same day! I know! I went to wall mart yesterday and bought all kinds of stuff... Still need to get the sf popsicles too! Just think.....in under 100 hours were going to be banded !

Well August Rushers......I rushed down to wall-mart this morning, and bought pudding, jello, creamy soup, protien powder (very good), and get this....something I very rarely do is ice-cream. Of course I got no sugar ice-cream...fell a little better about that. I get to do this today and tomorrow, but then Im on clear liqueds. Seeing that I never buy these, (because it would take a case of pudding or a case of yogurt to satisfy me)...It kinda feels like a treat! Wierd hugh? I even bought the stuff that makes you poop your guts out, magnesium citrate! I also got a bunch of powerade Zero to replace electrolites and keep me from being dehydrated after surgery. I was wondering about hot sauce, and rollercoaster rides.....I like both a lot!

Please join us in the August Rush forum, I am having my surgery is 4 days! I am feeling very excited,,,,,get in and get this done!

Jamie go to August Rush forum, we are all having surgery this month!

welcome Laurie to the August Rush group! This website is ssssoooooooo helpful, you can't imagine!

You know, I think the average is 100 pounds! Why do you have to have such a high bmi for insurance to pay for it? It doesn't make sense to loose only 50 pounds or so....

O.K. GIRLS,,,WANT TO GET SCARED?.... MY DR. JUST CALLED ME AT 8:30 P.M. AND SAID INSTEAD OF THE 6TH I AM NOW THE 4TH...OMG BECKY MY LIQUEDS START TOMARROW! I AM EVEN HAPPIER IT IS SOONER W.O.W.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEACE OUT EVERYONE.

Mellisa, we do have the same date, but I don't have any liqued pre-diet except for two days before surgery,,,,,,,that of course doesn't mean i'm cramming burgers and fries down my throat! Also I am not really a sweets eater. It seems like every single Dr. out there is different.

I think I smell shit!

thanks, but remarkably I figured it out myself.....go figger!

Well, I am now officially 7 days to go....Lots goes through your mind. Mostly (since I'm the impatient kind once I make my mind up) how to keep myself busy until then. This is a great avenue! Read, read, read! I guess just do the same thing I have been doing since I made my mind up to have this done!It will be interesting to see how we all do, will we meet our goals? What will be the hardest part for us once we are banded? What we like the most, will our taste buds change? Will the food demons in our heads finally shut the @$$& up? And how will it really feel to be able to take one bite and be full? AAHHHHHH the questions! I'm going to be posting a lot this week, as a way of keeping me from going stir crazy. So you all will get to know my rantings lol:biggrin: Till this afternoon PEACE OUT AUGUST RUSH BANDSTERS

I am telling everyone and anyone, information is knowledge, and if I inspire one person to take action like me so be it! I don't give a hoot what people say about me or the band....to each thier own. If they make some dumb remark (in my head) I'll think poor you. On the outside I'll say "you are entitled to your opinion"..so there!

tell me how you put the August rush in your window pleassssssse

Amanda you and me same day hugh? One week away! I am so excited, let's get in there and get this party started!

beachbunny pray tell how did you do the august rush thing?

Kate I thinkyou wrote one of the most inspirational things I have read......especially about the food voices in your head......I so related. I'm to be banded in one week, and I just want the voices to stop! thanks Kelly
