Official August thread! Where are you guys?

Yeah me too. I lost all my weight with the band and did good 5 yrs until it slipped. I am so afraid of side effects that I know that alone will keep me on check. My only concern is malnutrition when old age. I don't know why I keep thinking when I really old (if I get to that age) will I have the proper nutrition, supplements etc but then I think why am I worrying about that know.... It'll all be fine. Lol

Alright, this is my first post and I am excited (and slightly nervous) to say that my surgery is scheduled for Aug 17th. Today is my first day on the pre-op diet and the first few hours are going ok. I set hourly reminders in my phone to drink my Water, Protein, Jello, etc. I figured if I can stick to an hourly regimen (as much as possible), then maybe I will have better luck. I have already had small gurgle noises coming from my stomach. Thankfully I have a very understanding boss and told him to ignore all weird noises my body makes and to please have patience with me if I seem grumpy or irritable. I'm not looking forward to how I will feel this weekend, as I like to go out and eat on the weekends and obviously that is out of the question. I begged my husband to keep me occupied as much as possible. I know I can do this. I purchased the vanilla Protein Powder from costco. I'm not going to lie, it was pricey but it only has 2g of carbs and 24 or 25g of protein! I am allowed 5-6 a day as long as each Protein Drink is under 15g of carbs, so that gives me wiggle room to add flavorings. I am aiming for 5 Protein Shakes a day. No real food for me. I saw someone mention they can have raw veggies and got jealous! Alright fellow August people, lets kick some butt!

We can do this! We want to do this!

I can't wait to be a healthier and skinnier me!!!!

I am having a revision from band to bypass on August 12th...this is my 3rd day of preop diet and I am doing ok...I am allowed one meal of 3 oz of lean Protein and 2 C of raw or 1 C of cooked vegetables per day and I know that has been a saving grace for me...

my emotions have been all over the place...excited scared anxious calm...I even had an evening where I was crying and feeling sad for the losing the person I have been my whole adult life...Crazy I know but just part of it I assume...
