It's so hard but exciting watching all the June people go in and seeing the July bunch start their pre-op diets and get ready for their big day, soooo I thought I would start a August thread for those of us who are gearing up for our turn!!

I have an August 13th date and start my pre-op diet in July 30th and time seems to be dragging by.. I have read all my books combed through this web site and been inspired!!

I have a few worries like my pre-op diet (3 Protein shakes a day and 64 ounces of Clear liquids only) what a bummer I am strangely excited to start that process but know it will be a challenge to be liquid only.. I have heard about the Swanson infused broths and planned to try those but I suppose our area hasn't caught up with the progressive world because our stores don't have them. So hopefully I can order from wal-mart website.. I have not even purchased any protein powders or Vitamins. I sure am excited though. I can't wait to "meet" more August RNYers.

@@loo loo right.... I'm so looking g foward to that and I just got back from vacation today.

I wanted to do it all at once but my work didn't want me to

Great! Good luck!! Keep me posted on your progress!!

@@GoHawksTX I too have that crappy high deductible insurance! $5,000 deductible first before they pay 80%. I've satisfied a great deal of it so far, but still have plenty to fork up. This doesn't have to be satisfied in hoping before surgery!

Preop done! Can't wait for the 17th to get here.

@@pinkpeonies how did your surgery go?? I hope all went well

Aug 14th here at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL
