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.

I think it was one of the Drs. he use to partner with the practice split in late 2014. I believe it was Dr Moazzez. She spoke very highly of him.

August 10th. Looking foward to it!

August 11, 2015.

August 4th here best of luck to you all!!!!

Congratulations! Beautiful blue we're schedule the same day.

Aug 20 here!!! I have a upper GI Endoscopy on July 16 and If everything is ok then I hope to get a call for confirming my August 20 date, and with a time!!! I got a 3 week pre op diet and will I'm 6 weeks out from surgery, I've started it now to help me get on track!! I'm so happy to have found this site!!!

Congratulations KrissieAnn.

Thank you! Is it just me or does this feel surreal?? I'm in Canada so it works a little different out here, I've been doing the program for 7 months now! Most people take a year plus, there is one lady who is on year 6 of program! So I'm happy they passed me off to the dr ☺️

Hopefully everything goes great for you all

Thank you Keejay, to you as well.

KrissieAnn you did good then. It's definitely surreal. Mine will be exactly eight month from my initial consultation. After all the requirements were meet and sent for approval, I was approved for surgery in 5 days instead of the 30 day turnaround I was told was the standard. So I was in disbelief at first.

Pink peonies, i only lost 30lbs, but I did great on other tests!! This place is all about making the changes, not weight loss ! So it's nice! But this waiting for the last couple appts is killing me, and oh ya the 1200 cal diet I'm on makes me feel hungry

ALL THE TIME ???? I feel bad for my other half, as iv been saying lately, don't piss off the lady starving her self or come between her and HER food! I feel like I'm going to go crazy ????, how is everyone else doing with pre op diets?? Is it me or is this hard? I know it's to shrink the the liver but it still sucks!!
