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 am in California and am scheduled for Aug 10, 2015, just back from pre-op with surgeon. got my pre-op nutrition plan.

Ptsmile welcome onboard. I'm from California too, by the Los Angeles area. Where about are you and what procedure are you having?

I live in Santa Fe Springs. Having my surgery at PIH in whittier@@Pinkpeonies1

Just got moved to the August 4th after the nurse told me the 28th of july and after being on the liquid a day and a half ...cant believe it I was upset but I guess another week wont kill me

Thanks Sassy

@@ptsmile I live in Whittier, PIH is my medical designated hospital but was sent to Fountain Valley for mine. I was hoping I could stay at PIH with one of the doctors I saw there during the doctor's talks.

@@Niki15 I'm having the bypass August 4th. I know a week can seem forever. I had my one on one scheduled for today and it was postponed, definitely can be upsetting as it interferes with our plans but it'll all work out you'll see.

At 3:15 pm I get to have a gastroscopy !! Best park is NO FOOD OR DRINKS after midnight, so here I sit at 12:10am, wondering how I will last for the hours that I'm a wake ???? I all ready had a late night snack !! Now my tummy hurts and I'm ready to get sick ???? I'm going to try and sleep ! Night ladies!! Hope everyone is doing good ????

August 3rd for me! Have all rewuirements done, last visit with surgeon with my support system on Tuesday. Liquid diet starts on Sunday!

Just did my EGD fun ..now my throat hurts but other than that easy breasy

Thank you Niki15!!

I had something like this done when I was like 16 so 17 years ago and I vaguely remember it lol

kmoeko - good luck!! I feel like a liquid diet would be a lot better then the way that my diets going right now that I'm on ???? I have 1200 cal a day and then I must stay under 120 g of carbs no more than 20 g of fat and I have to eat roughly 75 to 85 g of protein, I have to read every single label and see if it meets the criteria now I have to add up all the calories and decide can I have that will fit into my daily meal plan or no seriously shopping just went from roughly an hour to about six hours!!

Best of all is I had met my deductble with an earler surgery this years so my bypass is free

Just got moved from Aug. 10 to July 27 at 2:15 p.m. Holy moley. I hope I can still be an honorary member of the August club!

Omg awesome news I am crossing my fingers I can move up as well
