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.

Just got my date. RNY August 25th. I see the doctor for my pre op surgery this Wednesday. He will give me all my prep stuff. The true count down has started. I started this journey the end of January when I found out I was diabetic, had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I already had sleep apnea. I asked the doctor for a referral for WLS. So I started classes the end of February. For 3 months. Then I started doing all the testing that the doctor requested. Did one pre op with the surgeon. I have lost 47 pounds. I have 80 more to go to the doctors goal. 100 to my goal. I have a 1200 - 1400 calorie doctors diet I will start Wednesday. It is high protein low carb. Basically what will be my post op diet when I can start eating full food. I only get a 3 day true pre op diet.

Im from southern Cali. My date is Aug 4th. Im excited. Mostly nervous and a little scared to death.

Good luck to everyone❤️
