I am 5 days out and am consuming about 1200 cal. That is of course counting my 81 grams of protien drink in the morning(first to get it out of the way)....I do log everything! Been just couching it and have lost a pound a day easy-peasy. I know I will hit platues(spelling?) I'll fight that demon when I get there! Maybe a little more than a pound a day, but I'm sure a lot of it was water, and I had no preop diet!

congradulations sockmonkey!

hang in there, after tomorrow you won't be obsessing at all, cause your tummy will be sore:)

Hello August Rushers.....well, I am amongst the banded. It went smooth no pain, (except what was to be expected).I am now on the straw diet! Anything i can get through a straw, I can have! Oh and it really doesn't matter how big the straw is.........well I have some pretty big straws in my house..lol! My big craving is one egg, scrambed with mayonaise and mustard (very low carb). I did take my vitamins this morning and did not have to break them in half or anything like that. Still kinda tired and am on pain medicine whoooo, whoooo (makes me loopy) Will fill you in on more later.... HAPPILY BANDED 8/3/2010:thumbup:

where did you get your lap band thingi? "i can do it"?

o.k., everyone calm down about the poo-poo medicine! I'll tell you. It is magnesium citrate ( I got grape flavor) from wally world A.K.A.wall-mart.I am planning to take this very, very soon and they say don't get too far from your bathroom facilities OH BOY! Anyway this is a "preserved saline laxative oral solution". Any other questions about the poo-poo juice, just let me know! PEACE OUT KELLY:redface:

Well fellow AUGUST RUSH friends, guess what? The Dr office called me this morning and my surgery is tomorrow morning! 24 hours earlier than the previous 3 day early reschedule! I'm so excited, but also kind of bitchy cause, haven't had a period in 9 months, and I started spotting this morning (Murphey's Law). Oh well I'm not going to worry bout it and maybe it will just go away...lol Oh yeah I have to take the poo-poo medicine today , well in a little while......Never done that before. Probably the next time I talk to all you fine people I will be banded. That's all for now! PEACE OUT KELLY:cool:

curveycat....are you saying that in under two months you have lost 58 pounds? Man, you rock girl!

Well good morning everyone! It is now exactly 48 hours till "HAPPY BAND-LAND" As far as the diet, haven't cheated one bit! But I have been stuffing my face with sf icecream, sf pudding, lf yogurt (yum), and cream soup. I have also been peeing like a racehorse, and managed to loose 10 pounds of water i'm sure! Been going to bed at 8:00 so tomorrow will hurry up and get here! Going to be packing my hospital bag today, I know they have lists here and in my personal papers....Will be reading up on that. I ain't going to a beauty contest, so I really am not to worried about it. I hope I have enough creamy stuff to last today as I won't be going to town until tomorrow.....remember I live up in the mountians, don't get to town everyday. All the demons are pretty quiet in my head today,can't think of much else to say! PEACE OUT till later KELLY:biggrin:

MMMAKAILA hope your surgery goes stunningly!

How much weight have you lost?

GOOD LUCK ALL YOU PEEPS WITH SURGERY TOMORROW. MAY IT BE PAIN FREE, AND WITH OUT COMPLICATIONS.....ROCK ON AUGUST RUSHERS! PEACE OUT KELLY:thumbup:

good luck amaris!!!!!!

yeah,,,,,,,what are chia seeds?

WELL ALL, all that stuff I bought at wall-mart yesterday is quickly dwindling down, as my hunger is now a mental thing i can picture. I just don't feel satisfied. I feel like a tiger in a cage going back and forth waiting for my prey to come by so I can slash out and get a bite of meat!!!!!!:rolleyes2: What I wouldn't give for a couple old fashioned diet pills, yeah that would be the ticket...Only they stopped making those about twenty years ago! Oh well, my big project today will be to wash my moms car (yes by hand)...that should burn up some of this nervous energy I have, may be even get on my exercise bike for 30 minutes or so! PEACE OUT KELLYs

Well people, this soft diet was fun for about 6 hours....yuk yuk! This morning I chewed my cream of chicken soup. Still have today and tomorrow of this then Tues. start clear liqueds. Wed. bouyah lap band. Hopefully my tummy won't be thinking about food at least a couple days after surgery.....I live up in the mountians,in Ca. and it will be a 3 hour drive to get to the Bariatric Hospital from my house. My mom, and sister will be going with me (they are 100% supportive). We will be leaving at 4:00 a.m. Wed. morning. I have a little wieney dog (hence my avatar) that will have to spend the night alone, but the cleaning girl is coming that day, and she will bring her daughter "Story" and Story can play with Sophie while her mom cleans. I for sure am taking a pillow with me for the ride home! Also my boyfriend is 100% supportive of me too. I tell anyone who knows me that I'm having this done no one says shit to me cause I'm 5'9 and 262 pounds....HELLO! I learned a long time ago not to give a rats ass :tongue2:about what people say about me, I figure man thier lives must be really boring , if all they can do is talk about me. Well all you August Rushers Peace Out Kelly P.s. I will probably be rambling like this a few times a day, keeping me busy so to speak!:rolleyes2:

Hey wikwit, looks like you and me babe....same day! I know! I went to wall mart yesterday and bought all kinds of stuff... Still need to get the sf popsicles too! Just think.....in under 100 hours were going to be banded !

Well August Rushers......I rushed down to wall-mart this morning, and bought pudding, jello, creamy soup, protien powder (very good), and get this....something I very rarely do is ice-cream. Of course I got no sugar ice-cream...fell a little better about that. I get to do this today and tomorrow, but then Im on clear liqueds. Seeing that I never buy these, (because it would take a case of pudding or a case of yogurt to satisfy me)...It kinda feels like a treat! Wierd hugh? I even bought the stuff that makes you poop your guts out, magnesium citrate! I also got a bunch of powerade Zero to replace electrolites and keep me from being dehydrated after surgery. I was wondering about hot sauce, and rollercoaster rides.....I like both a lot!

Please join us in the August Rush forum, I am having my surgery is 4 days! I am feeling very excited,,,,,get in and get this done!

Jamie go to August Rush forum, we are all having surgery this month!

welcome Laurie to the August Rush group! This website is ssssoooooooo helpful, you can't imagine!

You know, I think the average is 100 pounds! Why do you have to have such a high bmi for insurance to pay for it? It doesn't make sense to loose only 50 pounds or so....

O.K. GIRLS,,,WANT TO GET SCARED?.... MY DR. JUST CALLED ME AT 8:30 P.M. AND SAID INSTEAD OF THE 6TH I AM NOW THE 4TH...OMG BECKY MY LIQUEDS START TOMARROW! I AM EVEN HAPPIER IT IS SOONER W.O.W.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEACE OUT EVERYONE.

Mellisa, we do have the same date, but I don't have any liqued pre-diet except for two days before surgery,,,,,,,that of course doesn't mean i'm cramming burgers and fries down my throat! Also I am not really a sweets eater. It seems like every single Dr. out there is different.

I think I smell shit!
