Is Anyone Else Scheduled For August?

Me too! So far so good but it's only been a few hours!

Ahh!! Good luck - please keep us posted. My doctor has us do 2 full weeks of liquid diet - no solids at all. I won't lie - I'm nervous about being able to do that! I've done cleanses, fasts, etc before and since I am so addicted to carbs, I got major headaches and was really irritable by the second day! How long is your pre op diet for?

Two full weeks for me too! I'm on Optifast, 6 servings a day and I have decided to do 3 shakes, 2 bars and 1 Soup. I'm not quite sure how I feel yet but I definitely miss food!

You get to have bars as in something you can chew?? I wonder why I can't, then? I feel like I'm going to miss chewing something solid!

I allowed only Optifast and Water too. Pre surgery is any optifast product ie shakes, bars, Soups and Desserts.< /p>

AUG 7. I'm worried about everything!!!!

[duckydoom 128]

So no other Aug 21sts?

I'm worried, too, though the worry is going away as I get closer. I'm not on my liquid diet yet, but I'm doing a Dukan Attack-style approach before then to get used to eating less and primarily Proteins. It's kind of hard thus far, which is why I figure I should start training myself now.

I've been drinking Muscle Milk light, my phone nutritionist said that's okay, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll switch me to something like Optifast for the 2 week preop and then post op.

I'm so frustrated! I got the FMLA paperwork from my employer, but the surgeon's office won't fill it out until I get approval from my insurance company AND have a tentative surgery date! I feel like it's going to be a last minute thing trying to get my paperwork in. I may end up being a September bander if this keeps up
