You are amazing! -
I haven't had my surgery yet. I'm still in the beginning phase. I have my first surgeon appointment on 7/14 unless he has any cancellations before. I have been on the pre-op diet since 5/15 and have lost 21lbs since 5/13!!

LOL about the swimsuit. I still wear one too but I hate it. It's the walk of shame from when I take off my cover up and get into the pool and then the long journey back to my towel. I feel like all eyes are on me. And what there is to be seen is not pretty. Pretty embarrassing more like.

Awwwwwwww, Love it. -
FINALLY the scale moved again! It was stagnant for a week!! It's only .7lbs but I'll take it! I decided I had to bring out the big guns and start hiking for exercise. It took me 1hr 20mins to do a hike that only took me 49 mins when I was 60lbs lighter. But it's a great first step and damn is it hard!

I'm a pescatarian (vegetarian that eats seafood) so my only protein that is animal based has to be seafood. I just had the Trader Joe's cajun salmon for lunch and I am in love! Hands down the best salmon I have ever eaten. It's the small things that excite me!!!!

Fast track through Kaiser
~winecountrygirl~ replied to Bandme1's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yeah it was packed, is it usually like that? I'm doing good. Started the pre-op diet and everything else the day after orientation. The 16 lbs is since 5/29 when I started a diet on my own. I have lost NOTHING since orientation and starting the pre-op diet!! It's SOOOO frustrating. I was doing a diet with an app on my phone from 5/29-6/14 eating 1900 calories a day and lost the 16lbs. Now eating about 1200 (usually less), still exercising the same as before (an hour a day, 7 days a week) and nothing! No budge on the scale. My first surgeon appointment is 7/14, my lifestyle class is 7/13 and I start my 14 week class at Kaiser Santa Rosa on 6/30. I'm calling Dr. Im for cancellations every couple days, they said it's rare for a consultation cancellation. -

Yes, I did the "Weight loss surgery: preparing for success overview class" at Santa Rosa before my doctor referred me to Richmond. Then after they got my referral I attended the "Bariatric Surgery Program Orientation" at Richmond. I did both alone. Now I'm scheduled for the "Bariatric Lifestyle Class" at Richmond and so I'm wondering if that's a good one for him to attend. Also, should he come with me to my first appointment with my surgeon? Thanks! Tanya -

Me again! Ok, so I attended orientation alone. What appointment from here on out should I bring my husband to? Should he come to the Lifestyles class and the surgeon appointment? I swear he's read through my binder more times than I have and he has it memorized! Anyway, he wants to be more involved and now I'm kicking myself for not bringing him to orientation and I don't want to miss any more opportunities for him to be involved. Thanks! Tanya -
I'm thinking a support group IN your pool sounds just about perfect for tonight!!

I'm feeling extra great today! I'm in a good super good mood, have a ton of energy and i'm just happy.
I think this pre-op diet, vitamins, water and exercise are finally starting to pay off! -

Good morning Sunshine! I'm thinking about you today, I hope your phone rings soon. I'm crossing my fingers.

Hey guys, I see lots of people talking about liquid diets, does Richmond Kaiser expect you to do that? According to my binder and what the nutritionist said it's the pre-op diet right up until the day before surgery and then nothing to eat or drink past a certain time, etc. Can you guys let me know your experiences? I've been on the pre-op diet since the 15th, last week, and will stay on it until surgery. It's not so bad. Thanks, Tanya
