Okay, sounds good! Hopefully I will have gotten my surgery date AND have had my surgery by then Vacaville is perfect for me. Keep me posted!

Hi! Just wondering when/where the next in person meeting will be...Thanks!

Good luck to you! I will keep you in my prayers!

I have another appt on next week, 9/29/11. I have to see the NP. He's going to basically see if I am progressing with losing the 20lbs required for surgery. I have been eating right (small breakfast, decent lunch, and a protein shake for dinner). My daily calorie intake is 1200 or less. I have lost a few inches (yay for my hips), and a few lbs. My next appt w/ the surgeon is 10/27/11, and hopefully, I will be 20+lbs lighter!

I just bought this from Coscto this weekend! It tastes really good! FYI: I haven't been sleeved, yet. Still waiting on my date, and trying to lose 20lbs

Yeah, it is all required...I was just feeling down because I want this done- yesterday! But, after a few days of thinking, I know the delay is best! I have started on my pre op diet, and I'm looking forward to my new lifestyle changes! I do think I am an emotional eater Good, bad, sad, happy or glad- I want to eat. I'm looking forward to the class, now to help me find other alternatives to eating at every emotion. Thanks, again, for the encouragement! I needed that )

Good luck to you! I have to lose 20lbs before my surgeon will give me a date

This is gonna be sweet & quick. Or rather sour & quick. I went to see my surgeon today. He & the psych decided that I need to attend an emotional eating class. And follow the pre op diet in my handbook. And exercise everyday. And lose 20lbs. And come back in 2 months. And then I will get a date. As long as all of the above has been accomplished.

I am having my surgery at KP SSF, too! No date yet, though. How has your recovery going? Hoping all is well for you!

Thank you!

I'm gonna get the chop sticks! I like that idea! Thanks!

Hi, fellow VSG members! I am on this journey for the second time. I started this process in 2009, but chickened out due to all the nay sayers (you can lose w/out surgery, that's dangerous, you're taking the easy way out, etc, etc, etc.). Now, i am following though because I NEED/WANT to! If i had listened to my doctor in 2009, I would be at a healthy BMI and wouldn't be on all these meds and machines, today But I listened to all those people who don't have medical degrees. Anyways, here I am, following through to a healthy ME! I want to be able to enjoy my upcoming Fab 40's, and see grandkids one day. I have had all of my appts, including those w/ the NUT. Unfortunately, I haven't lost any lbs But I haven't gained any lbs, either I hope that doesn't stop my surgeon from giving me a surgery date. I have an appt at Kaiser on 8/31/11 to see my surgeon. I'm praying to get a date, then!
