I feel you. I was supposed to lose 20% or 25 pounds. I tried low Cal. But I'm going to try Atkins next. The weight melts off when I have done it. But I LOVE bread. Oh well better do it now. I don't know how I would handle a liquid diet. Good luck

I also watch the youtube channels. I feel it's an honest opinion from real people. I have had the pleasure of watching Slimmingjacks, she is very inspiring. I will check out the other channels. Good luck to you, you came to the right place.

I would like to join I'm 5'2 266.6 pounds today. I'm in southern California, I am a Kaiser Permanente patient. I plan on having surgery in West Los Angeles soon hopefully. I have completed all of their requirements and waiting for the call to schedule an appointment with a surgeon. How is everyone doing? I'm anxious to follow your progress. I found an old WW boom and was sad to see that at 204 I was still a size 18. I'm a very tight 20, refuse to buy anymore clothes for now.

266.6 this morning.

I've learned so much reading this tread. Thank for the laugh.

Same here I'm worried about not losing. I'm thinking of starting a juice fast.

Karen did you lose the 10%? I haven't, I'm still waiting for my appointment with a surgeon.

I want to get on a jet ski and not worry I won't be able to get back on. I want to ride a horse for the first time. I want to on roller coasters again.

Thanks guys I completed my psych evaluation today. So the dr. told me to wait a week from Friday for a call. When do you guys think I should call. Btw I'm a southern California kaiser patient.

I know exactly how you feel. I am also waiting for that call.

Hi I will add you. Everyone else is free to add me too. I need to get on track again. Ninalara88

Congrats on getting one step closer. I'm also a kaiser patient, going through WLA. How long did it take for you to get the call to schedule your appointment with the surgeon?

I like isopure!! It's kinda like drinking cough medicine but better than nothing

In our options class we were told the protein shots were the wrong type of protein.

Great job!!

Hi I have started using myfitnesspal. Please add me ninalara88. Can't wait to follow you on your journey.

I'm determined to lose my 10% I'm 5'2 270. My goal is to go to surgery weighing 240. I have a stationary bike in front of the tv watching the biggest losser on netflix. It's so motivating. I just finished my first hour and a half = 30 miles =1000 calories burned. The only reason I'm stopping is my back is killing me.

Hi, congrats on starting class. I learned a lot. Karen 2012- I am being referred to the west los Angeles location from Fontana. Did you already meet with the baritrition and mental health?

Coffee is one of the things I will miss the most. But I drink coffee because I don't have energy. I'm hoping after the surgery I will start to feel my natural energy, and won't need that jump start.

Good luck! God bless

I'm in the same boat with you. Let's make a plan to do this together. All the suggestions are great. I'm thinking I might start a 2 protein drinks /low carb diet on Monday. Lol why do I always say Monday?

What's your favorite Greek yogurt? Or recipe made with Greek yogurt? I'm liking oikos.

Im pre-op, but I have thin hair already so I started taking biotin 8 weeks ago. I can see baby hair growth.
