Do any if you eat peanut butter? I have been eating about half an apple with about a tbsp of peanut butter. I aslo like cottage cheese with a bit of salsa and a couple if wheat crackers. String cheese and a couple of slices of slices turkey. I just wish I would only stick to these. There are days I crave chips, or sweets. Ugh! At times I wish I would've decided on the rny so I couldn't eat junk food.

Hi! How do we upload pictures? Sue you look great. Well I'm guilty of eating snacks too. I am just tempted to snack all day. I put my foot down and I'm drinking my water and keep reminding myself I can't drink and eat. I hope it works. I gained almost 2 lbs. And since I'm drink more water I lost 1. Ugh how I hate that! I've missed you all and I'll be on here more often. Oh I finally found out how to add pictures. When I feel brave I'll post it.

I have 5 as well.

Happy new year! Hope all is well. I haven't been written for a while but I've been keeping up. Well these past two days were horrible food wise. I ate more carbs that should have. I did gain a pound which makes me sad. But only motivates me know to keep going forward.

I'm a little 3 months out and I'm 20 lbs to goal. I know they say we keep losing for about a year. What happens when we get to goal before the year? How do we maintain? How will our little pouch handle it? Ugh! I hate it when I start questioning myself and not know the answers. Hope someone can help out. I emailed my nut. Maybe I can see her soon.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I did get an appt. To see the nut. Tomorrow.

How long after you saw the surgeon did you get your surgery date? I had the first appointment with mine on July 16th. then he gave me another month to lose 10 lbs. and finish all of my testing. Today I had a phone appoint. with the nurse practitioner and he told me maybe another month after I see the surgeon. That means 2 looooong months of waiting. It's killing me because I have to plan my classes ahead of time and it's slowing me down. Thanks.

My surgery was 3 months from the day I starred the process.

Thank you. I will try giving her a call either tomorrow or Monday. I thought they were all the same. We had a large group of 20 ppl. And all thought we were to get blood work.

Thanks. Yea Kaiser So. San Francisco. Is that playa vista near marina del Rey? If so I used to go to that Kaiser before moving north. I was very disappointed. I'm going to call my dr. To have her order labs for me.

Well I went to my 3 month appointment and I feel it was a waste of my 2 hours. There was a large group of people and the nutritionist went over everything we had discussed pre-op. Didn't have blood work until 6 months post op. Ugh! Pretty upset I was hoping I get some help with my eating options but now I have to call to set up an appointment with them. I think I've mentioned this before but I really don't like the nutritionist that I was assigned. If I get her I will request for a different one. Hope everyone is well.

I'm kind of nervous for tomorrows appointment. I have to admit I have been bad, I haven't been taking all my vitamins nor have I been eating or drinking all my protein. I can't even get all my water in. Ugh! Wish me luck.

NGM glad to hear you had a good appointment. How long was the appointment? I have mine tomorrow but have no clue how long it'll be.

I get the thick saliva thing most call slime when I eat too fast and or eat a bite to much. It's an awful feeling. It goes away shortly.

Has anyone have their 3 month post op appointment? I have Kaiser and I have mine on Thursday I know I have to have blood work done bit don't know if I have to fast. ?

I had it done at Kaiser south San Francisco. I had it done September 13 th. Where in S.F. do you work? (area, not wanna.sound like a stalker.. lol!)

I am 4'11" and at my heaviest I was 196. I started the process at 184 if I recall properly. The day of surgery I weighed 174. I did this for me to be healthier and to get rid of the comorbitities. I too got a lot of crap from people.not understanding why I was going to do this, did I care? No, I did it for me. I am 2 months out of surgery free of the comorbitities and I am 50 lbs lighter. I am 30 lbs away from goal. Do this for you. Don't let anyone discourage you. Good luck.

Surgery on 9/13/12 and I've lost 30 lbs since surgery making it a total of 50 lbs total.. went from a size 3xl top and 18 pants to a med top and 9/10 pants. Putting me 30 lbs from goal weight. But the biggest achievement is my diabetes is in remission. Yay!

I'm in San Francisco had my surgery in S.S.F.

Yay! I met and surpassed it by 2 lbs. I'm officially. 146 today. For those of you who did not make goal today don't be hard on yourself, you will get there sooner than later. We have a wonderful tool that works wonders. Sometime it's a little stubborn but we will get to out personal goal soon.

Thank you all for the good wishes. I was able to drink about 30 oz. Of liquids and about 1/2 cup soup without throwing up.
