  1. So I reached goal weight over the weekend to be able to schedule surgery. I was going to head to kaiser this morning to do my official weigh in to get it documented and get to schedule surgery...however I started my period last night and now I'm two lbs up! Any suggestions before weigh in? Quick workout? Water help!
  2. I have to be a certain weight before they will even put me on the schedule I'm getting so frustrated and down. My weight keeps going up and down even though I'm doing all the right things.
  3. Thank you I'm trying!
  4. Just need to get these last 3 lbs off then I will get scheduled! Hoping no later than September!! Hopefully I'll be joining all if you!
  5. Ok 3.4 lbs to go to schedule surgery... They are Taking forever to come off!!
  6. When can you eat raw fish at a sushi place
  7. Got it! I was going to the some kettle bells too. I just wish I had a surgery date Ana could start liquid diet and get this going!
  8. I've been increasing the incline
  9. It's kaisers rules. I had to loose 20 and I'm down 15
  10. Could be stress. I've also had a damn period for a month! I've been getting on treadmill for 20-30 min a day. Eating around 1300 cal.
  11. I only need 5lbs to go to get surgery and I can not get these pounds off!!! Driving me crazy
  12. hahahaha exactly!!! Well I have had a fairly smooth ride so far. Luckily the weight has been coming off and I do use shakes often but also real food. y surgeon did require weight loss of 20 lbs. Im 5 lbs away. No options plan here. For me what I have found is the meals are the most important. For breakfast I do one egg and one egg white scrambled with half a cup of cottage cheese. Its pretty good! If I don't feel like cooking I have one shake and one string cheese. Maybe a fruit. Lunch is a spinach tortilla wrap..spread on light cream cheese layer turkey meat, spinach, olives, pickles, and onion...its sooooo good. I try to make lunch my heaviest meal. Dinner I have really been enjoying pitas. Take chicken and pound it flat. Marinade in homemade italian for like 15 min then add a little all purpose greek seasoning. Grill and then fill pita with that some tzaziki and feta or just chicken lettuce a little cheese etc
  13. Hi guys I need to attend one support group in person to be scheduled for surgery. I need to find one semi near manteca ca. Everyone I find just passed last week and I missed it!
  14. Went to my psych eval and it went great! I'm also down 2.5lbs from this monday!!! Which means only 1.5lbs until I'm on wait list then 5 more for surgery!!
  15. Hahahahahahaha it's so weird!
  16. Ever since I have been moving through the motions I keep having dreams about ordering fat food! Then last night I dreamt I was in a waiting room with two other ladies. We were I'm hospital gowns and we all just had surgery. We all looked at each other and said omg what did we do?! They cut out our stomach! Oh boy I need to get it together hahahahahahaha
  17. Up at 430 am right now to get ready to drive to Fremont in rush hour traffic for psych eval!
  18. Thank you!!! I'm so excited I'm a maid of honor in a wedding July 12 so I can do it after that! Can not wait
  19. Just got back from Fremont Kaiser. Saw surgeon, nutritionist, and coordinator. Surgeon approved me!!! So just need to loose 4lbs to go on wait list then 5 more to schedule actual date!!!!
  20. Why would you want to jeopardize anything? Weight loss aside you could get arak and damage your stomach
  21. Thank you!!! I will order the sample pack
  22. What is everyone's favorite flavor??? I have the premier chocolate and vanilla protein drinks now I'm looking to buy one of the juice like flavors.
  23. Today at kaiser the chief of bariatric surgery said that within 5 years they have over a 50% of patients come back to get the band removed.
  24. So just got home from my 2.5 hr orientation and 2 hr drive I'm beat. But kaiser seems to be very anti lap band so I'm moving in over to the sleeve.
  25. I can't believe how fast it's gone so far!
