I have been working on the process and have only told a handful. I just don't feel it's any ones business nor so I want to deal with any possible negativity. I just don't need the extra drama right now. Good luck to you how ever you decide to deal with it!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I went to Lucille's and had 2 of their amazing biscuits and then had amazing tri tip steak with mashed potatoes! It was amazing and I ate it all!! And that was also the last time I had a diet coke... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I think eventually any shake gets old. What I added to my vanilla premier shake was about Half a teaspoon of cinnamon and it made for a nice chane and I could drink it with out feeling like I gotta chug it down to get past my gag reflex!! So maybe try adding some spices to change up what u have?? And it hardly adds calories!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Right now using premier. I did use muscle milk light but it had more sugar and less protein and I was getting sick of them. I went through a case of vanilla premier. Sick of those so switched to chocolate. But what I did try on my last vanilla premier shake was adding some cinnamon and it helped the taste alot! What powders you trying?? I know I will not be able to tolerate the premier for long... Did u try the Bariatric Advantage?? I got a strawberry sample one from class... It was good... This is week 4 for me... Is this week 10 for you?? Are you decided on surgery and what one?? -jenn Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey thanks for the invite. Where so you guys meet?? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm track 68! Thursday nights! I have only met Dr Nanda during the orientation. The diet I follow is the one I was provided on paper at the consult with the NP I think she is. And it's Breakfast and lunch are protien shakes. Two high Fiber Snacks and then a small dinner mostly protien. I try and stay under 1200 calories but if I have 1200 that's ok too. So far I have lost 12 pounds... Have you gone to a support group? I haven't yet probably will next month. My names Jenn by the way... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm in week 4!! I will be going to dr Leports office. I know 3 people I work with that went through them. All had great experiences. One of the gals is very good at researching and recommends dr Akbar I believe it is.... Hey great weight loss so far!!! Are your classes over on chapman and Lewis??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

My husband did not support me till I had a very lengthy conversation. He is very thin and probably always will damn genetics!! I told him what it meant to me and my biggest point being that if you are 100 pounds over weight you only have a 5% chance of maintains weightless the conventional way. He eventually verbalize that I was right that he can not understand the position that I am in but can understand wanting to better my quality of life and health. He has become very supportive.... Now on the other hand my MIL is also very thin and holistic and will never understand. I'm terrified to tell her. I think the main person you need as support is you husband . Maybe he just needs time... Sorry I got long winded! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Good luck I know you'll do well!! I'm already doing two shakes a week while I'm in kaisers 12 week classes and I'm sooo sick of them!! It's only been 3 weeks I think my the time I get to the actual pre op diet I will want to kill these protien shakes! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm sorry to see your relationship end but I do think it was for the best. If he wasn't willing to match your efforts now it would be the same even living in the same home! And that's worst! What if you guys had kids? And yet again no matched effort... Then you would really be fed up! You deserve some one who wants to go above as beyond to be with you!! Not expect you to go above and beyond to be with him... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have a 12 week class that is required through kaiser and during it I have to loose 30 pounds. So my pre op dieting started already. But week before I buckled down I went and had a breakfast and dinner at two places I knew after I would not be able to enjoy the same... So I see nothing wrong with saying good bye to food in a way... Sent from my iPhone using VST

To both above maybe the just really wanted you happy?? And they knew it would aid in that?? Sent from my iPhone using VST

For me it was sleeve all the way. Haven't had it yet but the dr of the program at kaiser read of tons of statics for the 3 wls and the band has a high rate of removal and a 2d sugery. It has low weight loss in comparison and high regain stats. Sweden is one of the 1 countries to start this procedure and they are now at a 90% removal rate! Also kaiser did more removals last yr then placements of the band. So for me I was like heck no!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Congrats!! I saw you did the options program! You have kaiser?? Where do you live?! I'm in week three of the options... I live in orange county... Sent from my iPhone using VST

It's hardest in the beginning. I'm going on week three of no diet coke! Don't miss it as much as I thought I would at this point. I used to get Nasty head aches. When I quit I started drinking A ton a Water and that seemed to help. Plus I don't eat the greasy or carb filled food I used to that the diet coke would accompany so i dont seem as inclined towards wanting it... I am also still pre op. Looking more like it will be in December or January but want it dealt with now.... Goo luck to everyone!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have read that it stretches the stomach but my dr only expressed major concern about it burning a whole in the stomach. And that went for any soda... I'm a huge diet coke drinker and have now gone two weeks with out it. I'm still pre op but I don't want it to be an issue after so I decided to quit now. I think it's up to you what you do as is any of the changes needed for this to be successful... I just figured I sure as heck don't want a whole in my stomach and of I'm going to o so far as to have surgery to help loose weight then I'm going to take as many steps as I can to prevent regain... And for me soda was part of that... Sent from my iPhone using VST

One more to add. Once I loose a real good amount I'm dying to cut my very long hair into a drastic A-line cut with bangs! Sent from my iPhone using VST
