Yep, I am now called every insulting way you can say skinny possible.....why people think it's okay to comment on weight is beyond me!! I mean they would never say, "damn you got fat! Don't gain anymore or you will look ugly..... Oh people...

I had one last night!! they are very good!! I am sooo excited :-)

I am only on chapter 2 but good so far.

any time. Feel free to email me.

I took mine in Kerny Mesa at Positive Choice. But I have gone up to SM to speak twice.

I am also the founder of the Pacific Bariatric FB support group page (that is the medical group that Kaiser outsources to)

It is not. Once you choose your class, it is 6 months once a week and if you are more than I think 10 minutes late you have to make up the class, also if you have more than 2 or 3 absences you have to start over. They want to see you are committed. I know there is a morning class not sure of the time, 4pm, and 7pm. Mine was Thursdays 4pm.

Yeah I was super worried about it, and stressed myself out for a month.....all for nothing. I will tell you I was not happy about the classes, and had an attitude. But they are more valuable than you will ever know!! they were an honest gift, I am so much more knowledgeable about my body and the process because of it and am so thankful for them. Yes it is a huge commitment, but I believe it is why I have been so successful.

Hi, I am 17 months post op, San Diego Kaiser. I am also the founder and admin of the San Diego Kaiser support group page, and often speak in the options classes. Yes Kaiser does require the 6 months of options classes, during the classes they ask that you try and loose %10 of your body weight. The paperwork said they needed documentation of supervised weight loss program, but I was never asked to show prof. Please feel free to ask me any questions and join the FB group. my email is, pinkpolkadot619_rny_kendra@yahoo.com

do you feel getting a trainer helped?

Yes I want to be back on track and feel in control again. I know my body wants to workout I want to get my mind to agree.

It's pretty good. I have only 1 servings not the whole container. My favorite is Artic Zero. both brands need to me microwaved for 20-30 seconds to soften up but very yummy, and are a good alterative to full blown sugar and fat of ice cream.

I am the founder of the San Diego Kaiser and San Diego Pacific Bariatric Facebook pages. I am going to do a get together again soon. I would love for you all to join us!

I am 16 months out, so a lot has happened since surgery lol but I am wonderful! It is a forever change and battle. I have maintained my weight but I do juggle about 5 lbs so I am aware still and try to keep on track as best I can. I know it is easy to slip back in to old habits. right now I am fighting my late night snacking again.

I am

@@LisaCO I'm feeling the same way. I went on liquids for a little while and lost a few lbs, but they came right back. I am now up like 8 pounds and it won't stop. I am trying to not freak out. I know my eating is not perfect but it is also not horrible. I am not working out like I was, so I guess that is why the pounds are coming back. It is so hard to get re motivated to get going. I have perfect weather too, it just needs to be my decision to get out and go. Thank you all for sharing your struggles, knowing I am not alone helps me a lot. I know we all can do this, this can and will be a life long healthy life.

may I ask what shakes and bars you used? I use premier Protein shakes and Quest bars the most. so that would be 132g of protein and 860 with out a meal, does that sound about right?

Yes I did.

I am also in San Diego. I would love to meet up with you guys! I go to the Pacific Bariatric support group where I had my surgery.

www.KaysNaturals.com 120 calories 12g Protein crunchy- sweet, savory, lots of choices

I know there are prenatal bariatric Vitamins (at least I have seen them on the Bariatric Advantage website)

I am 15ish months out and have felt like this already. But I know my new normal I want to be a healthy one. So I do look to you further out Vets to know that life can be normal, well a new healthy normal. that it is okay I ate some chips. And that it is okay that I have found a balance and a healthy relationship with carbs. Your normal lives inspire me and help me to know that it is okay to feel normal again. Thank you ALL!!!

I am 14 months out and I am one of those people who have to eat 1,000-1,200 to maintain if I go over I will gain. I am currently trying to loose 5 lbs that I gained over the holidays and I honestly still was keeping below 1,800. It is also very true about the quality of your food. I have been hit in the face with reality that I must keep the carbs down and the quality Protein and veggies up up up!

chicken is the most difficult to digest don't give up on it yet. Maybe later I am beyond picky (I only eat turkey chicken and fish) but in the beginning I made tofu with taco seasoning to taste like chicken. That helped me.
