When will I no longer regret my decision to have this. I had RNY on 05/20 and if I could, I would have not done it. This sucks.

Thank you Imagine1, I needed that.

I'm miserable. I miss eating meals with my family, I'm tired of drinking broth and eating popsicles, I can't drink as much water as I need, I'm constantly exhausted from a calorie deficit.

May 20th here!

Sophie, is the fatigue from the extreme calorie deficit or from the physical surgery? I've been having the same question on time off, I'm glad this was asked

Hi everyone, My question today is on compression garments that I have seen people reference. (Where I am at is that I have completed 24 wks of classes, and have appt with surgeon, psych, internist on 05/06) Are compression garments similar to spanx? Are they recommended during weight loss for the aesthetic appearance of no loose skin? I would like to get something to keep my stomach area in, but am not having tons of luck sifting through the information on the internet.

Hi Soexcited! Oh man, the weeks are going fast now. My first week of tracking has been haphazard and on paper. I'm very disappointed and ashamed of myself. I'm having trouble getting the motivation I need. How was your week? Ready for class tomorrow night!

Soexcited, did you say you go to the options class tonight at 7pm in clairmont? Me too, it's class 2 tonight, right?!

I'm in Southern California and have Kaiser. I'm going to start the 24 week Options classes. I had a couple questions, does anyone know if WW and Nutrisystem count as the supervised diet plans previously tried? Also, I've read that during the classes you need to lose 10% of your weight to be able to get approved for the surgery. Is that correct? It seems like if I can lose 30 pounds in 24 weeks, they'd just tell me to keep doing whatever I was because its working. Any thoughts and/or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks all! Nik

Awesome, sent a request to join!

Hi PinkPolkadot, I'm in SD and just starting the process with Kaiser. Can you tell me if it is difficult or offer any advise? Thanks

I am as well

Hi Maria, Thanks so much for replying and the info, I appreciate it
