Prayed and will continue to pray.

We all most definitely will. Praying now.

I read my plan today to and went for a walk. A great distraction .. But the rumbles are loud lol ..

. Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason . Ima look soon The Premier Protein ready made shakes are 160 calories with 30g of protein and only 1g of carb (I think - it might be 4g) and is 11 oz. They are very good - or at the very least tolerable. So, does your NUT work at your dr's office? If not, I think I would call the surgeon's office and ask for the nurse. When do you go back for your first follow up? yea she works at the surgeons office Ima just call my primary NUT. Tomorrow .. . Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason .

I talked to her today she told me not to worry about yet again I just can't understand

I want some refried beans or chili but I'm on stage 2 so that's out I didn't want nothing to drastic lol. But wanted to taste regular tasting food that's filling that's all ugh I'm whining now lol

Lachlove .. Wow I have had a hard couple of days myself and this hit home. I think I actually am hungry. I went through the whole "head hunger" thing in the beginning but now I just feel like we weren't made to be without food entirely and if I never see another Protein shake again it will be too soon. You. Are. Not. Alone.. Thank you .. It's so hard the Soup made my stomach so uncomfy just now I'm just having a Popsicle and feeling so down. I agree we aren't meant to go without. It's unnatural ... But I only have a few days well 8 ugh. But I just keep reminding myself I have too do it

I will do that, I might just need an outlet

Thank you , your right ugh but it's hard ... I will just keep counting down lol

I'm Richmond kaiser too. Had mine on August 12

. Yea it should go pretty fast after that. It was orientation meet with surgeon psych eval case manager Liz lol and she gives you your date my psych eval was the longest wait because he is part time so he was booked ..

My husband took off for a few days

I'm a stay at home mom. It's been relatively easy but everyone is different I still take care of everything.

The psych guy wasn't at ours but he was really cool one on one. We were laughing. But be careful don't let him get you comfortable .. Remember you are at a eval the questionnaire is long but repetitive ..you should pass I got my surgery dat 3 days later.

That way my surgeon as well. He was great. Very supportive answers any and all questions .. Great surgeon.

. Right they always recommend you go to the class buts not an requirement. Which makes its faster

. Heeyyyy girl. That's great which surgeon do you have?? My experience was fast after my psych eval ..

. Yes I do, I touch them and am amazed at how far medical technology has advanced. No pain though or drainage

Hello , I've been actively commenting on a few forums and just wanted to get my fears out there. Surgery isn't that far. And as time passes in getting more and more anxious.. I know my surgeon is great. But I'm still nervous my first time having surgery . The sick part doesn't bother me I've been sick before 2 where I couldn't eat. And couldn't keep anything down. That part is expected. It's the what if that scare me .. I pray I will be complication free.. Any surgery twins ???? Sorry so long ????????????????????

I've been great .. I walk a lot. And try to get in my fluids. I'm on full liquids for 8 more days. Lol until my 2 week post op appointment . My incisions are healing okay. Minimal pain. At first there was pain when I would move. But now they are way better. Hunger lol that's another's sometimes I'm okay sometimes I'm not. Head hunger not physical hunger. I hope this helps

. No problem .. I've had those days in fact I'm walking now too gain clarity .. God is so awesome .. I know he is going to work things out in all our favor.

Hello Ladies how are we? Are we recovering ? What phase are we one? Any complications ? Buyers remorse ? Are we walking? Any testimonies ?

. Oh okay , I'm not really sure about their policies .. But mine went pretty fast. I got my referral on June 3 had orientation June 11- was sleeved on August 12 because I had to wait a month for my pysh eval because he only work 3 days a week there so it might have been sooner that's not bad at all compared to what I thought it was going to take. I've read a few different posts that said Kaiser requires a 12 week nutritional class and you have to lose 10% of your current weight before you can have the surgery. Congrats on your journey! yea every kaiser is different our classes weren't mandatory just strongly encouraged. You do have too lose weight pre op. But long as your losing and not gaining you should be fine .. Just follow the diet they give you .. Thank you btw.
