Wow, I guess every Kaiser is different. I just graduated January 28th and I started in October. We did 12 classes so 3 months. Then psych eval, etc. they didn't require any sort of weight loss but they did recommend you try to lose 10% of your weight. I only lost 10 when I met with my surgeon but he still approved & said to try to drop a bit more (which I have) but that he would cancel my surgery if I gained. I took classes in Fontana.

This is pre-op? Man, I guess I'm lucky that Kaiser only makes us do liquids the day before surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery date is May 5. Been insulin dependent for over 5 years. So glad to be dropping my dosage slowly but surely as I drop my calories & a bit of weight. Just curious for those diabetics who were insulin dependent before bypass, did you completely stop right after surgery? My surgeon doesn't know much about this, but he believes that the dose the day before surgery (all liquids) is 1/3 of what I normally take. Just curious how it worked for you after surgery. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. That's what I thought. That site is hosted by a company that sells bariatric products & the admins want to push their products. I know my tastes will change after but for now I like them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's so strange. But I guess everyone is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was curious if any of you post op people have had problems drinking this particular shake. A FB group I just joined was saying it was the wrong type of Protein & suggested it can cause dumping. Yet Kaiser's bariatric pgm highly recommends it. Just curious if this is just a certain group bashing other drinks in order to sell their's or if it's truly not the best option. Thanks.

I'm pre op but met someone 13 days post op who said herbal peppermint tea is very helpful for gas. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
