Yes that's what I say too!!! .. my tripz are 10 now .. still carrying it .. time to let it go lol .. I'm hoping to get a date for June ..

Wish u well .. I kno it has to be hard .. i'm in the beginning stages right now I wanted to comment because I noticed your name twin mommy.. i'm a triplet mommy Hail to the multiple moms !!

Thank you for your input I think this decision is just a matter of yes where your at & how much we want to lose .. I just suggested sleeve to my Dr cos of not changing intestines but By pass has more weight loss w good data. He says I can be approved for either one it's a matter of choice . So far we decided on sleeve but yes I'm thinking of changing to By pass .. just looking to be very heathy too & get a low BMI as well. I was active w exercise & Lower BMI over 10 years ...& I am still somewhat active. gained over 100lbs having triplets & have had a hard time losing it all the weight . It seems I lose some but keep regaining it back . I need a way to stay accountable. Good luck on your journey sounds like you have a good plan in place .

BTW My sister had RNY back in 04 before sleeve was popular she did fine w it & lost over 100lbs & kept it off . I like the accountability it does have w dumping but it's so scary & painful..

I'm also I just thinking about comparing complications & Long Jevity with two different surgeries that's my biggest thought. .. which is better ?

Thanks for sharing.. wow 3 days 11lbs is fast .. congrats! I do like that this surgery is golden standard and is proven successful with all the data in place. I read that you lose for two years with RNY versus 1 year w sleeve .. what was your starting BMI ?

I'm just starting out in kaiser .. I had my orientation today & met with the surgeon & nutritionist . My doctor says I'll be fine with either sleeve or bypass surgery.. BMI is 40 & was surprise he says I'll be fine with either one ... no Gurd issues no diabetes.. however I do have severe apnea and hypothyroid high blood pressure high cholesterol ... I was leaning towards sleeve until I talk with my dr today now I can't decide. I know they both have good success rates.. pros and cons.. ? i've been reading it over and over again on line ... any input would be really helpful or good success stories

I just had a consult w my surgeon today .. he says either is fine for me .. cos no gerd issues or diabetes .. but diabetes runs in big in my family history.. also my BMI is 40 which I was surprised he suggested bypass as an option as well ..i heard it can be more risky ..& sleeve less invasive ... which I know surgery is surgery they are all invasive .. I'm only rethinking my decision to bypass versus sleeve because the long-term success.. Can anyone share there thoughts on this ?

Costco multi vitamin is what Kaiser recommended... they said less expensive over there Kaiser brand .

I bought the light I think ... lol probably taste bad ... it's what they had at Costco.

I do powder protein as well & been adding Chia seeds & flax seed .. for more protein & fiber .. makes it more filing & thicker .

I've been using premier protein drinks ... taste good cuz my kids have been trying to drink them lol .. they actually liked it .. today I bought muscle milk .. went to Costco .. I hope they are good .. cos this is a big box lol ..

Luv egg muffins for breakfast .. can also make crust free quiche Use sweet potatoes or cauliflower on bottom .. for crust .. add cheese/ goat cheese , Parmesan ,chicken & or spinach or broccoli & cherry tomatoes ...

Lol Yes Japanese do .. when in Japan My grandmother made it for me .. the breakfast is similar to lunch & dinner only lighter.. grilled Saba / mackerel/ salmon / hamachi

I'm defiantly getting a MMO/ mommy make over

Really wow [emoji15] my appt is 3pm Then maybe I won't be there that long lol .. if I get done early then I'll try to go to next Friday meeting on 28th ..

Yes I would luv to stay for it & meet u too .. also meeting people that are going thru it & support is great!! It's just that I'll be there for my appointment so long... I was just saying if I'm feeling up to staying & my sitter will watch my kids longer I will ... I'll message you after I'm done w my appointment ok .

I do hope I get to meet you there .. you've been so helpful to me. I'm thinking about staying for the group if I'm not all talked out & tired by then & providing my babysitter will stay later as well.

Yes glad they are getting it together... I know this program is very busy & high volume.. that's what Zorah said this morning. I'll be there on 14th .. might see u there .

Thanks Bekah Well said !! seems very doable they way you spell it out ! Will you be goin to the support group on April 14th ?

Hey I have an appointment April 14th W Dr Hahn .. too

I have not & I'm just starting the process .. I've been talking w people who are also in same process w kaiser ...this nice guy in Fremont office gave me the whole low down on how it works there . I'm going to orientation tomorrow morning & have been tryin to work on losing at least 5% weight .. I'll see how it goes .. I want to choose dr Hann or Dutta .. I hear good things about them .

Usually 10% in some cases sometimes 5% Which dr did you choose ?

Yes going to Fremont ca They don't require 12 classes Only orientation then meet the doc... Doc sets a pre op goal weight then psychological evaluation. Have you met w the doctor yet ??
