Just looking to start a new thread or meet some NEW people that have had Kaiser sleeve surgery or are going to have sleeve surgery soon. I am Chrissy I live In Sacramento. I was JUST sleeved on June 16, 2010! I was sleeved at Kaiser Richmond by Dr. Im. Looking for new people, Fun, Friends, new issues, recipes, suggestions, or just to talk!

Hello Everyone,

Heather, it's so exciting to see you so close to finally getting your surgery. How wonderful that things are finally working out for you.

I haven't checked in here for awhile. It's great to see this forum being active for Kaiser patients. I forget to bop over here from OH. I'm still working my way towards goal. It's been slow going, but it's going. Hours of exercise definitely helps.

David, are you joining us next week for support group? I hope so!

For anyone interested, the guest speaker at the Kaiser Richmond group on Wednesday March 16th from 6pm - 7:30pm is Dr. Shnurr, the psychologist. The topic is going to be Body Image. It should be interesting.

I hope to see some of you there!

Thanks for the recommendation! I tried it when I was really early out and it was too sweet for me, but I will try again. I have found some of my tastes have changed again so it's worth a shot.

I like vitamin water zero. But all of the flavored waters are way to sweet. I dilute them with water and then they are perfect.

My favorite was Sobe 0 - Fugi Apple Pear flavor. It tastes like diluted apple juice with a hint of pear. Quite yummy and it was so easy to get down. I still have it occasionally for a treat. The crystal lights are all too sweet for me, but I do like their Peach iced tea flavor or the Green Tea. The fruity flavors have been tough for me post-op because of the sweetness. I tend to drink a lot of herbal tea or decaf black teas.

Hi everyone! It has been way to long since I last posted! It's so nice to see many new faces on here.

Heather!!!! So glad to see you will be on the losers bench soon

Lee- Good to see you on here too! Question, how much food can you eat per meal?

I still think I am the only one who has had Kaiser Fremont though lol! I had my surgery May 25th 2010. My starting weight was 250 and as of today I am 149.5 Over the last few months I have been losing slowly, but to be honest I am happy where I am at so it doesn't bother me. I can eat about 1 cup of food per meal too. Also, weirdest thing is that I can never throw up! I have over eaten a few time where I feel like I should throw up, even to the point of trying to force my self to and yet nothing but spit comes up! But at any rate I need to get back into the swing of a support group since the closest one to where I live is 30+ min away !!!

Woohoo! Way to go Ashley! 100 lbs is awesome. We need to celebrate!

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAD SURGERY IN SOUTH SF

I just got a invite to a 6 month check up, but it is not clear. Is this a class or a meeting with my doc? If it is a class, how long does it last? Just trying to plan. Thanks so much!

Hey, Lisa Lisa! Nice to see you on here and congratulations on being such a GREAT LOOOOOSER! Wow, you have been so successful and I'm proud of you. I'm down the big 100 since starting the program in September, 2010 and I'm 61 down since surgery in January. I'm doing lots of walking and lots of gym and still eating tons (OK only 1/2 cup at a time) of ground Turkey. My follow up appointment is not until April 28! Keep up your great work.

David

Its tonight right
