MEET WITH HIM ON THE 21ST OF JUNE HEARING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ABOUT HIM

He is strict thank god I lost 11 pounds when he said 10. BUT if you lose at least 7-8 pounds he will still do it!! best of luck

omg. the last 2lbs wont come off. i hope he be lean on me. i have lost 18lbs since i started with kaiser so that should mean something

found out today my co pay is only 200. so glad about that

well met with zelada and of course he put me on a 2 wk liquid diet. the one for stage 2 thank god. i have to be there at 530 am on the 12th.

Newgrandmother...you can do this. You're gonna have to have plenty of dietary restrictions for awhile but it gets easier. Accept the process and don't fight it. One shake at a time......

aspiring i am trying really hard. today is the first day. i am following the stage two full liquid diet per zelada. do ths liqiud stuff really work?

can someone tell me if he is really that strict he wants me to lose 10lbs or he will cancel the surgery anyone expiernced this with him. also i do a follow up with him will he put me on a special diet 2 wks before?

yes i am on a 2wl liquid diet. lol

YES your surgery will be cancelled. The whole purpose of this 2 week liquid diet is to shrink your liver so the surgeon can get to your stomach. This surgery isn't a quick fix, you'll eventually be able to eat again and if you don't start making smart choices NOW, nothing is going to change later. You can do this, I believe in you!
