I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning at Kaiser west LA. Excited but a little nervous. I haven't found too many peeps on here going through Kaiser. I want to start a discussion board but not sure how to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello folks, I had my sleeve done at KAISER Harbor City on Jan 9th. I've lost 20 lbs so far. I can't believe it!
I'm onto the puréed stage but I'm really sick of them already. I'm also finding that my sleeve does not like a lot of foods in this stage. I take a few cautious bites and start to feel nauseated. But when I switch back to liquids I'm fine.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm in baldwin park,ca sgv I have been attending my options classes at the baldwin park location. I don't finish my classes until Feb 10th. I'm hoping it won't take too long to get scheduled for surgery when I'm done. I'll be referred to either kaiser west la or kaiser south bay not sure yet.

I am also with Kaiser. Met with Dr. Zane for the 1st time last week. He put me on the schedule for March and asked me to lose 30 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm terrified. They didn't give me a diet to follow and I have no idea what to do. I've researched pre op diets and have cut down everything. I'll probably just stop eating entirely the last week to try to lose as much as possible. I am a little freaked out that they are so unhelpful and require such extraordinary measures. I definitely didn't expect to have surgery so quickly!

Hi Phoinixe
Have you already finished your option classes, I am just getting ready to start mine next week from what I understood is when you have Kaiser and you take these classes they teach you everything that you need to do and eat I would think your doctor would've given you a diet to follow.

Also if you took the option classes did they tell you that you need to lose 10% body mass when I went to orientation last week they stated everybody needed to lose 10% during the 12 weeks that we have class.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
