Hello Everyone ,
In April of this year I went to my first Kaiser Bariatric class where I weighed....299.9, I am 5'7 medium build. I wanted to cry infront of everyone, I hadn't weighed myself in quit a while. Needless to say I have been taking what they teach and utilizing it since and my last weight was....268.7 = the 10% they requested me to lose pre-op.
This is where the fear sets in, I have been on a 1200 calorie diet for 3 weeks and I hear that 1 year post-op your suppose to be at 600-800 calories. Really..how does this happen? The second concern is that I am a complete Vegan and I don't know of one person that has been Vegan that has gone through the surgery. Does anyone else?
I have a million dietary questions which the dieticians seem not able to answer very well for me. This creates a lot of fear and anxiety. I'm just really scared and feel so alone in this journey.
