embracing skinniness

Hi lildawtee, thanks for the info very helpful and yes it is good to hear good and bad from different people. What support groups are you talking about, I'd like to go as well? I have checked youtube and there is a lot of helpful videos on there. My class is fun we all have a good time and my teacher is fun as well! We definitely need to all stay in touch in my class and make a Facebook, Im going to see if they all would like to do it, good idea! Thanks again for the info it is much appreciated!

Hello, I am about half way done now! Im looking forward to it everyday! Im excited for you thats great its coming up so soon. good luck to you and do the before and after pix it keeps us motivated

I am knew to this and I have Kaiser San Diego and was wondering if anyone was around San Diego and can refer me to some support groups around this area. I'm still in my classes at Kaiser so my surgery should be around February 2015.

Oh thats not bad at all, some people are like 2 weeks before ugh talk about starving! Okay keep me updated with anymore appointments. Do you go to Over Eaters Anonymous or food Addicts Anonymous meetings ever around S.D.

AAAAAWWWWWWW YAAAAA!!! Im so excited for you, you have to make sure and let me know how it goes and all the goods and bad's! I can't wait! The class was good, the teacher is funny and entertaining so I think it will be okay. It went by super fast and was interesting, so many questions were answered in 1 session so Im excited to see what the rest will be. Im so happy for you! Do you have to do the pre surgery liquid diet?

OMG irritating, stay on them girl and call again today the squeaky wheel gets the oil! Keep me informed!

I totally feel for you that would be so frustrating and I agree with you to. Maybe he signed off though because he thinks you are fine and the timing has been long enough. Did they call you back yet?

Ugh that would not make me happy if they did that because it would get my hopes up and then if they made a mistake then Id probably cry! Maybe he did say okay because its been long enough and hasn't seen any changes for worse! Let me know what they say hopefully its good news!!

I am super excited!! I hope the BMI isn't going to effect anything Im are it won't but I will ask them when I start tomorrow to make sure. I just want to start and keep going, Im tired of being fat and my Triglycerides are extremely high so now Im worried about it constantly. How many more weeks do you have to see the doctor before you can schedule surgery?

Okay I was just wondering because I am 5'2" and weight 240, if I lose 10% thats 23 pounds (ugh) then I will weight 216 and my BMI would be under 40 so I don't want to go through all of that and then they deny me because my BMI is not high enough if that makes sense. If I lose 5% its 12 lbs and I can do that so I was just wondering.

Questions? did you lose weight during the options program and if you didn't or only lost a small amount, did the doctor tell you that you had to lose more before surgery?

Okay good hopefully it's not to bad! I will let you know how it goes the first day it's Thursday so I'll keep you informed!

Awww sorry to hear about you dog, I have a Pug named Bella and she is my baby she is more spoiled that the kids! She was bit by a snake last year when we were at my parents and pulled through it was amazing that she did! Im sure everything will be okay ! Barbara said my teacher will be Lee, I think its a male

I forgot to ask you if you are feeling better today?

I just got the call for the Options classes woohoo! Im starting on June 26th at 7:00pm! Im super excited
