OK I remember u r about a week out. I am not a medical professional and honestly I would not normally say go against your NUT but before you tried food this early, I would at least try Protein Shake instead - unless there is so me medical reason that your Dr doesn't allow it. The Protein shake would certainly be a much safer choice than food. And it will help with the hunger. Just take it slow. Make it a good choice (high protein / low sugar).

. Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason . Ima look soon

I talked to her today she told me not to worry about yet again I just can't understand

I want some refried Beans or chili but I'm on stage 2 so that's out I didn't want nothing to drastic lol. But wanted to taste regular tasting food that's filling that's all ugh I'm whining now lol

What happens if I eat to soon I still have 8 days but I'm soooo hungry. I can't stand it uggghh

Lachlove .. Wow I have had a hard couple of days myself and this hit home. I think I actually am hungry. I went through the whole "head hunger" thing in the beginning but now I just feel like we weren't made to be without food entirely and if I never see another Protein shake again it will be too soon. You. Are. Not. Alone.

. Thank you .. It's so hard the Soup made my stomach so uncomfy just now I'm just having a Popsicle and feeling so down. I agree we aren't meant to go without. It's unnatural ... But I only have a few days well 8 ugh. But I just keep reminding myself I have too do it

I will do that, I might just need an outlet

Thank you , your right ugh but it's hard ... I will just keep counting down lol

I'm Richmond kaiser too. Had mine on August 12

Yay! I'm glad to hear the Dr. Im was great.

The psych guy... I'm sure will be ok. I'm a therapist (have a MA and working on my PsyD) and I'm pretty sure I know what he is looking for to "pass" me. He just rubbed me the wrong way. I'll be glad to get it over with and get surgery scheduled!!!

. Yea it should go pretty fast after that. It was orientation meet with surgeon psych eval case manager Liz lol and she gives you your date my psych eval was the longest wait because he is part time so he was booked ..

My husband took off for a few days

I'm a stay at home mom. It's been relatively easy but everyone is different I still take care of everything.

The psych guy wasn't at ours but he was really cool one on one. We were laughing. But be careful don't let him get you comfortable .. Remember you are at a eval the questionnaire is long but repetitive ..you should pass I got my surgery dat 3 days later.

That way my surgeon as well. He was great. Very supportive answers any and all questions .. Great surgeon.

it seems like the 12 week options class is a Kaiser SoCal thing. I'm starting at Kaiser Richmond, as well. We just have the orientation/nutrition class, meeting with surgeon, meeting with psych and then the meeting with the case manager to schedule surgery once you lose the weight. I had the class 1 week after referral, meeting with surgeon the following week and then a 5 week wait for the psych.. I go 9/8.

. Right they always recommend you go to the class buts not an requirement. Which makes its faster

im reppin' the bay here, too. Going through Kaiser richmond and waiting for my psych appointment (9/8), 10 lbs away from surgery goal weight. Interested in hearing Kaiser Richmond experiences...

. Heeyyyy girl. That's great which surgeon do you have?? My experience was fast after my psych eval ..

@@lachellove Do you have glue over your incisions?

. Yes I do, I touch them and am amazed at how far medical technology has advanced. No pain though or drainage

@@lachellove Do you have glue over your incisions?[/quote. Yes I do I touch them and it still feels weird. No pain or drainage though.

hey! my name is paula, im having surgery on Wed Aug 26....2 weeks after you. please tell me how have you been doing?

I've been great .. I walk a lot. And try to get in my fluids. I'm on full liquids for 8 more days. Lol until my 2 week post op appointment . My incisions are healing okay. Minimal pain. At first there was pain when I would move. But now they are way better. Hunger lol that's another's sometimes I'm okay sometimes I'm not. Head hunger not physical hunger. I hope this helps

Oh my goodness I woke up this morning feeling so discouraged and tired that I took the morning off from work to just have some "me" time. I poured a cup of coffee and signed on to Bariatricpal and I found this thread! God is good! I really needed this today. Thank you for starting it. Looking forward to following and getting to know you guys

. No problem .. I've had those days in fact I'm walking now too gain clarity .. God is so awesome .. I know he is going to work things out in all our favor.

New thread lets get active. We all need spiritual support. I know I do ...let's come together.

Hello Ladies how are we? Are we recovering ? What phase are we one? Any complications ? Buyers remorse ? Are we walking? Any testimonies ?

I will be going through kaiser in Sacramento

. Oh okay , I'm not really sure about their policies .. But mine went pretty fast. I got my referral on June 3 had orientation June 11- was sleeved on August 12 because I had to wait a month for my pysh eval because he only work 3 days a week there so it might have been sooner

that's not bad at all compared to what I thought it was going to take. I've read a few different posts that said Kaiser requires a 12 week nutritional class and you have to lose 10% of your current weight before you can have the surgery. Congrats on your journey!

yea every kaiser is different our classes weren't mandatory just strongly encouraged. You do have too lose weight pre op. But long as your losing and not gaining you should be fine .. Just follow the diet they give you ..

Thank you btw.
