I wanted to find out how many have a vitamix blender I'm just wondering if I should get one especially for the puréed and soup stages what is everyone's opinion on this??

Mine was super easy she just asked me a couple questions about binge eating and purging asked about when I started gaining weight when I eat on a daily basis now about exercising I didn't even have to fill out a questionnaire at the end lasted about 25 minutes it was no biggie with Kaiser insurance

I'm having my psych eval today at 2:30 and also my health assessment will be done

I have Kaiser Insurance and I just started last week the Options class I am on week 2 today I already had my labs done and my EKG last week and today I scheduled my appointment for my psych evaluation and my health appraisal I am going to that before my class tonight I feel good about the Psych Evaluation I have no issues really that I know off I am not scared or anything. I think it will go good.

That is Great news I hope you get your insurance soon.

Good job keep it up you can do it :-)

First off can you reschedule it secondly drink lots of water and eat a lot of good foods that will not make you gain weight and maybe take a water pill if you have any I hope you get to have your surgery you should tell your doctor to that's why you're up a little maybe he will take your last weigh-in.

I hope you get approval soon good luck

That is very exciting news I can't wait till I'm in that spot

Hi I am going on my 2nd class this Tuesday we got our checklist for all 12 weeks. Week 1--labs drawn and schedule EKG I ended up going today to get my lab work done and I ended up getting my EKG done I did not hear about the preop meal plan being all liquid I'm not exactly sure if ours will be the same I sure hope not let me know how things are going with your class.

I'm not sure if you're walking or doing any type of exercise but if you walk for about 20 to 30 minutes a day that would help definitely to drop some pounds also make sure you're drinking lots of water that helps flush your system out. good luck I hope you reach that goal weight.

Just get back on track the reason why you're on the liquids is to help you they say if your liver is fatty or has any issues it's like Jell-O and they have to move your liver slightly in order to do the procedure and if your liver comes apart during the procedure they can't fix it. They told us this stuff in our class that I'm taking. So it's only helping you in the long run you don't want to have a longer recovery

Good luck :-)

Yes I love watching all the stuff on YouTube there is so much information. I too am thinking about starting a YouTube Channel once I'm almost done with my classes and I have a surgery date.

I had my KAISER orientation tonight lots and lots of information that I knew a lot about but found out some stuff I didn't know. I now have a date to start my options class which is February 21 it is a 12 week class.. They weighed everyone tonight and they also told us that in The next 12 weeks we should lose 10% of our weight. So tomorrow morning I will start eating healthier and get that extra weight off I am very excited for this journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got my FitBit on Tuesday and I love it it definitely helps with walking and keeping up with your calorie in take and helps you drink your Water it is a great investment. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Also how fast after your last class did you get to meet with the surgeon and then get your date what was the timeframe

Thank you for the information yes it will be interesting to see if they say I have sleep apnea as far as I know I don't but we will see how do they do that test did they just send something home with you and you do it at home or do you have to go to a sleep lab

Congrats that is wonderful can't wait to be in your spot having surgery

Good luck:-)
