    Good morning! Well, here I am day one of this preop diet. Did you guys have to kind of "tweak" this as well? I really don't want any carbs, and I also don't eat eggs / drink milk. I am trying hard to follow it tho. This morning I have 3/4 cottage cheese, 1 small apple, 1 slice of turkey bacon, and water. Is that ok?? I can't wait to see Dr. Fisher today and see what he tells me!! :thumbup: I am leaving here @ 2.

    Hi Riley Hey you were the same weight as me!! Dr. Fisher was our speaker today! It shocked me that I got him, and I am wondering if everyone in my class did?? Do you usually see the surgeon so quick after the orientation? What happens after tomorrow I just go on my merry way dieting and checking my weight in once in a while?

    HI EVERYONE!!!!! I am finally at work after orientation. Wow. so much information! I liked Liz a lot, but I didn't like Robin very much; she rubbed me wrong. I weighed in @ 285! eeeek!! They had me keep my shoes on too. So many people had coffee, etc. and they didn't mention or make them feel bad; wish I woulda got mine!! I have my Surgeon appointment TOMORROW already!! I guess that's where they tell me how much weight to loose, etc? I have Dr. Fisher!

    OMG ok I am just bringing water LOL!! I don't want to be made an example, I am too shy!!! Do you have to say your name or anything like they made me do at the info class? I was so red. I am horrible with public speaking. I am soooo excited, I am scared how much weight I will need to loose. I seriously have gained 10 lbs these weeks I have been doing my good bye to food. I am worried I won't loose the weight like they want me too!

    Good Morning Ladies!! I am SO EXCITED for orientation tomorrow! They told me to arrive @ 7:15, and the class last until 12 pm. Did everyone elses? I asked why so long and they said they rolled the meeting with a nutritionist, the surgeon, and something else all into one now. Is that new? Hope everyone is doing well! See ya!

    Hey you!! Just updating you. I have my "Orientation" next week where I fill out paperwork and get the weight I need to loose before they will do the surgery amount. I am so excited, yet afraid....I wish I lived closer to work out with you!! Move to Northern CA LOL

    Just stopping by to say hello - I have orientation in exactly 1 week woo-hooo!! and I did verify that I WILL be weighed in, after someone told me I wasn't. I don't know about you guys before your orientation but I have been eating so bad, almost like a good bye LOL!!

    Hi everyone, just kinda scanning the pages....when you have lapband do you have to loose LESS weight pre surgery then RNY people?
  20. tamra.
    I am so excited!! Kim @ Richmond Kaiser called me, my orientation is July 28th @ 7:30 am! woo-hoo that was so fast!! She told me I WONT be weighed in that day, it's when I meet the surgeon the next appointment, yet they want me to diet starting the day after orientation?? Thats confusing because if they wont use that loss towards the amount they want me to loose, doesn't it hurt me? or DO they count that? Tamra

    asked my dr why the fremont referral, and her response: From: SANDRA SEIER MD Received: 7/15/09 6:08 PM Fremont is now the facility recommended for patients in this service area. Doesnt this seem weird??? I havent heard anything about this...
  25. tamra.
    hmmm...if Fremont's happen on weekends it would almost work better for me so I don't miss work...maybe I will see if that's why my dr sent it there
