Bummed At People's Reactions

The funny thing you can tell friends is that in my case i started at 365, the through diet got down to 215 only to shoot up to 325 then down to 190 then up to 325 then down to 220 then up to 300 before i said enough is enough. While a few friends wished i didnt need the surgery they understood from seeing me yoyo that it is hard to control. I actually dont care how much i loose i just am hoping the sleeve will help me to get back on track quicker when i fall off the wagon so to speak. That plus never wanting to go through this again is a big motivator. Tell your friends to go on a liquid diet for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks they will understand what it feels like to desire certain foods

Justsleeveit....the Kaiser program is really great, you are lucky as you will have a wealth of information, group support, behavioral support, nutritional support...and you will be on a supervised diet with weekly weigh ins to help you get in the groove. I am so grateful I participated in the program! I had surgery 4/6/12 and am feeling so strong and much healthier!!
