I'm in week 9 of the 12 week program. Started week one at 554 lbs now down to 527. My goal is to be under 500 befor at the 12th week. I was wondering is anyone has had the surgury thru leport in fountain valley. That's where I'm headed and wanted to see what anyone on here had to say. Also was wondering if the was anyone on here that was 500+ lbs and where are they today. The feedback will be appreciated.

Hi; I will sent you both invites to join the SoCal Sleever support group. I would say over 50% of our members are from Kaiser. Lady who gets us together every other month for a support meeting had her surgery done over 2 years ago at Kaiser. She is regularly seen at graduations of options.

Wishing you the best and hope to meet you face to face in November.

Yea I'm in track 67 on wed nights off Chapman and lewis. Two of my friends went through leport and had good experiences. Have you met Dr Nanda? Just was wondering if you were doing his diet because a lot of people in my class are.

I'm track 68! Thursday nights! I have only met Dr Nanda during the orientation. The diet I follow is the one I was provided on paper at the consult with the NP I think she is. And it's Breakfast and lunch are protien shakes. Two high Fiber Snacks and then a small dinner mostly protien. I try and stay under 1200 calories but if I have 1200 that's ok too. So far I have lost 12 pounds... Have you gone to a support group? I haven't yet probably will next month. My names Jenn by the way...

Right now using premier. I did use muscle milk light but it had more sugar and less Protein and I was getting sick of them. I went through a case of vanilla premier. Sick of those so switched to chocolate. But what I did try on my last vanilla premier shake was adding some cinnamon and it helped the taste alot! What powders you trying?? I know I will not be able to tolerate the premier for long... Did u try the Bariatric Advantage?? I got a strawberry sample one from class... It was good... This is week 4 for me... Is this week 10 for you?? Are you decided on surgery and what one?? -jenn

In week 9 everyone brought in and compared Proteins. I am using whey tech 24 by body tech and protizyme they ate both available from Vitamin Shoppe and both taste very good (protizyme has flavors like Peanut Butter cookie, chocolate cake) and as for the nutrition facts they are in the dame parameters as ptemier.(actually they are a little better) I like powder because it taste better and u get bigger quantities and it helps the cost per serving which is important since we are using 2 a day.
