Nov 21, Kaiser Ssf

[Cholula 8]

I'm scheduled and ready to go, but can't seem to get back on track. I started at 255.1 now 199.7 (just barely in Onderland) and I seem to want to graze. All day. This hasn't been a problem till I got my surgery date.

I'm holding on by eating tons of yogurt, but still, I know I'm eating too much. Is it nerves? I wonder. I'm just trying to stay under 200 for my surgery.

I wish it was tomorrow!

Which Kaiser are you going through? I'm going through the Richmond Kaiser. Congrats to you for losing as much as you have just in the preop stage. I only had to lose 10 pounds but now the key is keeping as much off as possible before I can get my surgery scheduled. How quickly after your pshychology eval did you get to see a case manager and schedule your day? I'm trying to figure out how far out I am looking considering the holidays are coming and I have to have enough sick leave at work. Thanks.

I'm with Kaiser in South San Francisco. They didn't require that I lose that much weight, I just figured it was better to get a head start on the whole thing. My very first orientation was on June 13, 2012. After going to all the classes and such, it went pretty quick. I had an appointment with the psychologist and one surgeon on Aug 17 and could have booked then but I just wasn't crazy about the surgeon, so I asked for another one. I had that appointment on Oct 16 and his first opening was November 21, so that's when I'll be sleeved!
