Thanks . I did the one support, one nutrition class and 2 psych appts. They are working on getting support classes at Kaiser Roseville. Is the mindful eating the 12 week class?

Yes, it's the 12 week class, but they made it so you can come in at any time.

When did you start the process for WLS?

My insurance company saids my proposed date is June 16th! Yay!

Insurance companies have to have a date of service to process your file. When I called the insurance company to check on the status of my case they told me that proposed date was May 6th. When I was approved my surgery was scheduled for June 25th.

I started on March 26th, it would have been sooner, but I was waiting to get on a health insurance plan. Sarah and Tracy and Dr.Kang at south Sac bariatric all said I'm way ahead of most people I started with. I could have the surgery sooner, like in the next couple weeks, but I said I needed more time to prepare my house and job.

Same here. I think I went to the march 25 orientation. I wanted to do the May 22 Surgery but didn't work with my husbands schedule. So May 29th it is. Crazy how fast it's gone.

Do you go to the support groups? I find them very helpful. I will definitely keep going.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
