Hi All,

I am newto this site. I am also just starting my wieght loss journey. I have my information session at Kaiser on the 8th. Then I start the options classes either end of January or sometime in February depending on the class time. I am excited to finally get in control of my weight. I am hope to have my surgery over the summer so that I don't have to miss school. I am almost done with my BA in Libral Studies.

A little about me: I have been with my husband almost 9 years. We have been married just over 3 years. We have 3 children. 2 boys 8 and 3, and a girl who is 7 months. She is the princess for sure. The boys are in Karate and so we spend a lot of time at their dojo. My kids are my pride and joy. I love spending time with my family and my friends. I am in college (BA in Liberal Studies). I also take care of my grandma. She is 89 and she still works 5 days a week for the library. She no longer drives so I am happy to be her personal driver :) She is still adjust to not having a car but it is safer for everyone.

I am hoping that this surgery will help me lose weight so that I can actually exercise more than 2 days a week. i have back issues that prevent me from dooing a lot of things. My doctor belives this surgery will help.

Thank you.

Jennifer

GingerDiane,

I wasn't able to do any of those things on the app, I had to go through the website. Are you having those problems on the website? If so maybe you should contact their web support.

      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.
