Tonight actually, at the main office. I wish the schedule was easier, evenings are awkward for me, Id rather have a 10am class!

I have been a guest speaker there also, this will be my first time to San Marcos. One of the pre-op gals from my FB group asked me to come up we will see how bad the drive is LOL Ali asked me to speak in both her classes that night so it will be a long day. At the main office I have spoke in Kay's classes and Sherri's classes.

I had Sherri as my instructor and mine were at night, I work all day so it was my only option. I had to wake up at 430am once a week to get to work early so I would be to my 430 class on time. It has not easy but I would not change anything about my journey. I think it forced me to be committed on a whole new level.

Soexcited, did you say you go to the options class tonight at 7pm in clairmont? Me too, it's class 2 tonight, right?!

[Soexcited 64]

Pink, who did your surgery? I've been with Dr Tanaka for about a year now (I have a band in at the moment) so if I take the band out and bypass he will do my surgery.

Hi Nikki, yes tonight at 7! How have you been this week?

No I was saying that I speak sometimes in the classes. I am 10.5 months out and down 115lbs.

I had Tanaka too! :-) Please feel free both of you to send a request to join the San Diego Kaiser WLS support group, on Face book. I am the admin :-)

[Soexcited 64]

Ok so your a good person to ask....if i send that request to fb who see's me? Im very private and would never want my fb friends to see anything.

[PinkPolkadot619 337]

It is a closed group. no one can see what goes on in the group unless they are in the group.

and you can't get in the group unless I approve you. and if you do not belong or do something worthy of being kicked out, I will kick you out :-D

[Soexcited 64]

I see that you can not see what goes on in that group which is nice but anyone can see who the members are wich is a bummer.

[PinkPolkadot619 337]

yes, but so far I have not had anyone go looking for what groups I am a member of......and truthful at 10+ months out, I don't care anymore. lol

[Soexcited 64]

Hi Nikki how was your week? I cant believe another week has gone by. I started tracking all of my food in my fitness pal app....how did you decide to track?

[Nikki_B 5]

Hi Soexcited! Oh man, the weeks are going fast now. My first week of tracking has been haphazard and on paper. I'm very disappointed and ashamed of myself. I'm having trouble getting the motivation I need. How was your week? Ready for class tomorrow night!

[Soexcited 64]

On paper is fine, dont beat yourself up......you did it! It dosent matter how you do it. My week was worse than my first, last week i lost 3 pounds and this week i had family in town so i messed up with wine .... so many empty calories the on top of that it makes me want to munch! Im ready for tomorrow i suppose, ill drink lots of lemon Water tomorrow and hope i can flush out some of my extra salt. How was your food week? Did you drink a shake every day?

[cmhueto 167]

Hey im here in San Diego area too... can I join the kaiser fb group? Need some pointers and motivation. In drinking my Protein Drink, but still having trouble tolerating much Protein via food. I'm struggling to get out of softs and know my protein intake isn't what it should be. Also, at 500-800 calories a day, I'm only losing avg 2 lbs a week. Any suggestions? Exercise ideas? Btw I'm 12 weeks out, and 42 lbs down. Getting discouraged.

Hi cmhueto where in sd are you? Who did your surgery? To me it sounds like your not getting enough calories in to loose but why dont you call kaiser and ask, im sure there is someone to talk to who would know for sure....to me 42 lbs sounds AWESOME! And i think you just send a request to that fb page and they accept on fb not at all through this site.....be carefull though because fb is not private at all.
