I am going to my 4th Options class tomorrow evening in Fontana. The classes have been interesting so far. I just can't seem to diet yet.

I'm trying to prepare myself for the diet now before the official start next week. Meal times and portion.

I'm on week 2 of Options @ Fontana and still haven't started a "diet"! I've been off and on diets the last 15 years so I don't know why it's so hard this time around! :(

This week will be my 10th class Options/Fontana. Still not sure if surgery will be approved. I was told 1. BMI is too low 37

2. I need to 3yrs cancer free (I'm 2yrs out

I'm still continuing classes as I hope I will be approved in 2weeks.

I wish you the best of luck. Was your Bmi 40 before you started? I was worried about that because my bmi was low so naturally I went under because we have to lose weight. I was told I would still be approved as long as my staying bmi met the criteria. CONGRATULATIONS on 2 years cancer free!!!!! I hope everything goes in your favor

My BMI was below 40 when I started so I was excited when I was approved for options program, guess I'm nervous cause in close to finishing courses & still don't know. What is staying BMI?

      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.
