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?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
