You should call them and talk to the program director and see what's going on you should've got an appointment by now for the surgeon

Ah Bakersfield, nice!

While part of me doesn't want to wait the three months to take the OPTIONS class I'm sure it provides some great educational information and really prepares us for our surgery and after. I'm working on my 10% presurgery loss now and so far so good.

Nice prizes you got!!

Congrats to you. I'm in northern CA/East Bay area and the requirements are much different. We don't have option classes to attend. There's a 2hr intro class and 4 1/2 hrs orientation. Once we meet with the surgeon, he or she will set your goal, which is 5%, the next appointment is made before leaving the office for psy eval. It seems that the process is much quicker. Every place is different. I wish you the best on your lifestyle journey.

Just a little advice from a Kaiser post-op: Don't wait around for them to call you! Call them! They drop the ball all the time. And when you are scheduling your surgery date with the Dr ask to be put on the cancellation list. You will definitely get bumped up much faster this way! Good luck everyone!

      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.
