Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

I'm only updating my ticker with my Kaiser weigh-ins now. I'm too tired of thinking I'm doing better and being up five lbs with Kaiser's scale. I'm tired of feeling false joy over this.

I'm going to try going to Zumba today. Keep your fingers crossed.

Heather I know exactly what you mean. I have been in the slums for a very long time and it is high time that I picked up and got on the ball. Where is your Zumba class? I may go to one at 24hr on Sunrise blvd tomorrow.

Hi Reggie - you beautiful creature you! I have 2 pair of size 14 jeans that are way too long for me - still have the tags on em? You interested? Won't you come Saturday????? I'm down for another get together at your spot - providing my Cat cooperates with me LOL She's such a Beast - now that she's feeling better she attacts me every time I come near he again - Brat!

Heather - you're probably right LOL. The Doc just might do that to you. I've only lost 2lbs since October! Well, I had lost 7 but in the last three days my scale jumped up 4lbs - WTF - must be all those carbs at 3am. I asked for sleeping pills but was DENIED :)

Hi Ladies!!!!

Long time no talk....been keeping busy! I have finally slowed down but now things are starting to pick back up again as far as distractions and being busy goes. But I really need some support, I 've still lost weight since the last time I saw all of you but not as much as I would have liked to. Is there still a meeting this week? I really need to see everyone!

How is everyone doing? Things are good with me too much to type right now but we will talk soon.

April! I'm so glad you're online!

We're still meeting at the Kaiser Point West meeting this Saturday! It's a shame there was no December meeting, I feel like we all really needed one, there's been a lot of struggling going on.

Candra, we will have to whip that Cat into shape:smile2:. It would be nice to see you all. I will be in the Bay this weekend so I won't make to the meeting but I have to make it a point to come to a meeting soon, that's one of my New Year's resolutions. Well pick a date and let me know.

Jes girlfriend how is it going? I went bust on the fist day of the 5day band-test. I will start it again on Monday. I have to see Dr. Park on 2/25.

Reggie would love to come to your place. Busy on the 13th but the 6th would work for me.

Candra: why was he reluctant? 10 pounds in 3 months you will be fine. I have to lose 10 in 5 weeks. 2 a week!! LOL. So what are unrealistic expectations for the lap band. I want more details of Dr. Fischers expectations for the band!! Not hungry with 1/2 cup. Really Candra?? I do get hungry like stomach growling hungry.........Really, really really?? Hmmm gotta think about that one.

Well no gym yet today. Just got home. Work kicked my butt today. I am frustrated with management.

Bring ing some 18/20s this weekend. I am in 14/16 if anyone has any~~ or XL.

I emailed Dr. Baggs to day and explained my Robin comment. I figured I needed to tell him it the tone of voice not the words that bug me. I know they are good friends so I have to be careful.............honest but careful.

I still wanna say screw the whole thing cause I am still frustrated with the darn band but have to give it a try..........or learn how to do fills on my own?? I know a place in town that will do them for 100 dollars but that would NOT go over well to show up with a fill!!! LOL. That is for if I lose my insurance my backup plan!!

Hi Everyone! I hope all are well. I think it's the weather that makes us want to eat....I downed to many chocolate covered almonds yesterday and the day before and the scale was not friendly to me this morning. I was up 2.3lbs from yesterday's weight...WTF??? 2.3lbs in one day...I don't think so.... So, it was back to the plan... today...I did okay, not great but OK.

Tina-How many steps are you at??? I did make myself do the treadmill after eating to much for dinner... I managed to do 52 minutes.... I am so tired... and my foot hurts.

Candra-I am glad you were able to get a tiny fill. We both have 5cc's now.... Maybe we will lose some weight. I really want to be in Onederland. I have 3lbs to go....However, it may be more like 4lbs since the candy episode.

Tamra-I'm glad you are up and about. Keep up the good work. Are you having any gas?

Riley-Yes, girl!!! Guard your heart. You are too precious. Try not to fall in love or like too quickly.

Heather-Keep at it. The scale will move. I only update my ticker based on my Kaiser Weights.

Reggie-I would love to come to your house. Feb 13 won't work for me either. That is Valentine's Day Weekend. February 6 works for me so far. What city do you live in?

Nicolie-Hey girl! How are you?

Everyone I missed!!! How are you?

      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.
