Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

cukiemunster? I think most of us are going through Richmond but there are some SSF people too. From what other people have posted both facilities are good - I liked Richmond but then I don't have anything to compare it to.

I think I'm the only one here going through Fremont Kaiser, but I am sure they all pretty much use the same system.

Hi All -stopping by for a quick Hi. I did not fall off the face of the earth, just been struggling alot and also very busy. Read the first page here, but can't read all that I missed so catch me up on any big news from my Sistas of Surgery!

Really struggling with the eating for the wrong reasons - you name one and I've probably done it recently. Trying hard to get back to following all the rules, but it is hard. I'm still playing with the same 2 - 3 lbs.

I don't think my restriction is right yet, but it is definately better than before I had my first fill. I have had episodes of getting stuck, PBing and sliming - all such lovely experiences!! Mostly happens if I don't chew well enough or eat too fast and don't let everything catch up or do one of my emotional eating binges. I want to force myself to get back to following the program consistently before I contact Dr. Park about another fill.

Still struggling to get a regular exercise routine during the week. So far I walked after work on Monday and went to Yoga Tuesday night. Was going to walk tonight but since I haven't left work yet that is not going to happen.

I promise to come on again more often, as I know I need your support. Also have set a goal for myself to lose 27 lbs by 9/13 which will be my 1 year anniversary of starting on this journey with my pre-op diet.

I think someone mentioned a walk and lunch in Vallejo - I am definately up for that - would love some hugs from my sistas! When?

YAY Pat, so good to see you. I've really missed you. Would you please PM me your email address. I thought I had it, but I don't. I met a woman at the Kaiser group that lives up in your area and I told her about you.

Riley, I had hoped to finally make it to one of the walks but I'll be away on vacation that week.

I leave tomorrow at 3:30am for my 15 day trip to the South of France. I'm so looking forward to it!

Take care everyone! :(

I got the call yesterday and my appt with the surgeon was moved to the 18th :( I was so mad. It is so hard being so far away cause I have to take a day off just to go to any appts and its so frustrating when they bump me. So the lady I talked to told me the diet should have started after orientation...yikes. That was a year ago so I hope I am not in too much trouble!

I want to get my surgery moving! Any advice on how? I am not very flexible and able to be on a cancel list for appts unfortunatley :eek:

      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.
