Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

well eating the Soup now, at my desk in front of the computer all the things I'm not supposed to do. Anyway it's good but even though I got it from kaiser it probably has so much sodium I'll be sweating salt for the next 2 days.

Tamra, see what happens when you stop hanging with us? Check in more often :blink:

Ok, just got online to check my appt - it says 8am, bldg B, 3rd floor and we need to be 15 min early to park & register so 7:40 it is! Whoever gets there first needs to run up and get in the registration line!

So, Christine, sounds like Doc Fisher is a little more on the conservative side - huh. Seeing that he took Fluid out this early in the game. Good to know!

So, got that Heather, when it's time for you and yours to have a baby - don't tell Doc Fisher right away LOL

SO.. im doing much better then i was yesterday and the other day with crab. Last night i couldnt get myself to eat broth.. so i had Soup and salad... at red robin, it ALL WENT DOWN PERFECT. Then i didnt eat bfast, could tell i was not ready, so i had Water then lunch 1/4 c tuna on my lettuce:) went down perfect. No pain nada. I think my issue is breads and tortillas... Im really tryin hard to forgow them.. and since i have no problems.. interesting.

OMG pms is hitting me hard, i have not had a REAL hard tom since before auds, last month i had 2 days of spotting... sparatically thru the month.. But this am i woke up in tears. Its like when i was in highschool.. the cramping.. (caused me to go on bc way back in the day..) SO.. im guessing tom will be here within a couple days. OH

I need intervention lol.. Coldstone.. LADIES ITS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE!!! omg WHAT AM I GONNA DO. I already tried it.. eek i know:( so yummy cool thing though is 1/4-1/2 c is too much for me. lol, i guess thats better then a cup and half before.. or 2 cups... but still id ont know what to do. Im .5 miles from sunrise mall. 2 miles from the nice walmart... and about 1 mile from the coldstone. ekkkkk!!!:blink:

I am gonna work out tonight once mike gets home, auds isnt to fond of the workout kids area lol..:)

Christine.. like ive said already:) Your body will naturally loose weight while prego if you eat right. I didnt even try to loose weight when i was prego with auds, and i started around your weight. But i lost a lot. You will be fine. Dont stress over the scale though you gots a lot of other things to worry about:D

Tina: you know i am always worried about you, you girl are in my prayers. I hope you get offered this job tomorrow! You could really use a big break!!!! AND, id email baggs to get your butt in.. could you by any chance see any of the other surgeons??

Riley! good job at getting the retention gone!:cool2: Im workin on tha tnow lol. So crazy what a lil lack of water can do...:tt1:

BTW all you paying a ton.. for kaiser especially your kids.. seriously call kaiser ask about the child health plan, it is theirs.. i pay get this 5.00!!! for audrey. till she is 18. Her copays are all 5.00... it is worth checking into. And when we qualified we were making 4k a month for a fam of 3.. now we dont make quite that much but still qualify:D

YAY our Nicole is back! We missed you girlie! :-) Hey don't mess around with cramps and Mirena - it could be either coming out or trying to get further in - if it is unusual for you since about 2 months after you put it in, CALL YOUR NP!!

BAD carb day, OK if I go home and have my 2 servings of Soup that I have all planned out, with asiago cheese, and then STOP for the night, I will be at 1,103 calories but a whopping 120 grams of crarbs! The 3 things that killed me where: 1 whole cup of black beans; 1/2 slice of white cake (50th birthday party here); and 2 hershey's dark chocolate kisses. YES I LOG THEM! I log everything that goes in, except Clear Liquids less than 10 calories/serving. SO . . I better get on my water!

Ah, riley - that darn cake!

Nicole - I'm excited to see you tomorrow too!

Jes, can we even bring in a Latte? Cuz I'm not trying to drink anything before I get weighed!!

Before I say this I just want it on record that I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed: I think I may have figured out my sweet cravings issue... So, like, remember when I said that smells are my biggest trigger... I got these candles - vanilla - and they smell so good, very sweet - I've been lighting them every evening and it just hit me that they are probably the reason I want to eat sweets so so so much LOL.

I have a headache - blah blah blah

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
