I'm On my way

Aug 31, 2009

So I finally found my weight watchers sticker book that proved to Kaiser that I have had 6months of classes so I can join their Option class. If you do no have any proof then you can go through their free nutritional program where your food log is looked and and told what to change. I been on way to many diets to go through this again. I know what I am to eat and how much that is not why I am 300 pounds. So I saw Dr Ray and he gave be the OK for starting program. Dr. Lott called me and unfortunitly since I am a stay at home mom and homeschool my kids the only time I can do the 5 month classes before surgery is after husband gets off work so I have to wait till Dec. I have waiting this long so another 4 months is not going to kill me although I would love to start the progress. They say there is a recommendation of losing 10% of weight before surgery my question is it 10% of what I weigh now or when I start the class???? It is not a manatory thing but there is a high recommendation and a hint of the attitude of if you do not do this then the surgeon can deny you the surgery because the fat around the liver needs to be reduced. Finally, I am hoping that I will be able to get a transfer to a Kaiser site that will let me do a VSG. I hate that San Diego does not do it. So this is my road I am about to encounter. I have fear that I will not be able to eat right when I get surgery but my biggest problem is portion control and I hear many say they have to remind themself to eat so that is a big plus. You tube has been a big help also. God Bless
