  1. well it seems i did over do it. i went to the Ont Mills and walked the entire mall. no energy today at all. i think i should stick to the neighborhood or the back patio for a while. dont want any setbacks. i was so proud to make it tho!!
    the itching has gone, i noticed that today but now i seem to have a yeast infection. out of the blue. WTF. this too shall pass!
    The staff at St Bs were all very good, friendly and helpful. i cant wait to see the Dr on Tuesday. ready for something different to eat!

    Glad to hear your home and resting. What did you think about the staff at St. B's? Yeah, I had to stay an extra day because of the nausea. Sorry about the itch, I didnt have that issue. I walked around the house for the first week or so and then made it out around to the neighborhood the next week with the dog. Dont over exert yourself though. I didnt really get my energy back until I got to the solid food stage. Just take it easy and go by the plan they gave you. I used their plan for the first couple of weeks then I tweeked a few things and made it work in my daily life. I needed to add more calories or I would stall in the weight loss. 400-600 calories wasnt cutting it for me. I hope the itch goes away and let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks a bunch Rereb, I'm going to do my best. Will do on the liquids! Or will try.
  5. 4/23 is my date. so far i'm down 11 lbs since meeting with Dr Chin just over 2 weeks ago. 1200 cal diet he put me on. did you have to do that or a liquid diet prior to surgery? everyone is so different. the TJ patients have a much different schedule than Kaiser. i try to do more liquids than solids some days, i really want to shrink this fatty liver of mine!!

    Hi! Yes, I did have my surgery through Fontana Kaiser and Dr. Chin was my surgeon. Are you currently going through the option classes? I had my surgery at St. Bernardines and the nurses/staff there were amazing! Dr. Chin is great too, a little on the serious side but always there to answer any questions you might have. The surgery went off without a hitch but I did have to stay an extra night because of the pain and nausea. I live alone but so I stayed with my parents for a few days after surgery. Looking back now I could of went home and manage on my own but it was nice to have someone around just incase. The first couple days were rough but it gets better after that. I followed the paperwork about food, calories and protein I got from Kaiser for the first 6 weeks or so but kept stalling with my weight loss. Everyone I talked to here said I wasnt getting enough calories and my body was in starvation mode. As soon as I increased my calories, the weight started falling off again. My suggestions are to do as much as you can the week prior to surgery so there will be less to worry about after. The week before I cleaned the house top to bottom, did laundry, got my percriptions filled, made soups and meals and froze them in individual containers, stocked up on protein, shave, plucked and waxed! You can never be fully prepared but the more you do now, the easier it is later. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.
