10-19-10 First Day Options Class

Oct 20, 2010

We'll, both my wife and I attended our 1st of 12 Kaiser Options classes preparing us for bariatric surgery hopefully next January or February.  In the 14 days since our orientation class we both lost 4 lbs each.  I was down to 328.4 lbs from 335 lbs initially.  I've been doing lots of research on various surgeries, and feel pretty confident that as a diabetic I'll be scheduled for the RNY, as there is a 96% that it'll put my diabetes in remission.  I've also been researching and purchasing various Whey Protein drinks, including GNC Total Lean, Unjury, Super Fortress, and Six Star Professional, and comparing them.  So far it looks like Super Fortress is the best bang for the buck, but I'll see what the dietitian has to say next week.  If anyone wants a copy of the Excel spreadsheet that I've tracked all of them on, my email is [email protected] and I'd be happy for forward you a copy.  My wife just purchased a treadmill from Sears, and I set it up for her, but I can't use it yet as it has a 300 lb max capacity.  Give me a few more weeks, and I'll be down to that.
