Good Morning Calif....Welcome to WWW

That is great Nancy!  Another wonderful wow moment!

Good Morning Lu, and Cali Peeps,

Hope everyone is doing well this morning. You can put me down for a 1lb lost since I last posted. I will take it. I haven't been that proactive in my journey the last few weeks. I am happy that the holidays are over, not that I indulged like I would of before,but I would of just perfered to stay away from the junk in the first place, but I am not perfect. I have also been so lax with my workouts. I need to get back into a routine. I have been sick and am finally am feeling better. Just need to get rid of this cough.  Not much for me today, a few appointments later, and then back to work tomorrow.

Hugs Eileen

Hi everyone I am new to this. Just signed up today! My name is Tritia I live in Hemet. I am married and have 3 kids. I have been overweight my whole life. It has been a constant struggle for me. Now I am 30 , and I am OBESE. I am 5ft 3 in and weigh about 230. I have been trying to loose weight with appetite suppresants, Jenny Craig , Weigh****chers, ect. But I always gain the weight back. I need help. I have Kaiser inusrance , and have noticed that alot of people have had bariatric surgery through Kaiser. So I need help, can you the experianced group of people tell me how I can on track to having weight loss surgery with Kaiser?

Hi Tritia,

Welcome to the CA Board.  There's a wealth of information here.  If you should have any questions, please feel free to post them. 

I have Kaiser, my approval took a while (only because I had a pcp that did not believe in wls).  Once I got past that hurdle, the process was easy and fast.  Where you told that you had to keep track of your weight loss?  Do you have to take the Options classes?

Hey Kim,
Thanks so much for responding. I need all the help that I can get. I have not started the process yet......
I have an appointment for a physical next week with my pcp. Cross my fingers that she is a pcp who agrees with WLS. But I am wondering since you have been through this before , what can I say at my appt? How do I get it all started. Any tips to get the proccess of to a good start?

Evening Lu and Cali friends,

Better late than never.  This week finds me up 1/2 lb, but I expect to lose that and more next week by getting back to basics and journaling.

Hugs,
Barb

Hi Barb,

I was wondering about you?  Glad you found some time even though it's past 10 to post your WWW. 

Not too many people post their WWW.  I may put something on my page as it will show up on the pages of the people in my friends lists and also post to my OH friends on Facebook.

Thanks for reporting.  1/2 lb. is nothing, you have done fabulous and you are having a Surgiversary on Friday - WOOT WOOT

Enjoy your evening.

HI Cali Crew,
I have a 1/2 hour left for WWW, because I kept forgetting to post all day. Please count me down for 2 pounds gone. I am happy with this and for the first time I can say I didn't gain weight through the holidays and actually came out a little lighter.

My challenge seems to be a mind that constantly wants to eat no matter how full I might feel. Food was my coping mechanism for EVERYTHING! My brain doesn't want me to give it up and the chatter is sometimes unbearable. SIGH! I hope as I starve the beast it will go away, but so far it seems to be fighting hard.

Take Care all,

MsBlues
