My journey
Apr 22, 2008
I attended orientation at South San Francisco Kaiser on November 13, weighing in at 243. I am 5'3" tall and will be 65 on May 31, 2008.
I have been attending support meetings on Monday nights for the last month and am trying (and I stress the trying) to exercise daily; usually accompishing it 2-3 times a week but am getting better.
I have been following the 1200 calories or less plan and getting in my protein and the vitamins, etc. since orientation. I am down 26 lbs. as of 4/22/08. I went to the nutrition class two weeks ago and am now waiting for the appointment with the bariatrics director where she will set my goal to lose prior to surgery. The closer I get to surgery the more excited I get.
