so sorry to have missed this!  I am always looking for something to do with WLS peeps!

Keep us posted should you decide to plan another!!

Hello,

I am new to the site and am pre - op.....

I have completed steps up to pysch evaluation then surgery date.  I have been struggling with trying to loose my 25 lbs (10%) since Feb 29th. I get motivated for a week or so then allow things, environment and people sabatoge me.  Like my friend said "haha, I'm a 7 day dieter".  That makes me kinda sad but it's true.  I don't want it to be true! 

I am motiviated most of the time, drinking my protein drinks, eating 1200 calories, water intake, excercise 3-6 times a week but my excuses come around and get the best of me! I hate it!!!

So, if any one has any advise on how I may get my 25 lbs off, I'd love it!  I was even thinking taking diet pills or drink only protein drinks until I loose my pre op weight.

Help, please? 

Thank you so much for listening

I have recently moved to LA county and can get Medi-Cal here with either HealthNet or LA Care Health Plan. I know this forum thread hasn't really been updated in years. Does Medi-Cal even allow weight loss surgery anymore?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks NUjoyce. I actually had my surgery at Alta Bates, I've just been to lazy to weather traffic to go to Oakland on Saturdays. But I think I'm going to start coming  next month. Thanks for the heads up. 

Hi Brenda,
I  have been meaning to get in touch with you...just found this posting again (yay)...along with your email- I was saddened to have missed this past meeting/support at the wells fargo center on the 12th of May...but for good reason as my son got married that day...I will surely be there at the meeting on june 9th, and will be hoping to meet you, too!
