Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hey all,I'm Cat, and in the South SF program. Had my Orientation last June (2005) and was toodling along with my 10% when I got sidelined by various things (my father passing away from cancer, new health problems that cropped up). So then I find out Dr. Umbach has moved away (who was assigned to be "my" surgeon). Now that Dr. Li is the only one currently left at SSF, and he is *very* conservative with how much weight he wants us to lose (a lot less than the original 10%), I'm one of the new group of bariatric patients starting the Optifast plan for pre-op weight loss, due to my medical conditions that I'm struggling with. Is anyone else here in the program, or has had experience with it before? I'm looking forward to starting it, soon as Kaiser gets the product in... talk about making meal choices simple! :-DOther than that, I'm part of a folkloric dance troupe based in Sacramento (currently focusing mainly on North Africa and the Middle East) and I spend way too much time doing historical recreation (SCA and faires). Looking forward to sharing info with others.Cheers!~ Cat How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi Cat! I've met you before at the Lifestyle 2 classes! Glad to see you here! Optifast, huh? I lost 40 lbs. in 1 1/2 months from that like 15 years ago! I wonder if they'll let me do that??? I too am struggling with the 10%....I also have many health issues....I wonder.... Anyway, are you going May 17th at 2:00 in SSF? I'll be there for like the 10th time. Talk to ya later! Love, Jenn "Cat G." wrote: Hey all,I'm Cat, and in the South SF program.
