First Entry about Kaiser Medical Weight Loss Management Program

May 1st, my first entry about the Kaiser Medical Weight LossManagement program or what I call WLM or code name WILLIAM lol. So I met with William last night at 5pm and the routine is that everyone checks in and gets their BP and weight checked and head down to the conference room for our meeting at 6pm. Everyone is pretty tired and some hungry at this time. We were administered our order of food and so meal replacements started today. So far, I am loving everything that I've tried and have been keeping up with the gallon of water a day. I feel the biggest trick is to drink the amount before 3pm at the latest so that you are not running to the bathroom at nighttime and interrupting your sleep (or making an accidental mess!!). So I'm allowed 6 meal replacements (MR) a day, those are my rations lol. I usually go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and I'm hungry.

Before starting this program, I used to eat a Zone bar at that time, so for me, it was natural to eat a bar. So my first meal replacement day started out with FUDGE GRAHAM bar (1) and it was really yummy!! GREAT that it was big and not like the little tiny Jenny Craig bars lol. Also, it tasted very much like the Zone Fudge Graham, just not as sweet, but that is ok!! So my next MR is a chocolate shake (2) on the way to work which was at 7:30 am. It reminded me of a shake I drank about 20 years ago, and probably pretty similar since it is the same company!! REALLY DELISH! OMG!!

I'm at work by the way, and usually get hungry about 10 am. So, I just used the times that I normally do and grab a MR. I decided to try the peanut butter bar (3) and it was really yummy!! So I had a dental appointment in between and slowed down on the water before my appointment (thankfully) and then went back to work and at 2:15 pm I was hungry again and decided to drink a vanilla shake (4). It was not so spectacular, nothing to write home about, but still, very rich and kept off the hunger until my next MR which was at 5pm. I decided to munch on a double berry bar (5) REALLY YUMMY!!

Keep in mind I'm still working and it was cake day today (which I resisted gracefully) and drinking my water. So far, it is only 5:20, I do not feel deprived, hungry, weak, dizzy etc. I feel great, energized, and satisfied. So, the report for 5 of 6 meal replacements is a good one and I am so stoked about tomorrow. Tonight, for dinner, I'll drink the chicken soup. I wanted to avoid liquid later in the evening, but I'll probably have that at 4 or 5 pm at work tomorrow instead so I'm not having it late night. I'll report how it goes (MR #6) either today or tomorrow, but so far so good!!! ;)
