LISA'S JOURNEY.

Sep 01, 2014

Welcome to my blog.  I'm usually a quiet person yet  when I have something to say, I like to be able to say it to someone.  I started this journey about 8 weeks ago first with an orientation that never took place.  Then an orientation that did take place.  I have had one nutrition class and have to meet with the "Nut" twice.  The first time being next Wednesday, 9/11.   Tommorrow I have my psych eval, one more item down.  I have already had the endoscopy and clearance from my cardiologist. My insurance requires a 3 month medically supervised "diet." Don't know what else will be required of me.  My BMI is approximately 43 and I weighed in at 260 prior to the new "lifestyle change" (hard not to say diet).  I find myself wondering how I will react to not having sugar or much fat on a regular basis after the surgery.   At the same time,  I am selecting RNY vs the Sleeve due to the possible dumping syndrome.   I know myself,  I need the added incentive that I will adhere to the new eating style. Only a couple of people know of my decision and that's the way I have chosen to do this because I don't want to hear their judgement.  I already had one friend say that she doesn't think I need surgery.  I just need to go back to WW.   What's that saying...keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome.  I think 5 times is enough for me to learn that it isn't working for me.  I am west of Rochester, NY and hope that I am able to meet other western NYers through this blog.
