On this crazy ride, I'm learning a lot

Nov 24, 2008

I am in month 5 of my pre-op diet (insurance required) and I've only lost 5 pounds, but trust me, it is 5 pounds proudly lost. At this rate, I would take me seven years to be at my goal weight...not a chance in...yeah you know where I'm going with this...
I work as a Nanny and the family is really worried that I will be out of work for longer than 2 weeks. I'm hoping not. I heal very quickly so I'm hoping that will be an advantage for me. Tell ya what, if I eat one more egg white, I just might turn into a chicken. I'm going through two dozen eggs a week! I need change. At 800 calories a day, 130 for oatmeal is a heck of a lot for just a serving of oatmeal. I'll stick with a 17 calorie egg white.
I've been getting a lot of "You're not big enough for weight-loss surgery" and "You'll be a different person if you have that done".
Well DUH!!! I actually might live to see 50 if I have this surgery done. A lot of people don't understand it's not what is on the outside thats all messed up. Its the inside. Not my personality or anything, but organs and sleep apnea...stuff like that.
Needless to say, I'm getting worried.
