Time to take my life back!!!
Feb 07, 2012
I have lost myself somewhere along the way in my journey.......I have allowed myself to gain 25 horrifying pounds.......boy how they just creep up on you:( Tomorrow is a new day, and it is the day I decide to take my life back and get back on track......I am not one of the cursed WLS patients who can not eat sugar with out dying.....or at least wishing you were.......I am able to eat ANYTHING.......and this scares the living hell out of my.......My ultimate discovery is that whether I eat a whole bag of cookies, chips, candies, or what ever ALL at once( which I can't anymore) or through out the day......the end result is that you have still consumed the same amount of calories reguardless of how you chose to eat the food........WOW what a true revelation.......Anyways I decided to turn to my dietician at Ohio State Medical Center for some help/guidence. As from day 1 of my journey, I have NEVER had an outside support system......I have NEVER been to a support meeting......the only outlet I have had is here with the Obesity Help family......so I am at least greatful for this.....Anyways I am already disappointed in myself for letting me get lost.........But if I could see the look on my Dietician's face........It would have been priceless......His first response to my Email wasn't what I expected, But it is what I needed to hear........this is what he had to say to me, (What!! You are my success story. You've supplied the only before and afters I have hanging in my office and I tell folks about you on a daily basis as a result. Stop with all the nonsense and get moving!! You've set the standard for patients to strive for. LETS GO!! Like you said, you know what to do - just do it! What's your current weight so I can get a better assessment of your calorie needs?) Adam Freter RD, LD OSU Bariatric Surgery Dietitian Phone: (614) 293-4725Anyways, his words hit me like a ton of bricks and it wasn't pleasant at all.......I think this was the final straw to push me back into reality........So tommorow is a new day, and it is the day I take my life back:)
