Starting the path to a brand new me tomorrow!

Dec 20, 2009

At least that's what I'm telling myself. My diabetes is way out of control even with fast acting and long acting insulin and Janumet is afterall 1000mg of Metformin in pretty packaging which still causes the same problem... diarrhea from hades. My parents have both gone through it and it's amazing their transformation - even my Dad's who had his surgery in October and has lost over 70 pounds already! So, tomorrow I go to the first appointment of many at the Bariatric Wellness Institute here in Huntsville and hope for... a yes? Yes, definitely a yes to move me through to the next round. I am, as I calculated it today, over 120 pounds overweight with a BMI of close to 50. It's no wonder I feel so bad about myself. I know that if I want to be around for my kids and be able to see them graduate from high school in 10 years or so then I need to do something and dieting is obviously not the answer. So, off I go into the great unknown with three great supporters and seasoned pro's who have all been there and done it themselves before. And I know it's all for the best.
