Pre Surgery lifestyle changes

Apr 25, 2014

Today is the day I begin to change my lifestyle slowly but surely. I attended the orientation session at the Guelph bariatric Clinic on Thursday April 24.14. The very next day Friday April 25.14  I called and I have my appointments set with the Nurse, Social Worker and Dietician for June 3 and 16.  I am realizing that this is going to be a huge change. I have like many of you been on numerous diets and have had success many times. However I have never been able to reach my ultimate goal...and begin to gain back after the losing when my body begins to feel comfortable... and every time I gain back I add another 20 pounds. I am at my highest weight right now , 285 pounds. I am very uncomfortable in my own body. I am having issues with osteoarthritis and high blood pressure, I feel like  I am 90 years old some days. Something has to change and I guess it has to be me.

So the last two days I been exploring this website and I have found the food journal and today I will begin tracking my food and "practicing" for Post Op...chewing my food well, slow eating.  I am giving up all carbonated drinks as of today. I am very motivated to have this surgery for one reason only,  HEALTH and overall WELLNESS....physically and mentally.

And So it begins again......
