My journey
Nov 05, 2009
I'm still on the journey of losing weight pre-surgery as of 10/26/09 I have lost 13 pounds since 8/21/09, not bad. I'm exercising 4 days a week for an hour, and eating healthier. But I hope its all worth it, I still have a lot of questions about do I really want to have surgery or take 2 years and try to lose it naturally, since I'm doing so good right now with my life change. I just fear never being the same and all the pills and vitamins required scares me. It's one thing to take a multi vitamin and if you miss one here or there nothing will happen, but the idea that taking a pill or not is the difference between life and death. Based on the mandatory program that Kaiser requires you to go through, I won't have surgery until around mid February if I decide to go through with it. Although I want the results that having gastric by-pass will afford me, I still need to be realistic with how much commitment is involved in post-surgery. So I will continue through the program and let God guide me as to whether or not when the time comes if I get on the table and make the most needed change in my life.
