two weeks
Jan 24, 2012
It's two weeks before my surgery and I'm starving! Omg am I hungry! Mainly because I reduced all my calories by like 2000. No more soda, no more junk just protein shakes and meal replacement bars and one 400 calorie meals. No wonder I'm hungry! I use to be able to eat 3000 to 5000 calories in a day with out batting an eye. But i'm working on not eating. I'm only drinking water or crystal light. I have found fairly decent protein shakes so I'm trying to put my mind on other things than food. Like reorganizing my house or getting crafting. I need to also lose 10 lbs and i'm not sure I can. I am so good at maintaing but loosing lately is a massive struggle. I don't want to push back my surgery but I also don't want to worry about a fatty liver. So i'm just going to sick with it and hope that i can get it done. On another note I cam across two things in the past few days one that upset me really badly (like wanna go punch someone upset) and one that helped me show my husband what i will be going through. The first was an article by Dr. John D. Kelly in out patient magazine. I know a lot of people are commenting on this article, But when I read it. I thought 1 this is a joke # 2 there is no way this guy is a doctor and #3 where does he live so i can go slap him. He call overweight patients behemoths, the he said his over weight patients have a stretch marks on their teeth more chins than a chinese phone book and that is bad when their dress size is bigger than the doctors IQ. I have a problem with that. Yes I know there is a lot of prejudice against the very over weight. But there is no reason to write such an article and mock your patients. I understand if it's an article about that the obesity in america is getting out of control but to make fun thats horrific. Granted he did publish an apology letter, but my feelings are it shouldn't have been done in the first place... The good thing is last night Dr. Oz show (something I actually never watched before) Had an informational show on gastric bypass and it was a really good show. I had my husband watch it so he truly gets what i am going through.. I think it's a lot easier to watch it, then read all of the articles and books i've read... i think its a positive move for him, i think he gets it a little better now :)
