GETTING ANXIOUS

I'm starting to get anxious about my follow-up appointment with the doctor. A friend just had the GBS Monday and has lost 5lbs already. She is in a lot of pain, but is glad she went through with it. I'm anxious to see her through this. Figured it would help me with my decision if I get to go through it with someone. Next appointment with the dietitian is in 2 weeks.

Update

Well, I went for my second visit to the dietitian. I lost a whopping 8 pounds in a month while practically starving myself. Eating 5 times a day is hard, but it's what I have to do. I went to a seminar for the GBS and it was very informative. I have one more appointment with the dietitian then my follow-up with my doctor for the referral to the doctor who performs the GBS. We'll see if the insurance approves it.

Been A While

Wow, didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. Things are going pretty good. I met with a dietitian last week. I'm on a eating 5 times a day diet. Hard to get use to but I'm adjusting. This is the first step for the GB surgery. I figured hopefully this will motivate me so that surgery isn't necessary. I have to meet with the dietitian for 3 months before the process begins. We'll see what happens....

Issues

I really think I have a problem! Everyday I wake up and think today is going to be the day I truely do this then by the end of the day I've failed.....I can't even keep up a program for a week! Been looking seriously at surgery, but if the insurance doens't cover it there's no way I can pay for it.....Like $25,000.....wow! Never realized how expensive it is!

The Weekend Sucked

Well, I totally blew everything this weekend. I didn't get in my workouts and ate unhealthy! I just got off the phone with a friend who is over weight and she is going to do the gastric bypass surgery. I just can't take that route...I've gotta get myself together and lose weight. I have to stick to this. I am going to try again tomorrow to get back on the right path.

Day 3

Well, today wasn't a work out day, but I still did good with what I ate. I found some light bread that is like 1/2 the calories so it makes my sandwiches less calories. I also tried out those 100 calorie packages of chips, which are nice because they're pre packaged, so I don't have to worry about overdoing it!
