annoying response
My nutritionist, last Monday, added some carbs into my diet. I can have
Mashed potatoes, low fat bread, very cooked pasta, and very cooked rice. She
also added in cooked veggies and fruit. It has been a great experience. Would
I do it again, in a heart beat. Here is the number one question, Am I still
hungry? The answer is yes! I go through bouts of I want to eat everything,
but the minute I get it to my lips, I have no desire to eat it anymore. Am I
happy? I have never been this happy before in my life. I have never had any
type of courage before in my life and that has all changed with this surgery.
I have a lot more self confidence. Just the other night, I actually walked up
to a guy, that was very cute, started talking to him, and actually gave him
my number. (He still hasn’t called, but that’s not the point) The point is at
my heaviest of 260 (pre-op) I would never have done anything like that. Now
at 212, respectively, I have a renewed self confidence that is pouring out at
the seams. I hope that the people out there, that read this, and are thinking
about this surgery, the biggest thing I need to get across to you is, you
need to do this for you, not for anyone else. If you really want to do this,
who cares what anyone else say’s. It’s none of their business. I wish
everyone tons of luck.

See, I know I would be the same way if I lost all that weight. What
procedure did you have done?
My family says I am nuts, my hubby is all for it and of course, my
friends seem to think a little exercise and diet will fix it. I have
been fat my entire life, with numerous slim fast diets, Atkins, Diet
Fuel, Dexatrim, Acutrim, Nutritionists, etc. I am 5′ 7" and now 268.
My heaviest ever. I dont see me getting to my desired weight (140)
without some help.
I want to do it to be happy, to feel better about myself, be able to
do more, and for once, be on an equal playing field with all the
slender and trim people of the world.
