Just made an appointment with my NUT

Well I finally got around to making an appointment with my NUT. I figured that I need the help to figure out what to eat and when to eat and how much to eat...and well you get the idea. Now that I can move more and do some working out (still no weights or core body stuff yet) I want to maximize my weight loss while I still can. They say that we lose the most early out and I am afraid that I am losing that time.

Of course I can't get in until June 2nd, but that's okay. I also made an appointment with the NUT that specializes in kids for Jacob. He's 12 years old, 4'8" and weighs 145 already. That scares me and him as well. He asked me to take him, so I am. Together he and I will get to our ideal weights.

Also I think I missed a seminar that I was supposed to attend within 4 weeks of surgery...does anyone know about that one? I also want to start going to support groups....can someone fill me in on when they are again and stuff?

Hi Monica, That is great you are going to see the NUT. and that Jocob can see he needs to eat better too with him being still young he should be able to get his weight under controll, I wish my mom and I could have done something like that when I was younger but I was too bull headed to care and just wanted to eat the wrong thing.

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

I wasn't overweight til the end of high school and then when I married my first hubby is when I really got heavy.

As for Jacob, he always asks me to help him, but then if I make a suggestion on what to eat, he gets mad. I am hoping that since he expressed the interest in seeing the NUT that hearing it from her will help.

My youngest son is the same way he now is 23 and I think he is close to 400 lbs now, and still he just wont lose the weight, Monica you are lucky that you were not over weight in high school. I was over 200 lbs when I was 17 and just keep getting bigger every year, So I don't know what thin feels like yet as I have never been their. I hope your son will do as the NUT says.
