Just Beginning the Process

Hello everyone!  I am beginning the process of working through the requirements for the health insurance and I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.  I have already begun attending support group meetings, met with the nutrionist, physiologist, and the psychiatrist.  I guess you could say I started my 3month monitoring of my diet today, although I had an appointment with my dr. last month. Turns out I gained four pounds, so I have some additional changes to make.

For those of you that have had surgery would you say that there were certain things that you did that helped with your recovery after you had the surgery?  or things you wished that you would have done?

Thanks for listening and for any thoughts you may share!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!!

You seem to be on the right track to making lifestyle changes.  Last month's visit should count towards your requirement, even if you gained.  The idea is not how much you can lose, but to change your habits and show that you are commited.

The only thing I wish I had done differently was to begin exercising in earnest BEFORE surgery.  Even though it is more difficult to exercise being morbidly obese, it would have been a better idea to get in the habit sooner.

Please stop by often, we are here for you!
