Not Giving Up!

Thanks to all of the wonderufl support I got on this board, I started looking deeper into my situation.  For a brief moment, I considered changing doctors, but after a long talk with Nancy, Dr Mattar's assistant, I decided that I need to stay where I am.

I am meeting with Jennifer the nut, and Erin, the exercise physiologist, next Wednesday and they are going to help me.  Jennifer is also seeing if more bloodwork can be done for me.  When I first came to Clarian in February I was deficient in many vitamins, and she is going to see if that had improved, and if not that may also be contributing to my lack of weight loss.

I started today on a positive note, and I feel good about life again.  I also dug out an old exercise DVD of mine and am going to try to work it here in my living room....

Thanks for all the support and tough love yesterday!  It was just what I needed!

Stacy, we're all entitled to those "poor me" moments, just as long as we pull ourselves out of it and get back on track. I'm glad you came here and found support and suggestions to help you out of your slump. Hang in there, it will happen.

Good to hear you are feeling better today and taking steps to proceed. A little tough love never hurt anyone. Not everyone accepts it and some people's idea of tough love is more like insults but, when you truly care to help it will show.
I care and am glad you have those appt's.
Good Luck sweetie!!

good to here. stacey.
If you are having trouble losing the weight by Clarian's LRD then all the more reason you need this surgery, right? Good Luck...
