I had my NUT appt yesterday which didn't go well.  My last appt was in January and then my surgery was denied and all that other stuff I went through before I finally got it approved about 2 weeks ago.  Well lets just say that I was BAD, very BAD since January, I gained 18 lbs.  I don't even know how that is possible but I did.  Once I found out I was meeting with the NUT I started my food logs again and started walking again but that wasn't enough, I still got the lecture, "You're only hurting yourself", "you really should have kept it up" blah, blah, blah, like I didn't know all of that, I wouldn't be the size I am today!!!!  Well after all was said and done I have to start a liquid protein diet on Oct 6th, here we go, surgery is 3 weeks from yesterday.  Well I guess I'm done my pitty party, chin up and move forward, thanks for listening or reading I should say.

Sorry to hear about your set back.  Corinne is tough (and I assume the new Nut is too) but it is to make your surgery go smoothly.  (Hope I don't sound mean...I don't want to be sounding like I'm flaming you....I'm not....please forgive me!) 

BUT...just imagine!  3 weeks until surgery!!  Don't beat yourself up about this!  What's done is done....today and tomorrow are new days to do what you can!  It'll be here before you know it AND it will be worth it in the end!!

Good luck with the liquid diet!  I KNOW that's gotta be tough!!!!  I'll be thinking about you!

I understand that Corinne is tough and it's for my own good, she is just looking out for my well being.  I have been following my regular diet since last Monday and I started walking again so I know I'm on the right path.  I just have to keep on truckin...Thanks for the support

DOreen, now listen,  it could have been alot worse, she could have cancelled the surgery.  Take this as another chance, and fight, fight, fight and move on.  It will be tough, but look at the ultimate goal.  have your last meal, make it a good one, and start the fire baby !!!!!  the fire we know has been smoldering.   you can do it.  yooo hooo, we're here for you.

Use the past a a learning experience and move on.  This is all about learning, taking note of what works and doesn't work for you. The past 9 months didn't work.  
This next few days you can practice portion control and healthy eating, and exercising before the liquid diet.

Yeah, I find going to my nut appointments to be very discouraging - before and after - it's something that I endure for them moment.

But YIPPEE - you are approved, finally and have a date - congratulations.

 im so with u i understand 100 % , i no this a started a program only too have too leave and go too another program my heart was broken for sure i did not no even if i was ever going too go thru with it . so i started the new program which im so happy i did ! im meeting with all the people u have too meet with , i meet with the last nut and i failed my test on food,.which she was alot upset withme , mind u i am a chef and i work in rehab place , been cooking for 23 years and too best school in the nation , blah , blah , blah, anyways it was huge set back for me i been working at this for 2 years, , so she says coming back in month for another test i did i passed , but this time i failed my weight in i gained 5 pounds from last time, i was hot and wanted too cry , i stop at  wendys ( at so much that day) eat out angry , i wanted too ca**** in. give up walk away for sure , then i said enough, is enough  from that day it changed me ,for the better , i did not care about anything accept my self, and sometimes i think atleast for myself thats how i play it..and i know how i got too the way i am , i just have too change it so i can live in the now.

i guess the other thing is how does one tell me how too live my life , when they never  walk in my shoes or deal with what i do, so i guess it really about me
