Please read this it might help you!!!
First of all thank you guys so much for all your prayers since Ive been sick....
I have been having alot of trouble eating lately.. which has made me malnutrioned....Also..Iam scared of eating because somethings make me sick...I have been doing alot better.. My sister is with me now and she has had gatric bypass and we work together....BUT, Iam not eating because I dont want to gain weight for real that is furthest from my mind....I really dont see how ppl are gaining their weight back but Iam sure it happens....Mainly what I wanted to say is like the chat with Dr H. everyone is different with this TOOL/SURGERY....for me its different. I do eat but not as much as most ppl who have had it. Some days I can eat a lil more than others...YES, I have been eating most of the same stuff I started out on but gradually Im now adding more to my diet....I dont eat bread to me it clogs me up. Pasta I do eat but its wheat pasta. I do eat alot of Veggie Soup and YES MY FAMOUS CHICKEN SOUP lol....You would not believe the great cheif Iam on chicken and veggie soup lol.....
I will admit Im scared at times because of my eating disorder.. but like Dr H said. Look where I would have been if I had not had the surgery. I cant get thru this. It will take time I know....I just want you all to know its not because Iam afraid of gaining my weight back I have no fear of that . Iam sure my weight will continue to stay off....Other than that Iam so much healthier than ever before. I have not been this size or healthier since I was in grade school. I know now that my weight was bad in high school and ppl I graduated in 1978 that was a very long time ago...I know now my health had started to deminish around that time. When I was a nurse I sat alot and did paper work mostly, it wasnt because I was lazy because I loved to work. I just couldnt ....NOW, I want my nursing back or something equivelent to it. I want to go go go....
Another big factor is Stress....I have now learned to handle this. Always working on it. day by day. Stress is big issue when it comes to eating or anything. God knows we all have Stress. Positive prayer is one of the key factors in helping you through stressful times....Give it all to Jesus. I assure you he will take care of it. Turn it all over to him. Ive said this before and Mr. and Mrs Minks will tell you and Ms Jan. throw your hands in the air and Praise him for all the wonderful things he has done and the things he will do....sometimes we dont thank you enough and we just ask ask ask....Give him the praise and the glory you will see..
Just remember God has given you the chance to live your life now. Iam sure he was the one who touched the surgeons who did the research on this surgery and used them to help him and us. It doesnt hurt for you to call up your surgeon sometimes and thank him for all his help. Dr. H is such a nice guy. I make a point to tell him and Marge how wonderful they are and how much they mean to me.
Ok enough preaching. I have a dear friend who told me I should start preaching lol. Well, I think God has other means for me to help him that Iam working on also....
Good night my friends and keep on doing great. Also to the new comers. and new ops....It does get better. Plz believe me.. ITS all worth the wait and the time you put into it. I would do it again in a heart beat.
God Bless and love you all ... Craig Lee Watts
