Things are finally moving....
Going for my tests at the hospital on Monday then meeting the anesthesiologist on Nov, 13th in Bathurst...I started my weight loss journey, AGAIN, in August 2014 and have lost 36 lbs since and doing really well with the program. But I know myself...I have been been overweight for as long as I can remember and have started MANY diet programs where I did really good for the first few months and then I would lose motivation or just stop the program. What gets to me is close friends questioning why I want the surgery when I am doing so good with my weight loss right now...I hate it because it makes me question if I should do it or not.
I am like you. I do really well on my own for a while and then the slide starts. I too have questioned whether or not surgery is the answer for me and I have come to the conclusion that the surgery will help prevent the slides.
I have met met the team and had the info session. I am meeting dr. Savoie on Friday.
I have been been doing okay on my own since the end of September but I find it such a struggle. I am eating healthy but get mad at myself when I eat too much. I think to myself if I can't do this now how will I be able to do it post op. I have to keep reminding myself that the surgery will give me the tool I need to succeed long term. I constantly hover between fear, apprehension, excitement, doubt and hope. It is such a roller coaster of emotion!
