Guess I'm going the "old-fashioned way" for now

At no time have I said that I think those who have WLS are "taking the easy way out."  I have a relative who had lap band, and a friend from work had gastric bypass (not sure if it was DS or RNY - she just said "gastric bypass") and I see how hard they work.  Both have lost weight and both work very, very hard.  I have read on almost all of the forums here for the past 6 months, and I still read the surgical forums from time to time.  I do not see surgery as the easy way out.  

I just can't see myself going under the knife right now.  I know that WLS is covered by my insurance, and I'm pretty sure that I'd be approved for whatever surgery I chose.  However, the more I read, the more I just don't want another foreign object in my body.  I already have implants from breast reconstruction following my last bout with cancer.  I don't want to do a malabsortive procedure, as I really want to lessen the pills I take, not add more in the form of supplements, etc.  I don't want to worry that I'm doing more harm than good by not getting enough nutrients.  Pretty much the only procedure I'd consider would be the VSG, and that scares me.  I've read too many horror stories about what can go wrong.

I am retired and on pension, and my husband is on disability.  I just don't feel that I can afford more doctor bills right now on top of what I already have. 

Anyway, I came here for support.  If you can't be supportive without preaching at me, then I don't need that kind of "support."  

I honestly didn't think that someone would follow me over here to this forum and try to convince me not to do this without surgery.  If you can't be supportive without forcing surgery on me, then take it elsewhere.  I don't want it.

And I didn't say that we have no choice but to eat junk and fastfood.  Go back and read what I said in my OP.  I said, "We have no choice but to budget every penny."  We are eating good, healthy food in the form of lean protein (chicken or fish usually), veggies, whole grains, and fruit.  Not a lot of junk because we can't afford a lot of junk.

Sigh . . .

I wish you wouldn't take one or two phrases out of context and run with them.  And read the ENTIRE OP before you go off half-****ed. 

No need to reply to me, Zee.  You earned yourself a blocking, dear.  Have a nice life.
