Hi Tim,
   Glad you are working at increasing your exercise. That's very good. The idea of losing weight pre-op or post-op is learning to eat healthy. I know there are habits we all have that are had to break, but you can do it. Did the surgeon or NUT give you examples of what you should be eating right now?
    Glad you are getting sleep study and blood work out of the way.

i havent even met my surgen yet lol   wish i would have by now   um  not till the next one she wants to see what i eat  and at my  3rd apointment she said she would    take a look   at what im eatingand tell me what i need to change  my sochal worker    brought over 2 diets    and   its the   south beach diet and the akins   she wants me to try those    when i say she not my dietishion but the nurse that works for this dissability place i  am with

It is not an easy thing to change the way we eat, what we eat, when we eat or how much we eat. It is hard. Thats also part of why wls is not the easy way out so many claim it to be. If we don't get a handle on our relationship to and use of food, the weight will just come back. Have you considered attending counseling or support groups in person to help you as you learn to adjust?

You can do this! Sometimes we need a little extra help, but it doesn't mean we can't make it happen. Reacvhing out here is a very good start!

Your caseworker may not be a dietician, but it sounds like she cares about helping you. One of the best things you can do is to follow a diabetic diet. They are a pretty healthy way of eating with no extremes like many other diets have.

Good luck and keep on keeping on. you'll do it!

thanks i know i can    did pretty good today all though i didint get any  exersize  in  

Keep working towards your goals Tim. You will get the weight loss moving again.
