Does anyone else feel really dumb or babied.

I will try my best not to offend anyone as that will never be my intent.

I started this adventure on Oct 3 2011. At 339 pounds Aside from my BMI have not a single medical issue that would have inspired me to seek a by pass.

However last Jan I feel down a fight of stairs and almost broke my neck. I bluged disks in my C5 c6 c7 and nerve damage.  My Dr treating for this injury all agree that it is not safe for them to treat the nech injruy unless I lose a massive amount of wieght.


So I started tring to find a way to do it. I am extreamly limited to movment liek runing walking joging pretty much any physical activeity that could damage the neck more.


So after going to the presentation and then setting up apointments I really feel as if I am being lumped into a group of dumb babies that have no clue how they got to the point of needing this surgey. Now please I dont mean that everyone that is over wieght and needs this is dumb or babies. Its just how I am being made to feel.

I have been a Chef for 18 years I know how I got this way. I know how to eat and no I am not addicted to food. I wieghted 339 because I wanted to in a way. I knew if I keep eating how I want when I want and what i want it would lead to me gaining weight.

I guess I just had to say it someplace were I wasnt going to be grouped into another pack of people I am not a part of.

I will give an example of how they make me feel dumb and babied.

My first apointment I was given a choice of diets. I could go with a lean and green diet High protien no carb very controled. Or I could use the Medifast shakes. But I cant use the shakes till I go to a class to learn how to drink them.  So 2 weeks later I get the apointment to learn how to drink shakes and its 5min were a nurse hands me a piece of paper and says ok now you can buy shakes??????


Is it just me or does anyone feel this way?
