:blink:OKay so like here I am... I am about to go to my 1st visit on july 16th and sooooo excited.:thumbup: I have yo-yo'd through out life with my weight and finally discoved i had a thyroid that was out of wack. I weighed about 170 then and I had to go for radation treatment for it and it killed my thyroid. So over the years I have been stuggling with my weight.:blushing: I have tried numerous diets and all. Stuggled with depression because of it. I dont like taking pills so I had to get off because I dont sleep anymore. I cant breathe and I am always hungry. My hubby is in the military and I have been through 2 deployments with him and I tragicly gained over 60 lbs. :crying: When i get depressed I eat and cry so you can see how my like was killing me slowly... So I decided to try and do something about it. Now here is my journey to becoming the me I want to be. I will always have to take at least one pill for the rest of my life but I dont want to be depressed :blushing:at looking in the mirror. I dont go out unless I have to and I use to go out all the time when I was thinner. I need to get all this excess weight off of me!!! So help a sista out and we will see where this road leads me!!! thank you for taking the time to read my beginning!!!:thumbup:

I think I am getting dicouraged...

Well lets see... I am triing to really keep my head up and now after doing extended research I have found out that You have to have lots of things wrong with you to get this surgery. First 5 yrs of being fat... BING.... Sleep apnea... have that.... restless leg syndrome... knees bad... depressed... ummm am I missing anything eles? I was told by my insurance company that My doc has to add these things to the referral. Soooo... I have to back track all these things so I kn ow I have all my ducks in a row and now they are telling me that I may have to go through 6 month diet. Okay I know this is not a quick fix diet but I also know I need to keep working on myself for example working out and I guess eating pre chewed food so I dont choke. and all... to make sure I am not one of those folks that think this is a quick fix and I can get it taken out whenever. arrrrrrrrr..... I know its a comiment for life more or less. I need the help cause I can eat myself crazy thats the point of it right? If I can do a diet and stick with it without help (for 6 months) than I dont need the surgery.... Hey I can stick to the diet but how much I eat of the diet food is what I need help with... I dont eat carbs I dont eat suger (use splenda) I love vegs and fruits. Not a drinker. So tell me am I in the wrong mind frame? Is this the right thing to do or should I just give up and start my antidepressants again so I can look at myself in the mirror?

hmmmmm....

Well I guess i was thinking the wrong way yesterday but its a new day. Let me clear this up I got off the depressants cause I dont like taking pills and it was making feel funny when i forget my meds... I have a bad memory. But really I got on them cause my hubby was in Iraq constantly and I had to deal with him being gone. I was constantly forgetting that pill and my head would vibrate but I think I have done well w/o them. I just have to control my anguish more and i have been doing good. I have relized through the prior responses that i have to have patience with this. I will do well in my way... I just hate that I have to wait but like I said i have to learn patience. I am still willing to do this for myself. I knew it will be a journey. Its just my start and having to deal with all this. For all of those that read my blogs thanks for the heads up!!! Its good for the support good or bad!! Everything takes time and I have to stay positive for all of it. I am usually a positive person but like anyone else I have my bad days. Especally when I call the insurance company and they havent gotten my referral and then tell me It will be denied if my Doc didnt put all the nessacery reasons why she had referred me. but than again I dont know if she had or not. Dealing with the military hospitals sometimes is a pain in the neck cause you have to stay on them or you will be doing repeat visits for the same thing. And everytime I go I have my blood taken bc of my Thyroid. I changed my diet several times and the low carb thing works but I have to battle the hunger pains and usually give in. To the response about the splenda... I would love to use sugar in everything but I have to pull back cause i love sugery coffees and I really not sure if spenda turns to fat...lol... maybe someone can clear that up for me... But i do know all the foods I love all turn to fat like all the carbs and sugar. I use to be on this diet doc low carb diet while my hubby was away and lost some weight and trained myself to only eat the good stuff for your body until my hubby came back and only ate hamburgers cause he missed them sooooo much, i fell back in my hole that I gradually climbed out of. And then we had moved to the desert where its truly hot and know I am the heaviest i ever weighed and having pains. Thank goodness he is behind me a hundred percent with my decision. I can can do a liquid diet for 2 weeks and soft foods because I will have to do this for myself to keep on the okay train. lol... I have no problem with that.. I am constantly battling different diets and it gets dicouraging that ur told that you have to work 10 times harder to lose weight. I have been there also but then I get bored and thats when the fat builds. I never feel full. Like i said before I can eat myself to death or feel hunger a step away. So if its a pill I can take to not make me hungry all the time to triing to shrink my stomach just by training myself, its a constant battle for me. And the AD were a crutch for me. I want to walk feeling good without the help of a pill that i may forget or double dose on ( done that several times)... So in my mind I will have no iffys about getting back on a pill that help me be more than lazy. Just wasnt my cup of tea. I would reather run than feel like I was swimming. If I am jumping around too much in this blog I just brain storming. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and plz dont judge me too harshly!!!Love ya!!! MUAH!!!
