After 25 years of yo yo dieting I have decided I cant lose it and gain it back anymore. I have decided to go to Dr. Ortiz in TJ and my surgery date is Dec 18, 2006. I think my strongest emotions now are excitement and shame. It will be a long journey, but this seems like a great place to record it.
Thank you to fellow members who have posted about your experience, it made my decision a lot easier. I felt like I was the only person in Canada who was going to go to Mexico to have this done!
Today is dec 1. Day 2 of watching what I eat. I have PMS, cramps and a headache. Not to mention I am quite hungry. I will try more water today to see if I am less hungry. I opened a bag of cookies last night and smelled them....didn't eat one! I put them in my son's room and I am sure he will take care of that temptation for me. I just have to go well for one day and that is today.
Booked and deposit paid, flights paid. I am committed now!
I need to start dieting soon (for real) to prepare for the surgery. Need to get my head around the fact that I can't cheat. It will all be good.
