So I got the ball rolling. I talked to a nutritionist, who seems to think that the bad is a good idea, knows how to get me through the approval process and is willing to work with me. :tt1: Told me to increase my protein intake, get more sleep, and basically cut out carbs. Oh and I am supposed to be writing this all down! I forgot for about a week, don’t know if I should pencil whip it or fess up. I had a few days in there that she would not like to read anyway. I have a few weeks in there she is not going to like my sleep pattern either!

Ok SO, my Dr was reluctant at best to send me to a bariatric surgeon. I still have not gotten the referral, because the Dr office hasn’t heard back from the surgeons office, :sneaky:or so I am told. I have my second nutritionist appointment tomorrow and would like to update her on where we stand on getting me in. After all she is not going to be pleased in my lack of paperwork, sigh. I feel like I am failing, I thought that my family would be supportive, and verbally they say they are, but when my mom makes me my favorite dish, or says she is too tired to cook we should just eat out, or makes me a dish of ice cream with cho sauce instead of sherbert. When she decides to lecture me on my going to the gym instead of sleeping; I would say there is no support there. I go out and buy skim milk, the family complains, but drinks all my milk leaving me with 2%, or whole. I buy fruits and lettuce for me and its eaten or just sitting out to go bad. That’s not supporting me. Stressing me out to the max isn’t either. Buying me a 2lb box of chocolates for Easter,:tt1: then this morning getting mad at me for taking it to work and leaving it for the associates, that was the tops there.

Part of me wants to give in because I feel like whats the use.:thumbup: But part of me wants desperately to get healthy! I just need my family on board!:smile:
