In The Beginning

So as to date, I have seen the dietician, I have had my psych evaluation and I have gone to my pre op meeting, now I am just waiting on the doctors office to contact me to set up my next appointment and for them to schedule my surgery. I am so ready to get started on this journey. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I think failure is my biggest fear but being able to like me again will be so nice. I am tired of my joints hurting and being out of breath. I pray about this and I know that with God on my side and my family on my side, I can do this. I have a good support group but I am not sure if they are really prepared. Its going to be a change. If anyone reads this and has suggestions as far as how to prepare the family or how to get them involved more, please let me know. I want this to be a success and I also know the the only way is to follow the rules and to have a great support group.

 

till next time.

We are a family of 6...3 of which are teenagers. They enjoy their food. Me being excited about my journey has made them excited. They still eat what they like but make alot of effort to not do it in front of me. When I feel like slipping back into old habits my kids are my biggest fans and say "Mom, you can do this". I am still a mom and have to make dinner so my oldest will make the "sides" which are my trigger foods. I cook the meat because only 1 week post-op have no desire to try to choke that down. My girls will put away left overs to avoid temptation. Until I can take charge of the behavior that got me here my kids and husband cheer me on. My goal is when I can control myself I can take better control of how my family is eating. It is a work in progress. Our families love us and want us to succeed. Good Luck!

Thanks for your comments. You gave me some ideas and things to think about that I hadn't even thought about. I guess I had worried a little bit about the cooking issue for the family but I put it in the back of my mind. Figured I would cross that bridge when I got there, but now I am thinking that I should start moving somethings in that direction where my family helps me more in the kitchen BEFORE surgery. That way there is not such a drastic change since there is already going to be a lot of changes. Thank you again.
