After my 1st meeting with the nutritionist and she told me all the things I couldn't do-Everything was focused on " No more BREAD!" I'm like the Forest Gump of Bread! Yeast bread, French Bread, Bread Pudding, Bagels, Stuffing.

Everything she said I couldn't have is everything I love. Even all the fruits and vegetables I like she said I couldn't have. I got up and said No Thank You Lady!

Luckily I have a great Dr. and his assistant that called me the same day and everyday for 2 weeks and talked me through it!
I now have a new positive nutritionist When I went to the psych, she said I have an eating disorder and needed a year of counseling before I get surgery! WTF! No sh*t doc! I not getting a lap band because I don't have an eating problem!
Then again my Drs crew talked me through it and I went to see another Psych.
Has any one else had to go through this much crap?!

Lets see? the other foods I'll miss the most- Pizza will be the hardest to give up.When my husband and I go out to dinner it's always Chinese or Seafood buffets. We eat pasta 3 times a week and fried chicken and steaks. My favorite part of a meal is dessert! I love love chewy candy like caramels and swedish fish.

I have Diabetes. Right now I'm just on pills. I put a picture of my mom on the wall to remind me why I need to do this. I watched her lose a toe to diabetes. her blood wouldn't clot so a week later she lost her foot. That didn't clot, so 2 weeks later she lost her leg above the knee. After all that, 6 months later she had a diabetic stroke and was in a coma for 10 days before she died. So I want to do this for me so I don't go through what my mom did.

So I have a choice do I want to give up a leg to eat bread? or get healthy. I'm gonna do it.

This web site is the best thing to help me get through all this. I d other people just like me and some worse. and after seeing their accomplishments, I know I can do it. BTW The Dr.s Assistants have all been banded!

I've slowly given up soda and coffee and started drinking protein shakes for breakfast. I'm getting psyched, but still cheating.
Thanks for letting me vent!
