Hi
I am waiting to be brought to the bariatric team right now. I hope to have surgery at the end of July or beginning of August. It is frustrating with all the hold ups as I only have the summer window to do this, as I am a teacher. I found Bariatric Pal just by searching and have found a wonderful source of information from everyone. I am scared about this journey, being 59 years old and having loved eating for a long time. I'm just afraid of failure and now that my kids are grown, having that support at home. Exercise is not my favorite thing right now but I'm hoping that will change. I am confused about what to eat now a month or so from surgery (God willing). I am trying to eat more protein and am using the "horse" vitamins every day. However, I am looking forward to getting better sleep and hopefully getting off blood pressure medication. I guess I'm on this to get that support from folks who do understand. My boys think I just need to back away from the table and don't eat, as I have made sure they do not have a weight problem. So here we go!
