Ive Fallin And Cant Get Up



Recommended Posts

My cousin (not really cousins but long story she has NO family) whom I was practically raised with lost her 41 yr old healthy husband Sunday to a massive heart attack. She has been one of the few who stuck by me when I lost my fiancée several years ago. We both have a lot in common and this was the one thing I never thought we'd have in common. I'm so heartbroken for her. I'm leaving Saturday to go spend 4 weeks with her. Furthermore, one thing of many that keeps going through my mind is that all these years my husband and I have been so unhealthy and look how soon even the healthy can go. Although, these past few days, I have eaten nothing but garbage whether it makes me puk or not and most of it does. If much rather be resorting to the gym during this time but my dang feet are taped up and I'm supposed to be staying off them until I see the dr Friday. What I'm saying is, why am I resorting back to food? Yes I'm going through a lot, but why this is torture! I'm so disappointed in myself that I don't want to eat and then I found Reese's prices in my purse from the movie I took my daughter to and of course I had to have some! Errrrr

Those are your old ways of comforting yourself when feeling sad, bored, angry, devastated. It is the only way you took control of your life was with food that was comforting. Here's the news, you can choose to do something different. Instead of put that piece of candy in your mouth, call a friend, clean the house, knit, etc. Clean your house to where all those comfort foods are gone. And then give yourself a big hug and start detoxing your body from all that crazy sugar. You can do this. Perhaps now is the time to seek counseling. You have a significant loss coming up too which also contributes to resorting back to those comfort foods. This is part of our journey in changing our life styles. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
