I have a consultation on the 21st to discuss WLS. I wish it hadn’t come to this, but the bottom line is, I feel like my back is against the wall, and my options are pretty limited. I have tried various different weight loss programs, as well as products similar to Anoretix, some over the counter, some doctor prescribed. Some attempts have been successful for a while, and others have not. My thought is, something is “broke” inside that keeps me from giving it my all and making it work. Losing weight is not like stop smoking. If you never smoke another cigarette, you won’t die. But. You have to eat. Its just a matter of what you eat, and how much. When I look at various different plans, I get overwhelmed to what all you need to do. I also seem to be on the picky side. That is a lifelong character trait. I have a paper that my mom saved from my kindergarden teacher. I was a great kid, played well with others, listen, did my work. But. I. Was. A. Picky. Eater. Its right there. On paper. Documented 45 years ago, and that hasn’t changed a whole lot since then.

I don’t know. I will go to my consulation. We will talk. And we will formulate a plan, whether it involves surgery or not. Maybe coordinating with a nutrionist is what I need — to take what I WILL eat, and put it in a constructive nutritious balanced format that would be workable for me. I don’t know. But, I am taking the step forward to at least go and talk to the surgeons and see what we need to do.
