2 More Days!

Well here it is... My very 1st blog ever! Over the last 10 months I have been obsessed with reading blogs and watching the YouTube videos of other's as they go through their gastric bypass journey's. I have been looking forward to the day when I could make my own video and have my own before and after photos. Finally the day is almost here for me! I am having a gastric bypass on June 5, 2013. I am both excited and scared. The surgery in itself is not what bothers me, I work in surgery and see wonderful outcomes every day... what I am afraid of most is my LOVE for chocolate. I have done very well on my 2 week pre op liquid diet, I have lost 17 lbs, and have been working very hard mentally to keep myself from having one last reese's peanut butter cup! It's funny all of this time I've been thinking I would be fine, because I'm not a BIG eater. What I am finding out though is that I am and have always been overweight because I'm a BAD eater. I had a chocolate addiction. All that I can do at this point is keep marching forward and hope that I am one of those that gets dumping syndrome!

Same for me with eating LITTLE but BAD! I don't really eat often but everything I love is bad for me: Bread, Doritos, Taco Bell, Mexican, ANY Fried FOOD. I've been a vegetarian for 15 months and I still eat unhealthy foods. Ugh!

Well RNY will definitely nip that chocolate habit in the bud.

I'm like that too. Not an overeater, but a bad eater. Pepsi and fried foods is what put the weight on me. I'm not a big sweet eater. Fried chicken, fries and a pepsi - I can eat everyday!!!!!
