Totally Buggin

Jan 20, 2014

So... I read a disturbing post here yesterday. A mother told the story of her 36 year old daughter who decided to have WLS (the sleeve I think) and died a week later. OMG, Something went wrong. Her abdomen was full of blood. I read another post here about a woman who had the sleeve done two years ago. She just went to her doctor and weighed in at 326 pounds. That is exactly how much I weigh. 

I realize there is so much to both these situations that I don't know and I should not for one second compare myself to either case. I realize there are 100 success stories for every horror story I have read during my research. But the human side of me is once again doubting my decision to move forward with this WLS. Maybe I should just buckle down and try to do this myself one more time. I don't know. Tomorrow is the first of two informational sessions I have signed up for. I am going to go... but maybe I will start trying to stick to a low carb, high protein diet starting tomorrow also. 

I went to the grocery store and bought some tuna, very lean ground turkey, steak, and I have some veggies... I am going to look for recipes tonight and see what I can do in a weeks time... I love pepsi so I will stay away from soda, candy, chips, sugary drinks, all that stuff that tastes so good but make me feel so bad. God help me, I am going to give it 100%.

Stay tuned...
