Rethinking everything

Sep 25, 2011

Ok, so I spent the vast majority of this past week cheating on my pre-op diet.  I still managed to lose 1 pound but I learned something about myself - I eat without thinking.  My daughter kept catching me eating things not on the diet and that's when I would remember I was supposed to be on a special diet.  That is also good news because I think that if I can keep this up long enough, it will become habit and I will eat RIGHT without thinking.  I don't even mind the pre-op diet, that wasn't the problem.  So, I am determined to get back on track.

Rethinking the whole surgery thing.  Was going to have the band but I've read about too many problems people are having. Then I thought I wanted the VSG but I realized that if I could just stick with it, be more diligent with my desired eating plan.  I have 4 kids, 2 are clueless, 1 is all for it and the 4th thinks I shouldn't get the surgery.  I know it boils down to what I want but sometimes those closest to you know you better than you do. So I ask their opinion on major stuff.

The decision may be taken out of my hands anyway.  My insurance will be canceled the end of September and I still have not heard from the coordinator about a surgery date.  I sure can't afford this without insurance.  I could extend the insurance another month for fifteen hundred dollars but should I if I am rethinking everything?  I will have insurance again some day when/if I find a job.
