Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I was approved for surgery approx three years ago, but was told that I needed to lose 10% prior to surgery. I never did lose the weight, in fact, I have since put on another 50 lbs, (if you can believe!?). I am so heavy now that I am unable to walk long distances, (no more than just a few hundred yards). I cannot shop at a grocery store without a scooter/cart, and am certainly unable to take my 4 y/o to a park, movies, etc. (I won't even go into the co-morbidities that I have, i.e severe sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) I so very much want to lose the weight, primarily so that I can be more mobile for my son and give him the kind of childhood he should have. But I am so very frustated with myself... How do I get back on track? Can I get back on track? I would need to lose about 100 lbs before approval of the surgery, and yet I feel as if this is impossible to do. I don't know how to begin; I've forgotten how to begin, it has been so long. (What sort of eating plan did some of you follow to lose the 10%?) Is there anyone out there who has gone through a similar experience? If so, I sure could use a few, (or alot of) words of encouragement. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
