Goodbye my friends

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

It is time for me to unsub completely including " web only " . I have

gradually " weaned " myself from this wonderful group. I am not saying

I will not be back but The following are reasons I need to leave.

Please no flames as I will not be here to burn. If anyone wants to

write me now or in the future please do so. I would love to hear from

you.

1. I am on a " diet " yikes ...swear word in here.

Just started a modified protein fast.....Protein supplements

developed in Scandanavia(thus the SCAN for the name) you get to eat

veggies and fruit also. Too funny my weight was off the chart that is

in the package.It is soy.....I feel vegetarian is the way to go for

now. I am being sure to address my anemia needs also.

2.I am doing intense workout with a trainer and taking aerobic

classes and walking.

3. I am giving myself 6 months to see where I am if I am doing

well ..I will reassess in 6 more months to see how I am doing.

I want to give it " one more shot " before WLS.......Because of the

following obstacles

A. Insurance changing and exclusion for obesity although I feel

strongly this can be overcome...I am looking for a new job with

benefits...I will go from there.

B. Anemia -denied for surgery now

1. Anemia due to unknown cause in my opinion so until I get to

the bottom of that I dont want to do anything that could make it

worse.

2. I have a GYN eval next week and I think I may need some GYN

surgery...to correct the anemia hopefully. Also will have my lab work

checked then.

4.HONESTLY now.....I have felt there have been too many obstacles and

GOd is showing me another way..........'s death......Yes It

HAS made me think not twice but a thousand times about NOT having the

surgery...that there may be another way for me. I am not that bad...I

still have friends that tell me I am notTHAT fat..some even say I am

NOT fat.....(ROFLMAO PIMP To

that one)///yeah right 260 on a 5'2 " frame..come on... BUT.......I

think this............at the current physical

state I am in........I will live to see my kids get through high

school at least.......(Unless God has another plan)

Yes I would probably increase my lifespan to have the surgery BUT I

also do Not want to leave my kids without a mother. I dont have a

sister Like Fanney or anyone that could do the job. Yes there are

those that would do the job.....but my husband travels,,,,,his

parents are too old to handle them more than one day now.....and they

are they ONLY ones I would want to raise them.I have them so spoiled

no one would take my kids everynight of the week to the icerink(5- 6

lessons + total)70 hockey games,dance studio,gymnastics,soccer,t

ball,and I work out of my home so it would be such a MAJOR upheaval

without fat ole me hangin in here day to day.

Bye my friends this is MY decision everyone has to make their own.

I of course am permitted to change my mind.I love you guys and

support everyone in their decision to have the surgery and will

continue to do so. I think Dr R is wonderful!!! I am a nurse and I do

not say that lightly. He is am amazing man.

So are the 600+ sisters and brothers on this list.
