WLS 9
I was reading the main page and wrote the following post there and wanted to post it here and elaborate some on it, feel free to email me regarding it or not...up to you
But on the other hand, while I haven't totally given up the sweets, my first step was to give up my diet coke/pepsi (i didn't care which brand as long as it was on sale and diet) but when I saw the Dr in May I was drinking anywhere from 6 to 8 soda's aday, but I have cut soda's out completely since then and only drink sf kool-aid and ice cold water (really hard for me to drink warm water) LOL I even take the 'to go'pouchs with me to the movies to pour into my bottle water.
One thing I can say is that I have REALLY cut back on my 'sweet/junk) in take has gone down. And in due time they will be all gone.
Well I'm done for today, have a good one.
mini update - I made a tiny url for my page here and wanted to post it somewhere that I could 'save' it so I'm putting here so I can find it when I want to give it to a friend or family member. http://tinyurl.com/c66xg

I guess I've been pretty lucky, the only negative I've had is my skinny boss (who has put on some weight since she started at my work in Jan).Now I know that even looking at 'sweets' or things we are supposed to be cutting out are things I shouldn't be thinking about and some will flame me and say that I'm not ready for surgery etc. but how does anyone online know what total frame of mind someone else is who they don't truly know? I know that after surgery even getting a taste of something I shouldn't have MAY cause dumping.
I had talked to my mom who was an LVN and Insurance Case Manager (before she had 2 strokes) about 2 years ago about surgery and earlier this year it was she who brought it up to me...in fact she said that she was very concerned about my heath and I either needed to loose weight thru diet or have surgery (i know that i have to 'diet' per se after surgery but you know what i mean)
Both of my parents are supportive, my sister, my 15 yr old neice, and all co-workers (even the boss came around) have been very supportive. My Dr requires pre-surgery weight loss and everyone is supportive of me asking me how much i've lost etc....the only thing that does bother me is if I even LOOK towards something i shouldn't eat one person says 'you CAN'T have that" grrrr I know they are being supportive but GRRRR it's my choice you know....and most the time I'm just looking...not actually going to eat it.
