Cruisin Lady
Last November I was devastated when I went on my first cruise and found that I was miserable from the water retention and the loss of energy. After two years of extensive research, I made a life-changing decision to have lap-band surgery. After discussing this with my doctor he suggested I join this site to prepare me for the discipline of staying on task. So here I am. A mid-life lady who is a workaholic and NEVER eats at home needing to make a lifestyle change. So I might need a little ...
Last November I was devastated when I went on my first cruise and found that I was miserable from the water retention and the loss of energy. After two years of extensive research, I made a life-changing decision to have lap-band surgery. After discussing this with my doctor he suggested I join this site to prepare me for the discipline of staying on task. So here I am. A mid-life lady who is a workaholic and NEVER eats at home needing to make a lifestyle change. So I might need a little help.
UPDATE: I am having Gastric RNY on 9/22/08.
UPDATE: 17 months post-op and I've gained back 20 pounds. Went to see my PCP Thursday and he told me that I need to refocus. I've recently changed careers and have devoted most of my time learning and changing mindsets to the new career. Now that I've been doing it a month, I need to get my mind back into the right place. I would like to lose another 30-40 pounds yet. Eating right and less often will hopefully get me started. Any support would be appreciated. Accountability is key!
UPDATE: 9/8/10 - well here it is almost two years later and I have gained another 10 pounds! I can't seem to go the other way. I am losing the battle and getting very depressed over it. Not helping the depression I'm already in over our financial situation. Hard to focus on the healthy foods when you can't even afford the vitamins! I'm really struggling now.
