Default End of the road for now....to be continued

I have been so busy trying to get all my paperwork together for sugery, and with work. Which was total waste of time because I have to have all the things done with in the same 6 months. That, I don’t have. So for now this is the end of the road for me. I will need to start from scratch. I am really going to try to lose the weight on my own in the process. Losing weight is something I have NEVER been able to do. Most people have lost and gained it again, but me noooooo I have never been able to lose it at all. So I will document everything, and keep up with my doc appt. But I cant afford to go to the Doc, got to a nutritionist, and go to see a therapist all at the same time, that would be $90 a week. They are high! So i am doing what i can for now, just incase the insurace changes down the road. So by Saturday afternoon I am going to make up my mind on what Eating plan I am going to change my lifestyle to, and stick to it. I started walking yesterday. I actually enjoyed it. My back hurt a little while walking, but I did it for 20 minutes. I figure it is a start. I know it did give me a ton of energy, and i did feel less stressed out. My heel on my right foot hurts this morning, but I am going to keep walking anyway. I am going to this place after work call the Metabolic Research Center, just to see what they do. I know they will want money, but I figure I’ll give it a listen at least. I have heard they teach you how to eat, and what to eat. Which is something I need right now, as I have no clue anymore. If I don’t go to them I am thinking of the South Beach eating plan. So we will see. I hope that i can still pop in to chat with you guys every now and then. I feel like i have met some WONDERFUL people here, and dont want to stop communication, however i know this is a sight for people who are in the proccess of getting or have had the surgery.
Hopefully i will see you in 6 months, and be ready to get the WLS.
YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!!!
