If it makes you feel any better, your doctor's name, Machado, is Portuguese, as is my Michelle. There is nothing like having a Portugee in your corner!  |
I'm not sorry to have it reversed... mostly scared sh*tless that I will end up worse!
I've learned a lot about food and my emotional attachment to it, what good eating looks like and also control. One thing the doc did say was that while the malabsorbtion will be gone the restricted eating will still be in place.... the way they reattach I will still have a small pouch at the end of the esphogus that empties into the larger stomach... so I will get full quickly and I just need to continue practiing restrain between meals.
Plus I'm hoping with my nutrition gettting better and havign more energy I'll be able to finally excersize more. That alone will keep me thin.
My daughter cried last night... said she is going to help me stay thin. She doesn't want me to get fat again or be unhealthy so she is going to support me by keeping me focused on the good eating habits I've developed and she uses as well now. We have been bike riding together and joined the gym this week... I'm also going to stop grazing now. I've been doing it for weeks to stop the wieght loss but it's time to go back to pouch rules and get in practice for having a larger belly.
In your prayers please pray for peace and acceptance for me.... I'm scared and I won't go forward until I'm comfortable that I'm makingthe right decison
