As of right now my whole family knows that I am having rny(gastric bypass)in the next month or so. A few people are concerned that I may be doing the wrong thing and have voiced their opinions. Now I realize people are afraid that I could die from the surgery or even regret it. Well listen up, I am ready to make a change. My children need a parent to raise them. If I don't fix my issues than we are taking a chance of them having no parents. My husband is well over 300lbs, and as much as he would like to do the surgery too we can't afford for him to be out of work for 6 weeks.
My aunt,grandmother, and mom said to me the other day, Sheri you are looking good. I can tell you are losing weight on your own. They don't get it that the moment I stop or eat one thing to much I put weight right back on. My aunt says," Sheri don't do the surgery just put down the donuts!" Is that what they think I do? That if it was as simple as not eating a donut I would be 120 lbs. I am morbidly obese, and I need help. Yep, I said it I need someone to open me up and change things around to I can gain a level of control that I don't have right now.
If I knew how to eat like a thin person I would, that is waht the surgery will teach me. How to eat like a normal person. So for now I will be not eating donuts and still moving forward with the procedure.

As a morbidly obese person myself...I can't agree with you more...if all it would take would be to just "stop" eating a particular thing, or "only occassionally" eat something else....well then I wouldn'e be overweight. I have an eating disorder! For me, this means that I eat when I'm really high...and when I'm really low. Eating makes me FEEL better. It (albeit temporarily) fills a hole in my emotions.
Anyway, I support you 100%. I'll be praying for you!
Thanks Nancy for following my blog. I appreciate the prayers. I have family that God bless them mean well, but none of them really had the issues with weight that I have had over the years. But as an adult I am ready to shed this coat of shame or pounds and be what I want to be not the weight determining what I can be.
My brother told me I just should have walked more...ass
