I'm Still Here...

I haven't posted in awhile so I figured I'd post to share my progress.

Since my last post I have stopped drinking soda altogether! I have been soda free since January! I'm proud I stuck to one of my New Years Resolutions. My weight is still up & down & I still slip up & eat crap. Well to be honest lately I've been eating a lot of crap. After my last visit with my surgeon I got discouraged & just sorta slipped into a depression. My dietitian was telling me I only had about 20lbs to lose before I could get approved for surgery but then once I saw the surgeon he said it was still 40lbs. Not to sound like a child but to me that's not fair. I originally started with my weight loss journey back in 2012 at a different hospital with a different surgeon but they were affiliated with my current doctor & hospital so it wasn't an issue when I switched over. My original surgeon retired so I was given my current one. I was seeing him at the first hospital but he was only there 1 day a week & it was like waiting for Jesus himself trying to get an appointment so I decided to make an appointment with him at my current hospital which is also closer to my house so it was a win/win. Now all of my records & testing transferred over with no issue except my weight loss. This new surgeon wanted my progress to start all over. It's no my fault my old surgeon retired. I mean I understand that it was his time but the new surgeon should put into account that I was making progress & maybe cut his 40lbs in half so it's back to my original number. I see people WAY bigger than me with TONS of health issues getting surgery yet I can't. I don't have diabetes, high blood pressure, or anything like that. Sorry for saying it again but it's just not fair! I just want to get my surgery so I can move on with the rest of my life & BE HEALTHY!

Sorry for rambling on but I just needed to vent. Honestly I don't even know who I'm apologizing to because I don't know who's even gonna read this. Until next time...
