Can you believe we are just three weeks from Thanksgiving and about 6 1/2 weeks from Christmas??? This year has gone by so fast! I must confess....I ate Halloween candy....there, I said it! I can tell the holidays are going to be a huge challenge for me this year. It doesn't help that for the past four weeks I haven't been able to walk because I have a stress fracture in my foot....not good!!! I am going to attempt to get at least a short walk in starting next week, it is better, so maybe I'll be able to do a short one.
Last night I went to the weight loss seminar with Keith, and had the opportunity to get up and share my story of my weight loss. Keith is considering having surgery, and the good thing for him is that he can get the Sleeve procedure, which is better than my roux-en-y bypass. It was kind of good for me to sit in on the seminar again, it helped remind me of the committment I have made to obey the rules of the bypass, and reminded me of the respect I should have for my new stomach. A good reminder to have with the holidays coming up! I can't believe I actually admitted in front of Dr. Weiss that I had been eating Halloween candy, but I did. Then I had the chance to share that although I had eaten candy, I still wasn't able to eat the amount of candy I could have (and did) two years ago. I think it's important for those who are thinking about having surgery that they WILL still be tempted and it won't be easy every day to make the right choices....however, the good thing about my bypass is that, I still have this tool to help me jump back on the wagon when I fall off.
