A diary seems to be a sensible idea...it may help to keep me honest on this latest dieting effort.
I need to have surgery, and I need to have surgery ASAP. My surgeon won't operate until I have lost a minimum of 100lbs, and thus placed myself in a safer place for a General Anaethstic. I have tried to lose weight the conventional way for the last 12 months, to absolutely no avail. Both my surgeon and my dietician have said that if I don't show any positive signs of progress on losing the weight required by my next appointment with them (I see both on 15th march) then they will dump me, and I have to go through the whole referral system again.
I'm 36 yrs old and hubby and I desperately want to start a family...but until I've had this surgery, and thus able to change my current medication, we're simply not allowed. So I really don't want to go through the referral system again...if I can even show them I have lost a stone or most of one by the middle of March, then my surgeon and my dietician will keep me on.
And so I turned to Xenical...ouch, that's an expensive prescription to fill...fortunately I have joined the Drugs Prescription Scheme here in Ireland so the max I pay on all my prescriptions per month is €120...but as I'm unemployed and not on benefits, that is still a huge chunk of money to find each month, this had better work!!
I plan to use this diary thread to post food dairies as and when I remember, food queries or suggestions when I get stuck, general thoughts on my journey as when I think they might be interesting..and probably more often than not very un-interesting & boring thoughts, theories & ideas too...
