Surgery
After much soul-searching and four years of extensive, exhaustive research, I've decided to go ahead with the gastric bypass surgery. I've talked to dozens of people who've had it, only a few of whom wish they hadn't.
Because of this, sticking to a sugar-free, low-to-moderate fat intake diet will be more important than ever, post-op. So I'm taking a little bit of a break from writing my food journal and posting here, so I can concentrate on getting all my surgical ducks in a row and my life in order. After that, I'll be here lots, bugging everyone (especially everyone here who eats low fat) about what they eat and how they fix it. Sugar and fat can be very unpleasant for someone who's had the surgery.
I can say after everything I've learned that this path is not for everyone, but I think it's right for me, and I'm counting on you guys for support. It's not a decision made lightly, but it has been made. As such, I'd be grateful that if you don't have anything supportive, non-judgemental or kind to say, you kept it to yourself. I guarantee you -- if you've got one horror story, I've got five more, so you can't shock or frighten me anymore than I've already been shocked or frightened.
Thanks, guys. I'll keep you posted.
