Hi, I'm Judi R.
I am an "oldie", having surgery in my early 60 "s. I am mother of two and grandmother of one. I am a retired mental health counselor. I want to be healthy enough to enjoy watching my granddaughter grow up.
I am just beginning the process to a RNY. I saw a surgeon just last week. I am looking forward to finding support from all who have gone before me. My surgeon wants me to see a nutritionist for several months to "learn" how to eat three meals and three snacks a day. Quite discouraging, but I will try hard to continue being a good candidate for surgery as my surgeon said I am.
I love to read and knit and cats. Really a rather boring person I guess!
I have been overweight my whole life and I've tried every diet out there, loosing various amounts of weight but always gaining it back and more. In the last ten years I have gained steadily while exercising less until I am now a real couch slob. Now it has become a downward spiral and I've become almost a hermit eating and gaining and all the while feeling worse about myself. The possibility of having surgery and making a real difference in my weight and life style seems like I have a new chance for a more meaningful and healthier rest of my life.
