So, Monday, October 6th I had an appointment with a Gastroenterologist. Something I had been putting off for way too long. I will have a colonoscopy on October 20th. It has to be at least 10 days from yesterday because I have an infection they have to clear up before they scope.
Here's where it gets depressing for me...I cannot stick to my Weight Watchers regimine (I don't call it a diet)...because it is a High Fiber Nutrition Plan and that can cause a problem with my infection that noone would want to happen....What does this mean? In the doctors words she wants me to have a Junk Food diet for 2 weeks. This is when I lost it. I looked at her and said there was no way I was going to do that. I instantly started thinking about real "Junk Food". What she really meant to say was I don't want you to eat anything with High Fiber. How does one assume that a Low Fiber diet = "Junk Food" is besides me. When I think of Junk Food I think of drive thrus at least 2 times a day and that just scared the bajeebies out of me.
So once I got past the Junk Food comment I realized that I can probably maintain my weight for the next 2 weeks but there probably won't be a major loss like the past few weeks. I can still follow the Satisfaction guideline so that I don't overeat, I can still have vegetables they just have to be cooked so they are soft, the weirdest thing is I have to eat white bread...I didn't even eat white bread before I went on Weight Watchers...
This too shall pass and I can overcome all things through the power of GOD.
Please pray for my body to heal.
Thank you,
Chrissy

Boo. This will pass...and you'll come from it realizing you can do ANYTHING. I'm so proud of you and love reading up on how well you're doing :)
Yes, this too will pass. You have done so awesome on WW - I have no doubt that you will maintain, maybe even lose a couple of pounds, while healing your body. I am so proud of you. Love, Ro
I almost cried when Mom told me about this. I just imagine how you must've felt. So glad you are having a positive attitude, b/c like you said the Weight Watchers is not a diet. It's a lifestyle. So 2 weeks won't postpone the rest of your weight loss after those 2 weeks and the new lessons you've learned about food. Hang in there! Love you!!
