Eating habits and stuff...

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. Life has just happened. I've had several more tests since my sleep study but don't have the results of those yet.  I will keep everyone posted as to what the Dr says about those.

A few weeks ago we watched a documentary called "Forks over Knifes" which led us to watching "Food, Inc." and then we watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." All three of these were very interesting. What we took from these is that our eating habits are what cause us to be sick, fat, lethargic and so forth. So after watching these, Marty and I decided we were gonna change the way we ate. We cut out all meats, dairy, sugar and most caffeine. We have eaten meat twice since we stopped almost 4 weeks ago. It is amazing the way I feel after changing. We eat mostly vegan, but will occasionally stray to Vegetarian.

I have lost almost 15 lbs since doing this, and I think most of it is the the cokes I cut out. I plan to continue to eat this way even after I have my surgery. The whole point of my surgery is for me to be healthy, and this new way of healthy eating is only going to help me in the long run. I love that my husband is doing it with me because I know he is getting healthier too. He has lost almost 20 lbs since we started.  I guess that's it for now.. I will update again soon. Thanks for reading!
