Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hi! My name is Rhonda and I'm in the foothills of Northern California. I have just joined your group. My Mother has interested me in raw/living foods. I am morbidly obese, and was in the process of getting insurance approval for gastric bypass surgery. I don't feel I can go through with it, and let the doctors reroute my insides. I have tried so many " diets " , but either can't lose, or feel so miserable that I gain the weight back and more! After spending a weekend with my mom, and picking up a second hand Norwalk Juicer, I decided to try Dr. Walker's juicing program instead. I have several of his books. I learned to make a few juices. I decided to include a lot of raw vegees/fruit as well. Unfortunately, my Mom lives to far away, and I lasted less than 2 days both times I tried. I feel like I need support to make this lifestyle change, so I searched for an online group for that support. I know I don't want to have weight loss surgery, but with my health/back problems, I need to get the weight down. This is my last chance to lose the weight without surgery. More importantly, to regain my health and energy. I don't expect miracles; I know I will need patience, endurance, and the ability to forgive myself for " slips " and get right back to " the program " . I welcome advise/recommendations on how to get started. And I would LOVE to hear from some who have had success battling obesity with raw foods.
