It's been a little while since I last posted and now I finally have an update, although I don't know much more now than I had pre-consult.
On the 11th I went in to talk to the doctor about getting a gastric bypass surgery to conquer my reflux, and I did learn a little. I will have to get the Roux-En-Y (the one in which they actually cut your stomach to divide it, then attach your intestine to the 2 oz pouch that is now your stomach). Because of the severity of my reflux, I can't get a band or a sleeve. The only problem is that insurance doesn't want to cover the surgery because it can be considered an "optional" or "elective" surgery since most people just get it for weight loss. However, the typical anti-reflux surgery is not a good option for me, and so I will be getting more tests to prove that I need the surgery for my reflux and hernia. I am hoping and praying that it will all work out smoothly. If it does, I can have the surgery in about 5 months!!! Now for the more fun part of this post...
I don't know how many of you have heard of the food delivery service, Hello Fresh, but it seems pretty awesome. They deliver recipes and fresh local ingredients right to your door so you can easily make a healthy, fresh meal at home. A lot of people like it because they can try new things without buying a ton of an ingredient they may not use again. You can pick how many meals you want sent and for what amount of people. I have been wanting to try it for a long time, but I didn't want to spend the average cost for something I didn't know I liked.
However, I recently started following Short Girl Fitness and since she uses Hello Fresh, she shared a link that allows you to get $40 off of your first box, making it $20! I am so excited because I can finally afford to try it and decide if I want to keep using it. It allows you to pause or cancel your subscription at any time, so I can choose to only do it when I can afford it. I am so excited! I will keep you all updated as I try the recipes (my first order gets here next week!). But for now, here's a sneak peek at what I will be trying when it gets here:
So, if any of you are interested in giving Hello Fresh a shot, I'm going to give you the same deal I did. $40 off your first box! Here is the link that will get you the discount:
If you decide to try it, let me know and tell me what you think! Enjoy and have a great day!
