I was told not to gain more weight or else my insurance would not pay for the surgery, but since I'm on SSI, I can't always afford to eat healthy. I quit tortillas, breads, rice, carbonated drinks, biscuits and I eat more rotisserie chicken, tilapia, salads, shrimp...but only when I can afford it, otherwise i have to eat whatever I have like potatoes, pinto beans, eggs, sausage, bacon, the normal. I'm very limited on my income. This sometimes seems overwhelming for me, I can't exercise I need back surgery, both knees corrected and I feel at times like I gain weight rather than lose it because i dont have any physical activity. I don't want them to deny me because I really need this help. I'm a divorced 60 year old woman with limited income and Im hard on myself at times and I end up crying more than anything out of fear to be denied this help I desperately need.
