Topic: RE: I'm Getting Anxious
Hey Jenn, We will all do great!!! 2009...its my (our) Time!!!We are allowing our bodies to be changed surgically. This is drastic!! But necessary! If we could do this any other way I am sure we all would. So now we have an answer that if we do as we are told will work. I have been fat all my life! My obesity has impacted every thing and everyone in my life. Most of it has been negative. I am tired....How about you. I envy you young girls and I applaud you. I tried 20 years ago but the technology just wasn't there yet. I am grateful that I have lived and get a second chance. Am I scared? You better know it~! 20 years ago i was jus fat and wanted to be thin. Now i got some thangs that have hitched a ride along the way. You all may know them...hypertension...pre-diabetic-sleep apnea...raging joint pain...edema....you get the picture.But know this.......courage is action in the face of fear! How bad do we want it? "It" is whatever you feel will be different after you have sucessfully lost this cumbersome weight. For me it is finally looking in a mirror and smiling because I like what I see back, Its walking about a half a block without sounding like I smoke 10 packs a day, not having to cringe when a waitress takes us to a booth instead of a table, wondering when that diabetic curse in my family is gonna rear its ugly head and maybe finally having a relationship with a man and knowing HE is the "lucky one". Soooooooooo all my january leaders lets show OH how its done!!!
Peace and prayers for all of us BECAUSE...SAY IT WITH ME
2009......Its My Time!
Love mz JoJo

Topic: RE: Last Dinner???
I am scheduled for surgery on January 15th. I plan on indulging in 5 of my favorite food between New Years Eve and New Years Day -- Steak, calamari, crab cakes, pistachios, hot buttered movie popcorn.
After that I will begin my pre-surgery eating. At first I thought I would miss all this stuff but actually I am relieved.

Hi!! I live in Miami Gardens, FL but don't have a surgery date yet. 
"All of us experience change in our lives. Change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward too and change that we fear. However, one thing is for sure. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents. "

Topic: 8 days to go, I am getting excited and nervous all at once
Well, its almost here..JAN 7.. I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. I was not given any special diet except for the day before and just wondering should I or shouldn't I, I was doing slim fast but it seems to be bothering my stomach.. I was told that I have a fatty liver and I am just praying that my surgery doesn't have to go to an open procedure due to my liver. I guess everything is going thru my head. My job is giving me grief about being out, they want me back in 10 days. I really need to just chill, but can't seem to do it. I am trying to do all the fun stuff right now with my kids because I guess afterwards I might not feel that great for a few weeks(maybe). I am trying to figure out what to bring with me to the hospital. We live about 1 1/2 hrs from the hospital so I have told my husband to be there the day of surgery and then just to come to pick me up. So I want to make sure I have what I need while I am there. I guess I am just rambling on...I just can't believe my surgery is so close. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated
