Today's "Five Questions"!

Nothing that I will really miss, I can buy more just smaller sizes and look better I hope. Be persistent. and do not look back That I am really doing this for me. No one else. Talking to my girlfriend about wipeing my butt. I do not want her to do it. I do not really have anything sentimental.

1) Are there any particular outfits/clothes that you're going to miss? Oh puhleeze! There is absolutely nothing I will miss. I'm so fat now I don't even have a style. My style is "Lane Bryant...whatever will fit and is on clearance..." 2) What would your mantra/motto/statement be that captures you and your WLS journey (so far AND in the future)? Death will come early if I DON'T have this surgery. The chances of that are pretty much 100%. Weigh that against the risk I will die from this surgery (0.5%) and you now know why I'm doing this. 3) What is the most surprising thing you've found out about yourself during your journey so far? That I'm willing to tell my weight to anyone. There was a time where not even the doctor could get it out of me. 4) What is the FUNNIEST thing that's happened to you so far? This board! 5) Are you taking anything "sentimental" or a "good luck" thing to the hospital with you? If so, what is it? Hmmmm - hadn't gotten that far. I pack at the last minute, so I'll likely forget anything like that. I am actually going to switch out my wedding ring for a cheapo though - just on the off chance it gets lost or stolen. Dina

) Are there any particular outfits/clothes that you're going to miss? NOPE, none of them. 2) What would your mantra/motto/statement be that captures you and your WLS journey (so far AND in the future)? IF GOD LEADS YOU TO IT, HE WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH IT. 3) What is the most surprising thing you've found out about yourself during your journey so far? My Faith in God. 4) What is the FUNNIEST thing that's happened to you so far? WEll, just the other day I sat down at my desk and split my britches...a sure sign that I need WLS. 5) Are you taking anything "sentimental" or a "good luck" thing to the hospital with you? If so, what is it? My husband and My celtic cross. MJ

Yea!!!!! Joy helped me to find this!!! I love this game. Anything I'm going to miss?? Not really. I don't shop for myself much so I'm looking forward to shopping for ME and not the kids. I have a couple a capri outfits that I get a lot of complements, but I think there are better things out there than that. My mantra -- I'm always saying it to myself and others who are in this -- Think Positive!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most surprising thing that I have found out about myself is that I would even do this. I never even considered this until January -- then all of a sudden it was no holds barred!!!!! I started this ball rolling and there has been nothing in the way to stop me yet (of course I still have to go to that psych eval Tuesday ) I can't really think of anything funny happening (other than the stuff we post here -- that is just too much -- I think I'll have to start wearing depends when I sit down to my computer ) Sentimetal -- Pictures of my kids and the Prayer Bear that the hospital gave me when we lost Reece -- I want to see my babies faces before I go for the big snooze. My wedding ring will go back on my finger as soon as my little eyes open (in ten years I can't think of a time when it was off for any amount of time other than to clean it -- I'm lost without it) Whitney

1. You mean am I going to miss going into the "Women's" section of the department store only to find that my size is one of the biggest that they carry. "I doubt it." 2. I might need some help developing a moto for myself. I'll have to think about it. 3. I am surprised to find out that I really am looking forward to feeling sexy. I did not think it mattered so much to me but it really does. 4. The funniest thing has bee listening to all of the MArch nuts. Thanks 5. I hadn't thought about doing that.
