HELP

I AM SCHEDULED FOR 9/11. I STILL HAVE NOT QUIT SMOKING AND I NEED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY. I AM DESPERATELY AFRAID DR. HAMAD WILL CANCEL MY SURGERY.

HELLO JO ANN, LISTEN GAL, IT'S TIME TO QUIT! I QUIT 5 YRS. AGO COLD TURKEY AFTER OVER 30 YRS. OF SMOKING, AND WASTING MY LIFE ON THOSE LOUSY THINGS!! YOU CAN DO IT, YOU REALLY CAN, YOU HAVE IT JUST INSIDE OF YOU! YOU WILL BE GETTING A NEW LEASE ON LIFE WITH THE SURGERY, SO START YOUR JOURNEY BY QUITTING SMOKING TO GET THROUGH THE SURGERY WITH EASE. THE POUNDS YOU HAVE TO LOSE, WELL GET ON A GOOD PROTEIN SUCH AS PRO-COMPLEX, AND DRINK - DRINK- DRINK! ALSO, LOTS OF WATER, AND GET SOME GOOD WALKING IN EACH DAY! YOU CAN DO IT JO ANN, THIS IS WORTH IT! MANY OF US WERE WHERE YOU ARE AT SOME POINT, YOU ARE STRONG, SO DIG DEEP WITHIN AND PULL THAT STRENGTH OUT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE! GOD BLESS YOU

I too have to quit smoking and lose some weight or be cancelled. My date is September 18. But hey, we have 2 mths. We have to be strong and we can do it. I am here if you need to talk. Just email me. Susan
