Felicia,
Yes thank you. I would like anything you can stick in the box. I am petrified about my upcoming surgery and know I will be on fluids only for over 2 weeks and then pureed and fluids for another 2 weeks after that. I live in Raymore Mo 64083. Just let me know the shipping costs and I will paypal it to you tonight. Thank you SOOO much for your generousity. People out there like me truly appreciate you and praise you for your help in this huge life change.

Oh gosh don't be petrified it will be just fine!! Trust me the surgery is the cake part *grin*. Recovery can be a little rocky but I promise that in no time you will be up and losing. Be excited!! Just think before to long you will be firmly planted on the losers bench with the rest of us.
You are so very welcome. I have it all packed up and ready to go. I will get with you in the morning since I will be sending it to work with my husband to be shipped out. As soon as he weighs it and gets me a shipping price I will get with you about payment ok!!
Really don't be scared ( even though I know you will be its just the way it works ). It will all turn out just fine!!
*HUGS*

Oh Felicia, I really appreciate your uplifting words. I am so scared I have made myself sick over this. Yesterday afternoon after my pre op appointment I got a migraine complete with dizziness, vomiting, and later diarhea. (sorry if TMI). All the symptoms have continued today and I still feel a total wreck. I am so afraid I have had thoughts of cancelling the surgery on my mind, even though I was ecstatic to learn my insurance approved me the first time. I am worried about the pain, the recovery, the risk of death and complications. The adjustment of everything...not being able to lift my toddler who is such a mama's boy. I have been pouring over these message boards and sometimes they reassure me, other times they terrify me even more. I just don't know what to do. I am practically in tears. My BMI is over 50 though and I know I really need to do this. 
Love, Delana
Love, Delana Ok lil missy listen up *like my tough love voice =) or is that John Wayne?* anyways lol
Sorry I know its not funny but you have to smile because thats the only way to see through the fear right now.
You speak of your little one. What kind of Mom are you offering him right now at the weight you are? You know what scared me more before I had surgery? The thought of my now 6 year old walking into a room finding me dead and being left all alone. Cuz face it girl friend if we kept up going the way we are/were going thats what was going to happen. Sure you cant lift him for a little while but just think of what you WILL be able to do with him once you start dropping all those pounds that have been stopping you. My son is 6. He spent the first month almost afraid to touch me cuz he didn't want to hurt me but you know what he survived and now 8 weeks out we cuddle and play and have a blast together and its all forgotten. By this time next year I will be half the person I am today and it is my dire wish that he NEVER remembers the years we have wasted cuz Mommy was to fat to do that.... or this... or go there... I will NEVER EVER have to say those words again "Not now mommy is to tired, not now mommy cant go cuz she wont fit". EVER AGAIN!
Sit down and make a list ( if you haven't already ) of all the things you are just tired of doing or not doing because of your weight. Then make a list of all the things you just cant wait to do when you are thinner. I made a list and I read it over and over and over again. It helped.
Of course your scared lol. EVERYONE is ( even if they say they weren't ). But you have to put it in perspective. Less than 1% die on the table from this surgery. That is AMAZING stats. And those that do are not actually dying from the surgery but from some preexisting condition. Frankly for me I would have rather died quick on the table if it was my time then to continue to die the way I was going.
You know in your heart you are doing the RIGHT thing for not only you but your whole family. YOU DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR LIFE BACK. And never forget that ever! So be scared. Throw up a few times and get your hiney down there on surgery day with a quiver in your hand and a smile in your heart knowing you are about to take your life back into YOUR own control.
No worries. You will make it through. You will be fine no matter what rough spots might be ahead. And in the end there is a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow called THIN!
I hope that helps some.
*super big been there hugs*
