  The most glaring problem is my lack of exercise for last week. I just couldn't motivate myself to do it. First I blamed the depression prior to having my two ( perfectly healthy before the bad dentist drilled them away to nothing for a bridge) teeth pulled, then I blamed the pain and medications after having them pulled, and finally I blamed the need to work overtime to recoup some of our financial losses from the bad dentist. ( all of the missed work and extra daycare resulting from the extra appointments to normal dentist trying to correct the bad dentist work. You can guess how well that went) I have allot of excuses for not exercising and not eating better but now I need to clean up and put away the cake from my pity party (there wasn't really any cake as I couldn't have eaten it anyway due to my teeth or lack there of) and get back on track. It is like my mother always said, "Yes, something bad happened to you. Now you have a choice, can sit around and let this person keep hurting you by continuing to feel sorry for yourself (and pretending to eat imaginary cake) or you can get up, dust yourself off and continue living your life the best you can thereby showing this person that you are stronger than anything they can do to you." Sounds nice and it makes sense,

Thanks so much!  My surgery went very well, and I'm already home again.  I think I'm doing pretty good, right noow I'm focusing on the fluids and they've got me on the pureeds, so doing what I can there. 

My husband is amazing support.  He's military, so I have the nutritionst on base and the doctor that actually put this idea in my head. :)  And this website, of course.  I've been more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm working on trying to change that. 

I think the support is important too.  I hope to meet with my nutritionsit here in the next couple of weeks, and I'll ask her if she's heard of any groups local to the Anchorage area.  If not, I don't mind being there for you.  I'm a complete newbie to all this, but sometimes all you need is an understanding ear and a pat on the back.

Good luck to you as well, and holler if you need a hand! :)

Good Luck tomorrow !! I am excited for you. I have never regretted the surgery. do you have support around you?  I did well for a long time without support but think, if I am going to keep the weight off, I need to think about it and perhaps get some support to get into a gym somewhere.
I need exercise but am not sure how to go about that (fear of flying !!!)

Again...good luck. Keep in touch.
