Is everyone sleeping in this morning???
Hey everyone.
Just wondering what you are all up to?
Shauna any word on Cindy??
It is quiet this morning. My morning ritual, drink my coffee and read post.
I want to say something and sorry if it gets anyone down but I need encouragement. I cried myself to sleep last night. I am trying to be positive about everything and I know many have gone before me but I worry and I worry and any words of advice or encouragement at this point are welcomed. Well I am begging for them.
I hope each and every one of you have a great day.

It is so normal to feel nervous and apprehensive about surgery, but I think most people will tell you that it was the best decision that they have made for themselves! I know it was for me. What are you worried about in particular? Things will change for you for sure but with the changes come a healthy life. I was watching Dr. G....How not to die and the 2nd leading cause of death is obesity. She even said people need to consider surgery to deal with the problem. So, I kept myself from dying a premature death. Even with some yuckey days in the healing process and the times I thought...oh my, what have I done. It was by far the best thing I have done! I have lost weight so many times but have never successfully kept it off. I know if I use my tool like I should, I can live and fit and healthy life for the rest of my days. Keep your chin up. The fear of the unknown can be scary but sometimes you have to feel the fear and do it anyway! Try not to worry about what you can't control. I hope that helped some! Smile, it's the weekend!

Good morning. I haven't heard any more from Cindy or family. Will definitely let you know if I do.
Do not apologize for sharing your feelings of worry! Sweetie, it is only natural. I'm sure you've heard me say I regret wasting so much energy on worry pre-op now that I am post-op. If I could spare you, believe me, I would! (I'm emailing you my phone number now!) {{{Big hugs!!!}}}

Goodmorning Kelly,
Dont you know there are some of us wls angels up and at it early in the morning.
I try to walk my dogs before 8:30 to avoid my nieghbor when she walks her dogs LOL she is afraid of my bulldogs but I know in my heart they would not hurt anyone or thing.
Are you going to the OH Holiday party tomorrow ?it is in Raliegh this maybe just what you need is to come meet many of us in person.
If you cant go to that later on Saturday I am hosting a Tupperware party at my house at 3pm and I live in Pittsboro.
I understand how easy it is to worry before surgery it is a very normal reaction.
I commend you on a choice you have made to become healthier.
WLS is a life changing event for many and it can be hard work but the benefits are out of this world for many
including myself.
PM me for directions ect.. it would be great to meet you and if you can make it to either event I am sure you will feel the love and encouragment from many who have gone before you to surgery.

Thank you so much Lisa, Shauna and Annie
I was looking like one of those bobble heads that you put on your dash board while I was reading your replies.
Thank you all so much. You have no idea how much your kind words of encouragement mean to me.
Annie I hope to be there in the morning. I still have to figure out what to bring food wise. Barb suggested an Atkins recipe, I have some books I just have to dig them out and pick one. We are to bring a $5 gift??? Am I remembering that or did I make it up lol Barb sent me an email this morning and I told her that I thought this was exactly what I needed. As Lisa said I need to quit worrying about what I can't control, but that is me, the worrier. My OCD kicking in I guess.
Thank you all again and I hope you have a good day.

Kelly my DH says I worry to much also.
Keep in mind and also something I have thought about today is from the YES responces to the party last count was 30 people that is wonderful but... that is lots of different things to eat.
Those of us who have had wls cant possibly eat everything even tho our heads tell us other wise.
I also feel we are conditioned to cook large amounts when we think about parties and or family gatherings.
I look very much to meeting you tomorrow and will be intrested in what you bring to share.
Be sure to observe how much those who have had wls.
I guess sometimes I can do 6oz but that is pushing it.
If I take a break sometimes I can eat more.
I am so glad you will be joining us tomorrow.

You bring the gift if you want to participate in the exchange but that is optional if you just want to come. I hope I get to see you there tomorrow.
It is a pot luck so you can bring a favorite treat to share with recipe if you like.

7:15 I have to be at the hospital at 5:15 but I am glad of this. I am going to take my bath
and go to sleep 
the night before and wake up around 3:30 and head for the hospital at 4. Then while I am still half asleep 
I will be taken into surgery and everything will go smoothly as planned. Then I will be in my room, walking walking walking and everyone will think did she just have surgery 
and 2 weeks from today I will come home feeling positive and celebrate Christmas with my family and friends. This will be ideal but everything is going to be fine and we are going to be on that bench soon with flying colors, loosing pounds and feeling better and having more energy, coming off medications, doing things we haven't done in a long time or in some cases things we have never done. So here is to all that have come before us and all that will come after us,
Just 12 days to go, and we will hit the bench together. I am proud and happy for both of us!!!!! To a new life!
