i need your input - PLEASE

I know what you're feeling.  I had the same feelings with the what if's happen.  I even came close during my hospital stay to a "what if" when I ended up in the ICU unit on heart monitors etc.  Would I do it again? Yes I would.  I'll admit the first month was rough on me.  It was mainly emotionally, sucking on my sugar free jello and fat free chicken broth, while watching people eat real food around me.  It does get better.  Plus my taste changed a lot.  I use to be a pop junkie.  I could drink a 2 liter of coke like nothing.  Now I'm all abou****er and buying fresh lemons to cut up to put in it.  So far, i'm down 85 lbs, and just comparing my health so far, I can walk further, ride my bike now, excercise, and enjoy the outdoors.  I can all ready see quality of life improvements.  I wish you the best of luck :)

thank you all for sharing your feelings.  please keep em coming.
