Hello All.....YEAH... Well TGIF to all and I for one am so glad it is Friday...., feeling much better now since my PCP gave me something mild for the anxiety, only have 15 tabs so I have to make then work for me... My surgeon even said I can take one the morning of surgery with a VERY small sip of water... Well please post and let me know how you all are doing today? QUESTION: Do you have a saying that you heard somewhere that had stayed with you or one you just heard and you know it will help you through? One of mine is something that I heard here: "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels" and I am so waiting to "feel".... Well take care all.... Debra P

Artist: Kelly Clarkson Lyrics Song: Breakaway Lyrics Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I just stared out my window Dreaming of a could-be And if I'd end up happy I would pray (I would pray) Trying not to reach out But when I'd try to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I pray (I would pray) I could breakaway (Chorus) I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I loved I'll take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard a fast train Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will) And breakaway (Chorus) Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging in revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but Gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, breakaway (This part I LOVEEEE) I'll spread my wings And I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk Take chance Make a change And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Brenda, Hello hun....~hugs~ You always have so many good things to say and share with us....thanks for that... I love song hun, this part is my FAV: I'll spread my wings And I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk Take chance Make a change And breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk Take a chance Make a change And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway Thanks agian hun....

Good Morning Ms. Moozy! Glad the doctor gave you something to ease your anxiety! Think of all the benefits of the surgery and be positive! Get alot of rest Well its a beautiful morning and I finally have time this morning to read some posts and respond. I have been extremly busy with School and Work. I am now 2 months post op and lost 40 lbs. I have not lost any weight in a week, and Im finding this upsetting but will not let it get to me. I started riding my bike 2 miles in the morning (only did it twice so far) and every morning I walk to the next subway stop to get in a little extra walk! I hope this jump starts my metabolism! I tell my mom this all the time because she worrys about things that she has no control of. I have found that my life is alot less stressful: "There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will." Epictetus

Sweetie, Good to see you posting hun, missed ya for a bit.... Yes the Dr came to my rescue.....it helps without feeling drug head... I still get the butterflies, which is a good thing, but not the anxiety that was running me down.... Congrats on the weight loss hun....YEAH So many hit that plateu(sp?) but it always starts again..... Thanks for sharing that saying hun, that is what I need to read and LEARN... Thanks again Debra P
