OKIECHIC7 Thinking about you on Wednesday.....

Sherry, Your long awaited time is almost here. I know how excited you must be. Just wanted you to know that I will be thinking about you and we have all moved down a spot just for you. Take it easy these next few days and be kind to yourself. It's your turn now. (((((HUGS))))

Rita

Thank you so much Rita.I just cried and cried when I read this.. I REALLY needed to hear this right now! I am kind of having a hard time, which I know is normal after reading so many posts over the months...I cry then I'm fine....cry some more...then I'm fine again. I am cleaning house and making meals to clean out my fridge to give the kids and get it out of my house at the same time. I tend to cook or clean when I am stressed.....I am trying to get things in order....while trying to convince my family I will be fine!  I just never knew anyone could have so many emotions at one time.
I KNOW this is what is best for me and if I want to live, then it has to be done. I am ready to make any sacrafice it takes to get healthy again.
Thanks for moving over and making room on this never ending bench. It will be an honor to have a seat next to so many wonderful strong men and women!

Thanks again Rita...You made my day!

Sherry

I know you will have much peace when the surgery date arrives. It might be right before you're wheeled into surgery, but the peace will come. It's an awesome feeling. Until then, stay busy, and continue to allow the emotions to come up and out. Do whatever is of comfort to you and to your family. They need to know that you will be all right, of course. Which you will be, I know.
Blessings,
Mary

Sherry - I'll be thinking about you on Wednesday and know that you are making such a smart choice!  And it's good to keep busy!

You are going to do great and you deserve this so much!  You have certainly been through the wringer and stayed tough and determined!  Big Congratulations to you for staying the course and getting what you wanted!

You are so welcome. I assure you that it is perfectly normal for you to be having the emotions that you are having. You are taking a big step and I am certain that this has consumed your every thought for a long time. It will all be okay and know that you are in the best of hands. You can't ask for more than God and Dr. Walton. They are two of the best. Just concentrate on yourself and know that you have made a good decision to better your health. Have a speedy recovery and let go and let God.

Uncertainty about something as important as the future of eating (how will it be, etc.) is perfectly normal.  Remember, nothing is certain.  Life unfolds as it will, and you are taking steps to steer that course down a healthier path.

I think sometimes we (I) worry because it gives us the illusion of being in control-if we can worry about it, think about it, catch it before it happens......But that is all it is, an illusion.  It really all boils down to making the best choice at the present moment, and I know you are making a good choice to have this surgery. 

Keep working hard!  You're almost there and everything will fall into place!

I'm right behind you!  Keep a spot for me on the bench, will ya?

Thanks Win, I will bring my polishing cloth and shine your spot right up!!

WOOO HOOO HOOO....Sherry is fixin to be one of us, a big "LOOSER"!!!  This is one time we are all glad to be called "LOOSER'S"!!!  You have been such wonderful support for so many of us on this board and you just know Miss Sher that we are all here for you!!!!  Your day is almost here....  I'm so excited for you!!!!

Hey Sherry,

Everything you are experiencing right now is totally normal.  You have worked hard and waited a long time for this moment and now its here.

Not to worry - all will be well!  Warming up a seat on the Losers Bench for you right now!  Keep us posted as you progress on your journey.

All the best to you.


Huggs,
