Thank you Everyone!

Hey Jules.. dont be so rough on yourself.. youre doing fine.. if you want it.. you will do it! I pretty much told everyone.. im not much for.. "keeping it all in" LOL anyone notice that about me??  giggle anyhow... you do what you feel you need to do to get what you want and need. I felt I needed all the support I could get and as time went on pre-op I was able to share all the things I learned. One of my friends has lost 70lbs on her own now and my other friend has lost a few lbs too. I feel I may have motivated the healthy living aspect! However it goes.. it goes! Be well and best wishes!!!

Jules- you are doing wonderfully!!  Hopefully this last week will fly by for you!  It was great seeing you tonight and I so hope to be able to make it on Saturday also. and as for the telling/not telling-  I waited until after surgery (some even from my hospital room).  I felt that in the time beforehand, I did not need anyone with any negative opinions.  I needed to be in the right frame of mind and so I didn't give anyone a chance to give me doubts.  Granted- they may have just as well given me encouragement- but wasn't taking that chance. I do find now though- I will tell a perfect stranger

Tammy, open? Don't hold anything back? Was that a joke? Ha ha ha. You're my kinda person Tam! Thanks again everyone for all your support. Beth/Alexia....I was really happy to see you at the meeting tonight and I really hope you can make it Saturday. I'll probably tell the whole world about the surgery AFTER it's over too. I don't want anyone watching over my shoulder all the time, you know? We'll see how I feel in a week! I can't wait! Good night everyone! Jules
