6 years out a note to newbs

Thanks so much for sharing, as a pre-op I'll take any advice I can get from a vet.

You look fantastic and so full of life - a true inspiration!

You are most kind. Thank you, I also wish you the VERY best on our journey to better health no matter what that is.

Warmly,

Jackie

Thanks for checking in, loving the pics!  You look great!

Hi Kelly:

You have always been a good friend as well. I cannot always check in as much as I'd like but you as well look great on your journey. Thank you friend.

Warmly,

Jackie

Wow, Whoa, OMG, and unbelievable.  I then grab my hubs and say come look at this.  I'm so happy for you, you changed your stars.  /high five 

You brightened my day TJ:  I know I did the same thing, was always looking at everyone's "before/after" photos and stories and trying to get info and inspiration.... Pssst. A little secret for you. Someday, someone will be looking at YOUR photo in awe and going "Whoa! Look at her! OMG!"  You already ARE an inspiration girl, you have decided to do something HEALTHY for yourself and that takes courage, OK? Honest!

(((((hugs)))))

Warmly,

Jackie

Thanks! I'm am doing good and feel good about all this.  You keep rocking along! 

Thanks for the encouragement!  I am a newbie and I have endless questions it seems.  I have VSG in 3 days.  Your post calmed my nerves a bit   Thanks for the update and advice.  You look AMAZING!!!

Hey ya dimpleslya:

You are going to be on the "Loser Bench" soon (a really nice place to be!) Hang in there and just read/educate but don't over panic yourself..Ha-ha, I know easier said than done. Seriously...I am sending positive thoughts your way for your awesome surgery and it will be done and over with before you know it! It's the 3 months of "healing" after surgery that seem much more hard, LOL! But that is normal too, honest. Hang in there! :)

Warmly,

Jackie

I just read your blog.  What an inspiration you are!
