hospital admissions yesterday
Aww, thanks!!! I appreciate it! Yes, the painting is also mine... it's called, "Dot." She is a "golden girl." On accounta, she's very... Jersey Shore tan. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/biggrin2.gif)
You're an artist, too! We all are... some just engage in it more.
You might be surprised at what you could create... maybe you just haven't found your medium yet! I teach painting classes occasionally. It's all a matter of finding the right brush, pen, pencil, pastel, etc. Then, just go to town!
You'll get a giggle out of this one... I painted a dollhouse for a local doctor... and I just couldn't resist breaking out my old Dawn dolls (remember those? They were smaller than Barbies.) I had clothes for them... but I thought it was funnier to have naked sorority house.

Congratulations! I am glad that you had a positive visit. It makes all the difference. You will do great!
I am still really excited about my choice, and was so nervous before the surgery. You will be so excited once surgery is over and started on you way. Follow their instructions and don't expect a lot the first month as your body will need to heal. Once the six weeks is up and you can really focus on the exercise more you will see more loss.
I am 4 months out yesterday and down 77 pounds. It is a big change, body and mind!
Good luck.
