I can't tell you what a difference it made in my journey to have a surgery angel guiding me all the way. Holding my hand and just being there. Mine was across the country and I loved her for all she did.
I see a lot of emails from members getting ready for surgery and are scared and posted asking for a surgery angel, with no responses. I am seeing less and less posts from surgery angels asking for support comments on profiles, and other things that angels do for pre-ops and newbies.
I was so scared before my surgery, and when I saw all the good luck wishes in my comment section I was so empowered. When I had complications my surgery angel posted about it and all the commments again help me through a very rough time
Please everyone, take a moment to go to this angel link and pay it forward to those that are just starting out

The best ways to enjoy your holidays are to
keep in place your healthy habits that you
follow the rest of the year.
We are on track, practice our healthy habits
that are the foundation of our weight loss
surgery success all year long. We flip the
calendar and there is December staring at us.
The “dreaded" December that can include lots
of holiday eating and indulgences. You can still
follow your normal healthy habits and enjoy
your holidays.
The holiday season is a time for celebration,
family and friends. Some of us can go off track
with our healthy food choices and setting aside
our exercise program to fully enjoy the
holidays. To enjoy the holidays doesn’t require
us to toss aside our healthy habits. Keep them
intact and stay on track to fully enjoy the
holidays. Place your focus on family, friends,
celebrations and get-togethers, and not on food.
Keep on track for the holidays by reinforcing
your healthy habits. Here are some holiday
hints that will help you fully enjoy the holidays
and the reason for the season.
* Eat a healthy snack or even a mini-meal
before going to a party. You’ll be less likely to
fill up on sweets and high-calorie dishes with a
satisfied pouch.
* Avoid the empty calories, zero nutrition of
alcohol.
* Bring your own weight loss surgery favorite
dishes to parties. With the variety of wls
recipes, other guests will never know, yet you’ll
know you’re eating on track.
* Arrive at mealtime and avoid the high fat,
high calorie appetizers. Keep a refreshing glass
of water in your dominant hand to assist you in
reaching for snacks.
* Replace sugary, fatty snacks and desserts
with healthy holiday snacks such as fruit
baskets and nuts in the shell. They look just as
festive and are healthier choices.
* Attend only the parties you really want to go
to. You’ll save a lot of calories, stress and
valuable time.
* Simplify the meal if you are cooking. Serve
raw vegetables with a dip for an appetizer, a
lean healthy protein (such as turkey), plenty of
steamed vegetable dishes, a fruit platter or
healthy dessert choices.

I was sitting on my couch the other day and was looking at my scrawny pretty Christmas Tree. We had been looking at some resource info to send to creditors. Letters explaining my hubby's layoff. We have a very high energy cat that likes to mess with the skirt under the tree so my hubby put the box with the resources on top of it. So, I was looking at the tree and looked down and saw the box. It says "Financial Peace". I thought wow, that is exactly what I want for Christmas. Tis the time for miracles. Do you have any miracles to share?
