I DID IT....

Way to go, Jami!
Do you think losing weight has helped to empower you?  The best to you!

Thanks and yes i do. Something i read while preop and getting ready was a phrase i have never forgotten, "Redesign your life", from top to bottom to make myself happy and create the life i always wanted (gut the interior, leave only the beams behind and start fresh). I read that, thought about it and knew i needed to to that. I looked inside and saw a lot missing, wondered what would fill it and began to just slowly awnser myself.
I hope you all go to the goals section and add and add and add stuff, i add every week or 2 when i come up with something new.

From a former Massage therapist you are going into a great field.  Best of Luck
Val

thanks so much!
U r still preop? nice choice in surgeon

Surgery in Dec.  Im on my supervised diet.  Started Saturday.  The nut has me on 2 days shakes/clear liquids alternating with 3 days high protein no carbs. 

I worked as a massage therapist in South Carolina for 10 years, set up massage schools.  WA state rejected my credentials so I have to start over.  I doing medical assistanting instead.  I loved doing massage however.  IF I can help in anyway let me know
Val

WOW, crazy. And thanks!
Good luck and keep me posted on your progress, that liquid diet is a bugger!

 I am a massage junkie.  I know you will need bodies to work on - count me in!!!

You are rewriting your blueprint.  Good for you.  Every step we take - all of us - is changing where we've come from and where we WERE heading.  

You must be happy for you first before you can help others in their happiness.  

Be happy.

Jami , That is wonderful ! There are few things better than a good massage , in my opinion .I think it's great you are going for your dream . Life is too short to waste it in an unhappy job .  Unfortunately , I can't make much money with my hobbies . I tried . So , thank goodness I love the people I work with (DD) . I just dislike the bureaucracy .

I'm so proud of you Jami... Hey and my birthday is in March, so what a perfect time to get a massage :)  woo hoo... Like Helen said.... It will be nice to see a MT that understands the whole WLS aspect of our bodies

You are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
