WHEN I FIRST HAD THE SURGERY, I WAS MOTIVATED AND DETERMINED AND HAD WILL-POWER TO REACH MY GOAL.. BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY I LOST MY MOTIVATION, DETERMINATION AND WILL-POWER.. AND I STARTED EATING AND DRINKING THE WRONG THINGS THAT IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EATTING OR DRINKING.. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN GET IT ALL BACK? IF SO, HOW CAN I DO JUST THAT? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME..

Hi Kristen,

Wow! I could have seen you recently... I was in San Jose all summer... until last week. 

I know that it must be frustrating, but remember that you have already started your journey. Keep up the good work and let us know when you finally get that surgery date scheduled. 

Hi Barbara;

Thank you for the reply.  Actually my older sister has been amazing she went showing and purchased a hand mixer, all the "mini" pans and pots that I'd require for after the surgery...of course weeks later.  My second oldest sister purchased the little appetizer plates for me and a really nice glass for me so I can drink my water.  My sister's are terrific.  My friend (Margaret) that I have known for close to 10yrs will be taking me to the hospital and then picking me up again when it's time to come home.  She then will be staying with me for the first 48 hours.
I do and will not tell my mom about this surgery.  My mom and I have never gotten along and she is
very controlling.  When I was six months pregnant she complainted to me that I was gaining weight....aren't you suppose too...go figure.  Anyway I don't need the negatlivity from her in my life at this stage.
My roommate soon to be moving...which I can't wait is really not supportive, which hurts considering
who she is. I'm recently separated withing the last 7 months and he tells my friend, Margaret the he supportive but doesn't show it to me. 
Anyways, thank you so much for the reply letter and it's just that I have to slow down and breath and everything will be fine I'm sure.

Cheers
Donna
