Jenni ~ 17 days and counting!! Way to go!! Just think, in a few short months you will actually be riding the rollercoaster rather than just feeling like you're on one!! I will pray for you and hope all goes well.

I wanted to wish you well with your upcoming surgery. I hope that all goes well and that you are up and out and about real soon. I'll bet you are are doing a happy dance accompanied by a bundle of unwanted "NERVES", but don't worry be HAPPY! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good Luck!

Jenni - don't be upset about not being able to move up your date. I had my surgery two years ago, weighing at 302; I now weigh 131. If I hadn't had God to rely on and/or refuge, I feel I would not have done so well. It actually felt like he put his arms around me and just "hugged" me thru this surgery and recovery and still today. I will be praying for you; you have made the right decision; do what the doctor says, exercise after surgery and you'll be just fine cause you have a "protector".

Hey Jenni ~ Don't go overboard. My suggestion is to order a whole bunch of samples. Also baratriceating.com (I think! Check Susan Maria's profile if that's not right!) has samples. I ordered some stuff but I'm not even going to start sampling until after surgery. Your tastes change and what you like now might not work after surgery. I started to build up a cache so that I'm not spending a bunch of money right before surgery trying to get a good supply. I don't have a surgery date yet but hopefully I will be before Thanksgiving! Best of luck to you!

JENNI~~just keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day. There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road. Don't look back.... you're not going that way!

Hi Jenni :) Sweetie, the fear is normal and it's real important to just keep your focus on how much better your life will be for you (and your kids) after your surgery. Think about all that you'll be able to do that you can't do now! For me, I was terrified of the actual surgery. So much that I woke the morning of 5/2/03 and almost went back to bed with the full intention of not showing up to the hospital. Fortunately, somewhere inside me, there was also a great amount of hope and that's what finally got me up and going. Turns out that my surgery (RNY) when exactly as planned with no complications, almost 0 pain, 0 naseau, etc. I am not almost 5 months post-op and 90 lbs lighter, and I am feeling better than I have in a very long time. I'll be keeping you in my prayers, knowing that you can do it! Sending hugs, Caroline
