I want to thank you for your words of encouragement. I read your story and and was inspired. I am not really nervous and not scared. I have really kind of numbed myself because if anything I am afraid to be anything. I just keep saying I will express my emotions when the surgery is complete. It seems like you really enjoy your life and I am hoping that this gives me a boost in that department. I have three children and don't want them to think that it is okay to just let yourself go. I try very hard to monitor their eating habits and right now none of them are overweight or even look like they will ever be, but we know how that can be deceiving. I don't have an angel yet but this wont be the first thing that I will have to face alone. I have two days left and I start my liquids tomorrow. I did have one thing that I wanted to ask you, why did your hysterectomy stop you from being able to have laproscopic surgery? I had one last year and my surgeon has not mentioned anything to me. I don't know. I am happy but scared to show it. I hope you are still having and will continue to have the time of your life.
