Hi Sally! Guess what? You are almost there!!! Your journey of permanent weight loss is about to begin. I suggest while you're resting in your bedroom to dream about that new you----see yourself walking with ease, shopping for groceries without pain, walking your dog, cleaning your house, eating out, walking in a park, riding a horse----whatever it is you want to do----envision yourself doing it!!! I did this prior to my surgery on August 20th and it helped me out so much. Much Love, Lori Ann
