Rikka, Congrats on you surgery. You will do great. Important things to remember post surgery: move, move, move (you have to get up and move ASAP) and drink, drink, drink lots of water (as soon as the doc says you can). You are going to be a BIG LOSER! Enjoy it. You will be in my prayers and thoughts tomorrow.

Hi Rikka! Stay tough in your decision to not smoke! And as for eating lots of sugar before surgery, it's normal for many of us to have "gotten in that last meal" before our surgeries. (I even gained 10 lbs prior to my surgery because of all those last meals!) But do know that most everything you think you won't be able to have, you will - just in moderation. And for things like sugary foods, there are so many wonderful alternatives available, that you'll hardly miss all the cakes, pies, candy, etc. Rikka, I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers as you journey over to the other side! :) Caroline (5 months post-op and -91 lbs)

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. (unknown author)FROM MY HEART TO YOU ~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Good morning everyone I have 3 weeks left I am trying so hard not to count the days but I can't help it....Time is starting to move really slow I keep reading and re reading all the information that they gave me at pre admission testing. I am so ready. Another problem that I have been having is eating I keep baking cookies and cakes and stuff which is very weird because I was never a big cake or cookie eater I know it is a mind thing me thinking that I will never be able to eat cookies and stuff again. I think that my nerves may be bad and I need to smoke a cigarette but since I stopped smoking cold turkey 07/18/2003 I am eating to replace my cigarettes I am going to stop that because I lost 9 ponds but every since I went to pre admission testing I have been eating sweet stuff like crazy it's weird that it has been 2 and a half months and I am just now craving a cigarette...Can you believe that I have 21 more days to go.....I guess I will go back to playing The Sims Online it made my approval part move fast so hopefully it will make these 21 days just zip by. I am a little addicted to that game it is so fun.....Well that's all for now...Remember no matter what step of your journey you are on you arein my deepest thoughts and prayers!!!
