Denice, looks like we will both be having surgery at the same time (10/24), and I have been to Knoxville a couple of times (beautiful city), so best wishes on a smooth surgery and quick recovery! Keep in touch and let me know how it is going for you from time to time : )

Hello Denice - It's finally a "reality" and your day is right around the corner - <b>Congratulations!!</b>     This is a second chance to LIVE life again.  No words can express the freedom that comes with this surgery.   My humble advice?  Walk as much as possible after surgery.  It'll be tough at times and you'll find that you'd much rather cuddle with your pillow then get out of bed.  Don't!!  Get up and walk, walk and walk it'll help with the overall surgery and recovery results.   As your body begins to heal make sure to get in your protein, even if it means plugging your nose and chugging back the drinks in baby [pouch] gulps.  Vitamins need to be chopped, minced or crushed... whatever it takes to get them in daily, no exceptions, <u>YOU are worth it.</u>   Also, let's not forget your new best(est) friend, water.  It is SO important to get your minimum 64 oz in daily.  One final thing, <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the special moments along the way, big or small.  Too many people focus only on <i>numbers</i>, ie. pounds lost.  There are so many "moments" to look forward to and embrace on this journey - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've more then earned it!!    <i>NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels!! </i> ....Hugs and smiles  : )

<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>
