Hello Julie - Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be thinking of you on your very special and life changing day and I wanted to be one of many to say Congratulations! My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and speedy recovery. I'm a FIRM believer that positive attitudes and a good sense of humor can be a big help in getting those results. You're about to be blessed with a second chance to live a healthier and thinner life. Granted, there can be some ROUGH spots along the way but NO worse then sitting life out on the sidelines in our over weight shells. Besides, you have the best MENTOR you could ever ask for, in your sister, Dianna! What a wonderful, beautiful, gracious soul she is - who loves you very much and wants nothing but happiness and success for you. Watch out world, WLS surgery will set you free and the sky is the limit! This surgery has been nothing short of a miracle for me and I will be forever grateful. I've lost 230 lbs and have been at goal and in maintenance for over a year now. I'll leave you with one of my FAVORITE quotes...... <i>"To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally <u>unlike</u> your past. Your history is not your destiny." -- Alan Cohen </i> ..... <b>So very true! : )</b>

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!
