I LOVE this prayer!! It's probably my favorite of all times. My mother quotes this to me on a regular basis. It's amazing how many times in my life it has been exactly where I was at mentally. I think this surgery is another example. Right now I am at "Give me the courage to change what I can". It is very scary. I was very ill yesterday and was like please tell me I am not going to go through this for months after my surgery.

Thanks again for sharing this wonderul prayer.

On my way

Crissy......the Serenity Prayer is my favorite too. Actually i have plaques and other things all over my home with that prayer on it. I even have a thing in my car with that prayer too. We do have to accept the things that we can't change and know the difference between the ones we can and can't change. I know after WLS you have to remind yourself of that daily sometimes. Hope you are feeling better today. I will say a prayer for you. Hang in there. Not sure if you are newly post op or still pre op but if you are newly post op......you will have good and bad days in the beginning.....just remember that it WILL get better. Have a blessed weekend !!!

Oh, you are so sweet. Thank you for the prayer! I am still pre-op. I feel down some stairs last week and have been having some problems since. I am scheduled for my surgery on July 1st. I am excited but of course nervous. I will sick to my stomach all day yesterday from the muscle relaxants they gave me after my fall. It was a rough day for sure but hopefully my post-op won't be so bad. Wish me luck!

On my way

Crissy....so sorry you feel down the stairs. UGH that is terrible. Hopefully you will be off the muscle relaxants before surgery. I don't believe that you can take them after. I do wish you all the good luck in the world with your VSG. It is a amazing surgery. Take care and hope you feel better really soon.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
