I to am having RNY on March 5. I will keep you and all the other March 5-er's in my prayers! Phil Collins wrote "We Said Hello, Goodbye" and I would like to think we are all doing this. Saying goodbye to our fat and all its baggage, being scared to say goodbye to the "old you" and hello to who we really are inside- not just what everyone sees. When he talks about "...its a feeling you wake with one day" I think it applies because all though we are going to be in a new stage of our lives, we still are the same beautiful wonderful people we always were. We said goodbye to a dear old friend And we packed our bags and left feeling sad It's the only way We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile It's the only way Only way Turn your head And don't look back Set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there oh Well it really don't matter much where you are Cause home is in your heart It's a feeling that you wake with one day Some people keep running all their life And still find they haven't gone too far They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh Turn your head and don't look back Just set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile - it's the only way

Hi Debi Hope you have a safe journey to the other side. Keep us posted "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending. "The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit." ~ Jim Rohn "There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow." ~ O. S. Marden "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." ~ William Jennings Bryan "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil." ~ James Allen "I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you." ~ Author Unknown "Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, 'Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary." ~ Anthony Robbins "Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life." ~ Harvey Mackay "Life is a challenge, but if you don't stand and risk you will never know if you were able to win or lose. Challenges are not a thing of winning or losing; they are a way of learning from them to become a better person every day! ~ Alexsander Rodriguez, P.R. "Don't ask for it to be easy, ask for it to be worth it." Dan Kuschell "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins; not through strength, but through persistence." ~ Jackson Brown "The most important question to ask is not 'What am I getting?' The most important question to ask on the job is 'What am I becoming?'" "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." - Richard Bach "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself. ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown It's never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot A wish changes NOTHING; A decision, changes EVERYTHING "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will,they soon become inevitable." Christopher Reeves "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:2-3 Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much." ~ Jim Rohn Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Debi, sending lots of warm wishes and prayers your way for an uneventful surgery, a speedy recovery, and lots of weight loss! I'm 9 months out, almost 100 lbs. down, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Just remember, WATER, WATER, WATER, PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN, WALK, WALK, WALK...... it really works! The pre-op jitters are something you'll just have to weather, we all had them, it's natural and normal to have them..You'll be fine.{{{Hugs}}}
