Hello Vicky - <b>Congratulations</b> on your upcoming surgery date!   You'll find the changes that follow, nothing short of a miracle. For 20 years I prayed and hoped for a "second chance" in life to be healthier and thinner - I never thought I would get that chance, but I did, and now <u>so will you</u>.  My humble advice?  Walk as much as possible after surgery.  As your body begins to heal make sure to get in your protein, even if it means plugging your nose and chugging back the protein drinks in baby [pouch] gulps.  Vitamins need to be chopped, minced or crushed... whatever it takes to get them in daily, no exceptions, YOU are worth it.   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, remember to <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the special moments along the way, big or small.  Too many people focus on the <i>number</i>, ie. pounds lost.  There are so many "moments" to look forward to and to embrace along the way - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've earned it!!    Hugs and smiles -

Congrats on your approval and surgery date! You'll just love Dr. Blackstone and Melissa. I had surgery April 23rd, and the whole experience was better than I expected. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all!
