Hi, Carol! Congratulations on being on the losing side now! I hope that your surgery went well. You posted a very thoughtful and sweet message on my support page, letting me know that we have the same surgery date. I am only now starting to physically recover (and don't require a few gulps of liquid Vicodin every few hours to get me through the day!). I've lost only 4 pounds since my surgery, but I'm also retaining fluids ... and I know that very soon I'll be saying ... 20 lbs gone ... 30 ... 50 ... 80 ... CENTURY CLUB!!! :) How exciting that we'll share this journey together! It looks like we've started out at around the same weight, it will be interesting to see how we progress & have a little friendly competition ;o) Please keep me updated on how you are doing. And thank you so much for your encouraging words.

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. --- Congratulations on your surgery date and 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!!! Good luck and God Bless!!!
