OH MY GOD!!! I can hardly believe it. I have only 3 weeks from tomorrow til my surgery, I start my liquid diet next thursday. I just need to get everything ready to take to the hospital and everything that i will need when i get home. well when I get to my moms house cause she insists that I stay with her at least for a few days after the surgery. I go for my pre ops at the hospital next friday, this is really hapening... it is so hard to believe after waiting so long that it is finally gonna happen.. I have been thinking alot lately about after the surgery how things are gonna be, and i just cannot picture myself not being overweight.. i dont think that thre has ever been a time that I have not been overweight, well maybe kindergarten but that is about it.. My daughter is starting to get a lil nervous too, she keeps wanting to sleep in my rom instead of hers, and she said that since they are out of school the day of my surgery and the day after that she is gonna stay with me in the hospital and take care of me.. I am so lucky to have her she is such a good girl, dont get me wrong she is 11 and she does have that preteen mouth, you know the one that you want to smack sometimes.. but she is a good girl, she helps me out a lot, Im sure she cant wait til after the surgery and I start losing the weight so she wont have to help out soo much.... I still worry about something going wrong during surgery, what will happen to my baby girl, but I have written a will to take care of that, And I have just put it al in Gods hands, I know that he has a plan and if it is in his plan that I need to come home with him, I will no matter when or where I am.I have faith that he got me this far, everything will be all right... well I guess i have babbled enough, Everyone have a wonderful and blessed day. And to all of you losers I am so proud of you all, and to all that are still waiting... keep your head high your day is coming!! Amber

Hello Amber - <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 - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've earned it!!    Hugs and smiles -

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Hi Amber, Loved your profile graphics. They made me remember a Tweety cookie jar that I always coveted. I don't know why but I just wanted that big yellow head in my kitchen. Well, can't eat cookies now but I still love Tweety Pie! Best of luck to you in your journey. It sounds like you will be getting your date really soon, like any day now. I hope you don't have to wait much longer.
