MAUREEN~~ Sorry to hear that you're feeling down~~ "It is not easy to live life sometimes~ And face the world with a smile when you're crying inside ~It takes a lot of courage to reach down inside yourself ~Hold on to that strength that's still there ~And know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities ~But if you can hold on long enough to see this through ~You'll come out a new person-stronger"
Maureen,
GET WELL WISHES COMING YOUR WAY!!!! :O)
Sorry you're not feeling well, and I hope you feel better soon. I hope that your consultation in 17 days gives you new hope, and inspiration, and things go your way.
Rest up, and get better.
Hi Maureen! I just wanted to thank you for posting such kind words. It's so nice to have such supportive kind people praying for me. I hope all goes well with your consult. Please keep us updated. I will be praying that you get a speedy surgery date. Thanks again!

MAUREEN~~ I didn't get off Mt Dew soon enough before surgery (I kept cutting back and was still having one occasionally). Well, after surgery I offered a nurse $1,000 for her MT Dew (and I WAS SERIOUS) I would of killed for that pop. As difficult as it will be cutting out the DP, it will be more difficult post-op if you don't do it (take it from one who knows)....
Maureen just wanted to thank you for the posting it is beatiful. Also thanks for the support, as it's getting closer I feel so anxious I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Best of luck to you and I wish all the best for you and your family.
Hi Maureen,I just wanted to wish you well while on your journey to the other side. I read your post today about the "Pink Dress" ,that was so beautiful it almost made me teary. Well congratulations on your steps to making a change in life for the better.
Have you ever seen the movie: THE WIZARD OF OZ??? Well, soon you will be saying what the wicked witch said when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her: "I'M MELTING!! I'M MELTING!!!" Those lbs will just melt off of you soon. You will soon be walking down the YELLOW BRICK ROAD to see the WIZARD OF OZ and your sweetest wish will be granted. Congratulations and good luck to you. My husband and I both had our open rny's at Pacific Bariatric in San Diego in 2001 and have lost a combined total of 325 lbs. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
