Thank you so much for taking the time to send me a message. I also read your journal and you have been through some rough times, but sound like a very strong person . I am glad things are better now for you. Great job on the weight loss. I hope I will be able to do all that is required to live with this diet. I know I will have emotional problems also giving up all my great foods, cause I love to eat. But I know I will have to do it and go through it. I do not have my husbands support on this at all. He is so against me having this surgury, but he has finally gave up and agreed. He thinks I will have complications and die. But I try to reassure him, that I know it will be okay. I have a great Dr.and I know it will be okay. I weigh 288 and would love to get in a size 14 jeans again. But anyway thanks for your message and I will be thinking of you. Thanks for the encouragement and be thinking of me on March 24th. Bye for now.
