Congratulations on your surgery date! It's the same day as my Mothers birthday - now it will be your "re-birthday" HOW EXCITING!!! 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. --- 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!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!

3/11/06 I had my meeting with Dr Spencer and he was very informative and friendly, His staff was also very organized and nice they answered all my questions. After speaking with Melanie I was able to set up nutrition , h pylori and pschologist visit all on one day 3/16. My anticipated surgery date is May 8 it has not sunk in yet. I am trying to make small changes now that will prepare for a lifetime of changes. Since the seminar I have started exersising 3-4 times a week. We did go to Disney last week and that put me off my routine. However, I did do a lot of exersise. I am anxious about the nutrition meeting. I have tried some of the protein shakes and pudding.They will take some adjusting but it is not horrible. I also became a Gold member at my local GNC becase the drinks and protein can become expensive. I enjoy reading the posting and am learning about different experiences and perspectives.
