Yuvonne, I hope that all is cleared for your surgery. The UTI should be the easiest thing to take care of. Bananas, sweet potatoes, V8 and leafy greens are good sources of potassium. Call your PCP and see what she says about some additional over the counter or prescription potassium to get that number higher. It is very difficult to get your potassium to high especially in the time frame that you are looking at. Here's wishing that surgery goes as planned! Good luck. KimmieTN

This is only the beginning of a wonderful treasure hunt. You ask me what is this great treasure? "Will it make me happy?" You ask. Oh, let me tell you it is something so wonderful and will be better than you have ever dreamed of. "What is it you ask?" It is the new healthier you. It will give you opportunities you have only dreamed of and ability to do things with loved one you have yearn for. I am so happy for you. Heal fast. Your new you is waiting for you.

The days ahead of you are full of great possibilities--and life's great unknowns. But the good news is that God holds tomorrow in His hand, and in His unending faithfulness gives you not only strength for today, but bright hope for tomorrow. God bless you as you embark on this new path for health and happiness. Our prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a full recovery!

Yvonne, At this point being scared or nervous is perfectly normal. We all are. The thing I really found ironic for me and for others as well is that we fear the complications of surgery, what might happen, but while we sit there day to day MO.. do we ever truly fear the complications or even what we KNOW WILL happen if we stay that way. It¡¦s funny how the brain works. You KNOW as a MO person you will or have gotten high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and a host of other complications, but when we think about it, do we really fear that as much as the small possibility of surgical complications? We KNOW that as a MO person our likelihood of premature death due to the MO is almost a guarantee but yet, we fear to the point of losing sleep that we will be the one of the small percentage that will die from the surgery. Did you lose sleep worrying about dying before the idea of surgery came about? I know for me I rarely did, even though I knew it was a strong possibility. During my time preop when I was going through my terror stage.. ¡§oh my goodness what am I DOING to myself???¡¨ I tried to always think back to what drove me to the decision to have surgery. During the first 4 weeks post op when I felt like S**T I went back to the same thing.. This really helped me. I knew things had to change and would change, whether or not I chose surgery. Either they would change with surgery for the better or without it for the worse, but I accepted that life as I knew it would change either way. So my decision was to change it on MY terms, for the better. Here I am now, nearly 8 months post op, minus 110 lbs. and a new person! I can move, live and feel healthy now! My risk of death due to MO is gone, I have no more high blood pressure, pre diabetes, asthma, sore muscles (except from the occasional over work out in the gym ƒº ), sleep apnea, or stress incontinence. I can play with my kids, I can shop in a normal store for clothes, climb a flight of steps, and I no longer feel like when I walk into a room, store, meeting, or my kids school, that I am the center of attention due to my sever morbid obesity. Mentally I am so much happier, I don¡¦t stress over food, I don¡¦t stress about my weight, I no longer wake up in the morning thinking about how I will fail at yet another diet, or how I am going to get through another day. I have energy, happiness and a future again. That is what this decision for surgery and the surgery itself did for me. I pray it will do the same for you. Trust in God, And let the peace of him surround you. May you reach all your goals and dreams Tami

Hello everyone, I just want to say thank you to everyone who sent such warm and encouraging comments to me on my upcoming surgery. I didn't get a chance to say thanks earlier because I had to leave town for a few days to visit my ill father in AZ. I just drove in a few hours ago, and before I get any sleep I just wanted to post and say thank you guys for being there.
