Surgery is set for October 19th at 12 noon. I have been to the dietician class and drug ole' hubby along for the thrills and chills. Needless to say he didn't think much of all the changes. Now when I cook he says will you be able to eat this or that food. I tell him--some day, some day, just not very much of it. I tried my first protein drink. . . oh well I'll get used to it. I even made it take me over an hour to sip it. I have a financially disavantaged woman I'm gonna give my clothes to. She always loves my clothes and tells me how nice I dress. I have a whole day of testing and cadiologist and stuff scheduled for Oct. 4th and 5th. I'll finally get to meet the surgeon on the 13th. My hand holder told me she just can't believe how things are going. I'm not sleeping good most nights. I went to my regular Dr. the other day and he put me on Beta blockers for my blood pressure. He said I was a 3 med kinda girl, some folks take as many as 5 meds for blood pressure. He also said my nerves might be part of the problem. BUT the Beta blocker didn't like me, first day there was heavinest in my chest, second day there was extreme shortness of breath, third day there was NO more Beta blockers and my breathing, etc. improved by the evening. A great big thank you for the words of encouragement. I always thought I was alone in this old Big world until I went for the informational seminar. I now know I'm really and truly am not alone. I know God is looking out for me because of how quickly things are progressing but I come from a long line of worry warts. I've told hubby I wanted a movie and dinner with a mixed drink before my surgery because the next time we go out I'll be smaller, eating happy meals (my joke about quantity), and I won't be having a mixed drink!

Congratulations on your surgery date! 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. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 120 pounds– I’M AT GOAL!!!
