Hello R.A. - Thank you so much for your sweet email. It left a big ol' smile on this silly face of mine. I peeked at your profile and noticed as of your 8/8/03 update that you've done all the medical testing and are now waiting on a surgery date. <b>Congratulations</b> on your decision to go through with the surgery! You'll find the changes that follow, nothing short of a miracle. For 20 years I prayed and hoped for a "second chance" in life to be healthier and thinner - I never thought I would get that chance, but I did, and now <u>so will you</u>. My humble advice? Walk as much as possible after surgery. As your body begins to heal make sure to get in your protein, even if it means plugging your nose and chugging back the protein drinks in baby [pouch] gulps. Vitamins need to be chopped, minced or crushed... whatever it takes to get them in daily, no exceptions, YOU are worth it. Also, let's not forget your new best(est) friend, water. It is SO important to get your minimum 64 oz in daily. One final thing, remember to <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the special moments along the way, big or small. Too many people only focus on the <i>number</i>, ie. pounds lost. There are so many "moments" to look forward to and embrace, don't let any of them slip by. Enjoy your new healthier life, you've earned it!! <i>"The key to happiness is dreams, the key to success is making those dreams come true"</i> Hugs and smiles
