"If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you'd like to win, but think you'll lose, you're lost. For out in the world we find success begins with a person's faith; It's all in the state of mind. Life's battle don't always go to the stronger or faster hand; They go to the one who trusts in God and always thinks ‘I can.’"

Hello Sheila - <b>Congratulations</b> on your upcoming surgery!   You'll find the changes with WLS nothing short of a miracle. I've prayed, wished and hoped over the last 20 years to have a "second chance" at being healthier and thinner - I never thought I would get that chance but I did and so will you.  My humble advice?  Walk, walk and walk after surgery.  Get in your protein, even if it means plugging your nose and chugging it back in baby pouch gulps.  Vitamins need to be chopped, minced, crushed, pureed?  ...whatever it takes to get them in daily, deal wit' it. : )~  And let's not forget our new best(est) friend. Water. It will ALL be worth it, I promise!! One more thing, remember to <b>CELEBRATE</b> all the special moments, big or small.  Too many people focus on the <i>number</i>, ie. weight.  There are many "moments" to look forward to and embrace - don't let any slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've earned it!!    Hugs -
