I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on your surgery. Take a deep breath, try to relax. Know that we all care about you and are wishing you the best. Think positive, it really does help. After surgery, remember to turn, cough, take deep breaths, and walk to prevent complications. Hold your incision when you cough, it helps it hurt less. Keep your profile updated, it may make a difference in the live of someone else. Smile, keep your chin up! And lastly, if your chin does fall, just remember, from this position it is easier to moon people! :) (Also, humor helps too!)

Hello CJF, I peeked at your profile and noticed your surgery date will be next week. I wanted to be one of many to say <b>Congratulations</b> to you on your special day!   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 focus on the <i>number</i>, ie. pounds lost.  There are so many "moments" to look forward to and to embrace along the way - don't let any of them slip by.   Enjoy your new healthier life, you've earned it!!    Hugs and smiles -

Just wanted to take a moment to say hello and to wish you the best of luck with your upcoming surgery. I love reading your posts and I know that you will do just fine with this surgery. You have a wonderful daughter and I am imagining her father isn't too bad either......lol. Take care and God Bless....

Hey mommy. I know you are very worried about your surgery, but it's going to be just fine. I'll be there with you every step of the way and I'll be there by your side when you are recovering. Just think of the times we'll have after the surgery, when you loose all the weight. Besides shoes, we could swap jeans and shirts too :) Plus you'll have so much energy when we go to Disney World next. You won't have to complain about how the seats are so small on the airplane or the rollar coasters. I love you mommy, and I'll be there for you. Luck be a lady. (\o/) /_\
