Heidi, I can understand how you feel. Get the binge out of your system, set a day to start your necessary preop diet and just do it. You can be successful. Think of how happy you will be when you start losing weight and how much better you will feel. You can do this!!!! All my best to you Sher L

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. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!

3/30/06 3 days after I was originally scheduled for surgery. I am rescheduled for 4/18/06, due to coming down with strep 2 days before surgery. It was disappointing, but by Monday afternoon I felt it was a blessing. Today has been a hard day though. After struggling with the Liquid diet, I have a two week reprieve and am binge-ing something terrible. The docs said I only need to do one week of liquid diet since I have already done 2 weeks, but I am thinking if I don't settle down, I may put myself back on liquid diet early. It will be fine though. I've just got to put God back in the driver's seat again!

I am blessed. The Lord has freed me from many burdens, from an oppressive marriage, and through this surgery he is giving me a tool to become free from my excess weight. I know that it will be alot of very hard work, even with the surgery, but for once the odds will be in my favor. But more importantly Jesus gave me freedom from my sin, and from the lies of the enemy. I can't believe how much he has done for me! God is Good! Heidi L-S
