Lois, regarding your post today about support or at least acceptance from those around you: I totally understand where you're coming from. When I was a pre-op, I told everyone about the surgery, and only 3 people were happy for me - out of about 50, and you can bet that the other 47 not only didn't approve, they didn't even understand the surgery! I figure if they don't approve, that is because they just don't know anything about the surgery. Therefore, I made a point of talking about the surgery constantly to anyone around me and making sure they understand why I wanted the surgery. Of the 3 people that approved, 2 were medical professionals; the 3rd was my sister (and bestest friend) and she totally understood why and where I was coming from. Now that I'm a post op (8 weeks) and have lost 54 pounds, everyone is excited for me. I hope you will help educate the masses - even against their will - and keep your chin up! We're here for you when you need encouragement. Just know that the truly hardest part is getting to the surgery table - after that, it may be hard, but it's not a constant battle and struggle. Best wishes for you on your upcoming experiences!!! (((Hugs))), your AMOS sister, Deana.

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget where you've been, But also know where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
