  1. My surgery date is May 18. One week from today. I'm so ready, and so tired of waiting. I've been in the program since October. I didn't expect to get so emotional before surgery. I feel like I'm going to be so much better; when I think of all my complaints, they are all tied to my weight: the osteoarthritis in my knees, the social anxiety, the pain in my back, my shoulders, SO MUCH will change. I really feel the "weight" of this life of obesity, and I just want to hide until I'm better. I'm ready to be rid of my pain, both physical and emotional. It's like over the past month I'm seeing myself as someone who's wearing too much body armor. I've allowed myself to look honestly at where I am, and I'm really ready to leave. 6 more days! I am so ready!
  2. I'm scheduled for May 18! I had hoped to have it done in March too, but I got set back when they diagnosed me with sleep apnea. 6 weeks of monitoring that, and now it's only 27 days away (but who's counting!). I'm so excited, and so are my worn out knees. Ready to do this!

    Smoking....

    Hi Melva, I didn't fell ready to stop smoking. I had tried and tried but couldn't do it. But it's been 2 and a half weeks now and I'm feeling great about it. In the past, whenever I tried to quit, I was miserable. I HIGHLY recommend this book, it makes it easy to quit. I know that sounds insane, but it's true. You can continue smoking while you read the book! Crazy, huh? I never thought ANYTHING would work for me, and this did, and I'm finally free of the horrible addiction I had. I encourage you to give it a try. Available on Amazon. Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: The Easyway To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr Link: http://amzn.com/0615482155
