Shylarose

Sandra, This is awesome. It is so nice to meet someone on the timeline as myself. Thanks so much for the offer of being my friend on Facebook, but I am mostly on it for work and do not really want to be discussing this for all to see. If you have email, mine is shylarose@juno.com. I would love to keep in touch so we can encourage each other along the way.

So, my December surgery buddies, does anyone else find themselves just stopping and looking at all the foods in the grocery store you no longer desire to eat due to changing your eating habits for the better? I am almost positive that the workers at my local grocery store think that i have "officially lost it"! I stand in front of the bakery displays, icecream freezers, and the rows of Cookies and chips for minutes at a time. I don't buy anything, just stand there and stare. In my head I am having quite the dialogue in regards to my not needing it anymore. It is quite empowering to walk away, just a little funny for everyone else to watch I am sure.

Thanks Grace. I appreciate the words of encouragement.

That is great! I am nervous and excited as well. It seems to be happening so quickly. I would love to know how it goes for you. I will keep you in my prayers. Blessings!

It is so encouraging to see there are others who are looking forward to their surgeries in December. I met with my surgeon on September 21st and was told that if I had lab work done and have my Psychological exam I would be set for a December 16th surgery date. This was quite a surprise as at the orientation meeting I was told it would more than likely be six months out or more. I went from looking forward to 2016 to celebrating in 2015. Here is to a blessed Christmas and a fabulous New Year to everyone in this group.
