PRAY AND REMEMBER

THERE IS LIFE AND DEATH IN THE POWER OF OUR TONGUES, SO WHENEVER YOUR SAYS THE NEGATIVE YOU SPEAK LIFE AND VERBALLY TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN AND WILL DO THIS, UNTIL YOU TRULY BELIEVE IT YOURSELF.

Absolutely! Thank you! I am a believer and I am trusting God. I know I can do this it's the future thinking that is getting me at the moment. But you are right I need to put my thoughts on things above.

Good luck on your surgery, can't wait to hear your recovery. My sleeve is on Dec 7 and I can't wait. We r all here to support each other.

I start my liquid diet on the Nov 30 and I'm trying to be strong and postive because liquids are going to bore me. I know of have to because I want to reduce my liver. Keep us posted, I will. Peace and Love to all.
