Susie, so sorry about the loss of your husband. And I know what you mean

about " finding " yourself. And while I have the capability of motivating

others, sometimes I fail when it comes to doing the same for me. I just

want the opportunity to have normal feelings about food......to look at a

cookie and be neutral about it.....to eat or not to eat......nah, I don't

feel like it right now. LOL I want to cut those little sugar receptors

right out of my life. And even though Dr R no longer requires the psych

visit prior to surgery, I really think it is a good idea to at least have a

plan in mind for counseling, just in case there are issues post op.

Thankfully my work allows a certain amount of counseling sessions for free

through EAP---I have a feeling I will find my way into those offices at

least a few times post op. :-)

When are you planning to have surgery?
