Re: recipes needed (vegetarian) ~ JO

JO! Do you have before/after pics? I would love to see them=) It's

always inspiring when you see what a difference it can make in

someone's self esteem. I may not look like a super model after my

surgery LOL but I know it has to be better than what I've got now!

And in addition to looks, it is just so hard for me to speak

properly so I rarely do (or not as much as I'd like to anyway). My

self esteem should improve dramatically ~ I will at least be a lot

more outgoing in social situations!

I am also very thankful for this site and all the wonderful advice ~

I can't imagine going through this solo! Like you said, even though

I'm really nervous I have to focus on the future and how much my

life should improve b/c of this. I will keep that in my mind during

recovery when things get me down. By the way, I just bought a

blender today and before I even plugged it in one of the buttons got

stuck!! Grrrrr ~ now I have to return it, I am not buying that brand

again!
