My opinion is the only way a pocketbook cam help you lose weight is because

you empty your pocketbook of money. JMHO

Hi and good morning to you!

I can't believe I actually got up at 7 this morning. It took a lot

of prodding from my boyfriend, but I had requested help with getting

up last night. I have so much to do!

I have to tidy my bedroom because it looks like a nest. I am

having " A Celebration of Food " tomorrow night, and will be having

about 15 people over. That means even more housework (blah). I

haven't bought juices, or any of that stuff. Just pajamas, zip-n-

squeeze, and metamucil. I need to get on it.

Yeah, it would be great if I could wake up tomorrow and have it be

my surgery day. I find it tiring just waiting for it.

Who's surgery is coming up next?

Fay,

Change that guest list to 16 because that Celebration of Food party

sounds so good..(haha) What a great idea!

Yes, blah on that housework! I will have a bunch of that to do this

upcoming week. I don't even know why I bother because between the

kids and puppy, the house will look a wreck a few hours after

cleaning..(haha)

I am about to fall asleep here at the office. I have done no work

this week because I now have my student trainee doing everything.

So I am just sitting back here at my desk writing messages on this

board all day..(haha)

I think we have Connie's surgery next which I believe is on

Wednesday. Let me know how the party goes! Eat lots of food for me!!

Hi Fay,

I am right here with you on this! I guess this is really where you

can weed out who your true friends really are. I think what is

fortunate for me is that I have grown to the point in my life where

I am happy with myself no matter what others say. If anyone says

anything negative about me I just let it go and pray for them.

My biggest fear is not my appearance changing, but more so will I be

able to adjust to my new bite. I have been through so much dental

problems with all those root canals, apico's, etc. that I just worry

so much that this surgery will bring the pain back. I can deal with

the appearance change more so than I can deal with the pain coming

back.

Okay, on to some positive talk!! Your day is almost here!! 2 more

days to go for you. I am rooting for you and can't wait to talk to

you on the other side! Do you have your bags packed yet?

O my God, I am stressing hard!

I can't believe its only 2 days! 48 hours from now I will be halfway

through my surgery. Yikes!

I am also more worried about my functionality, as that is the reason

I got into this mess in the first place.

I can't believe all the things I have to do today. I have an

assignment due, I have to pack, tidy the bedroom, clean house, buy a

sitting up in bed pillow, relax, pack for my little guinea pig

(she's coming with us), relax, eat, relax......Aaahhgg! I'm having a

rough day. I think I need to cry but I can't...It sure would feel

better.

Thanks so much for supporting all of us, . You've really taken

us all under your protective wing. It means so much to me. I hope

all of our little stories are helping you to keep your mind off your

big day. I find its best when I am thinking about other things.

Talk to you later,

Fay
