Getting closer and feeling a little nervous

Hi there,

Funny how we get impatient about events in our lives and all of a sudden those events come and go! Surgery is only 2 1/2 weeks away! The whole time i've not had any feelings of nervousness or second thoughts. As it gets closer, those feelings are changing, but just a little. I was talking to a friend who just had the surgery a week ago and she's having a hard time with food going in one end and coming out the other! It really is a huge lifestyle change, as I sit here drinking a diet coke, realizing after surgery I won't be able to drink pop. Toast, bread, pasta, raw veggies, nope! Not for many months anyway. You know tho, that's ok! I'm ok with it!

Today wasn't one of the best days I've had, in fact it started out very crappy and now as I sit here typing the desire to work out is slipping away. It's amazing how draining emotional stress/crying is. It's ok, i'm fine.....don't worry! I just get tired of my emotions and feelings getting trampled on.

My last class is Monday, the 29th. It's amazing how fast these last 3 months have gone! I am truely blessed to have been with a group of about 10 people that have made this journey alot of fun! And if you feel that the 3 months of classes required at Altru is too long, it's really not, you will learn SO much and make friends with some wonderful people! Go to one of their info classes! email me if you need more info: kerri@97kyck.com

I'm just about 2/3 of the way through my 12 weeks. It seems like we could do this for so much longer! Didn't we just start a couple weeks ago? No? Are you sure?

There are 2 people in my class that are not having surgery. One cannot. The other doesn't want to. And that's fine. But this program is giving them the tools to change thier lives anyway.

I'm such a big believer in this program. More than I ever could have if I had not gone through it.


BTW--off the crutches today!

19 days Kerri...you've come this far. Have you ever emailed with Mary? See where's she's at 2 years or so after her surgery, ask her was it worth it and would she do it again. This is a life changing event. You will be fine, every person is different, besides you can get one of those portable toilets I saw on your pic of the day to carry around!

Have a good day! Love you!

PS..I'm sending the soup recipe
