What are you most thankful for this year?

Yes, it's the inevitable but worthwhile Thanksgiving question: What are you most thankful for this year?

My answer:

This has been a year full of medical challenges, not just mine but my husband's. So I'd have to say that this Thanksgiving, I appreciate good physical health the most.

What about you?

Jean

I'm thankful for health insurance.

Amen to that!

I would have to say that I am most thankful for mine and my husbands jobs.  We are very fortunate to have good stable jobs that allows us to provide for our family in a comfortable manner.  Not extravagant mind you, but very comfortable.  Secondly I would have to say that I  am thankful for good, hard working kids that offer us no trouble.

Afrwe ending up in the ER in June and finding out I was only dehydrated (ater a lot of tests to rule out other things) I am grateful for my health and my family and friends.

Karen

I am most thankful for my God. He has carried us through the good times, the bad times, and the downright ugly times. I am also thankful for my family and my husband. They are the best.

I could echo everyone's responses.

I am thankful for my health, for our jobs -- for insurance (even though I have self-paid for all of my surgeries).

I am most thankful, though for my family.

I have 8 brothers and sisters, 23 nieces and nephews, a few greats, some wonderful in-laws and a husband who loves me more than I deserve.

I am blessed to get to spend Thanksgiving with a small portion of them!!

I am thankful for the good health that I've been granted and the weight that continues to disappear. I am thankful for the little seahorse that is presently growing in my womb, though now probably less seahorse-like. :) I'm grateful that I will be attending college in January 2013 to finish my degree that I started 10 years ago. I'm grateful for the fantastic insurance my husband has that has made the WLS and potential child possible. I'm grateful for the love of my husband, who loves me more than I likely deserve. I wonder every day on how earth I ever got so lucky to find a man like him. I'm grateful for his health and his enjoyment of my cooking (he has never complained about my nutrition changes during the transition of the band or even of pregnancy), of his support for my endeavors, for all that we've been given. Even when times are tight, we're still able to make it through and there are people out there with far less than we have. I've got a lot to be thankful for this year, mostly for the opportunity to have another of year of life with my friends and family.

I'm thankful for a husband that loves me even though I can be a pain in his butt going thru all the stress of this ordeal. I'm so thankful for my children and grandchildren and that my youngest and her DH can come home for the holidays.  I'm thankful that I was in a position to retire young so I could spend time with my husband who isn't. I'm thankful that my insurance paid for the band removal and has agreed to let me have a conversion to sleeve even with the Once in a lifetime WLS.

I am thankful that after almost 4 years I am still losing weight and creeping ever closer to my goal of 200 lbs lost. 

I am thankful that my band is working and has not given me any problems.

I am thankful for all of the freedom that my weight loss has given me.

I am thankful for my good health.
