Join in the fun!!!

I'm at work... and to keep me entertained , join in: -- How's your weekend going/what are you up to? -- What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: Example: I gave up 'chips every night before bed' and gained 'the ability to wear a two piece'!  -------------------------------------I'll start!-------------------------------------- ---I'm at work --- reporting on this weekend's weather and murders, as usual. Excited for my friend's b-day party tomorrow and to meet Dr. Jones on Monday!!!!! --I plan to give up Coke (my addiction) and hope to receive a whole lot of energy and physical mobility!!

-- How's your weekend going/what are you up to? I'm sitting here at the computer after returning from my sons counseling appointment.  Ben and my other son (not really, he just thinks he lives here) are making a pizza and my daughters friend came to pick her up for the movies....he was bored. 


-- What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: Hmmmm, I gave up the fat.  I did, honest.  LOL  I gave up smoking 3 months before surgery.  I guess I got my health and that was my goal with this surgery.  I'm able to breath, walk and excercise when before I couldn't. 

-- How's your weekend going/what are you up to? Oooooooo recovering from my illness last week...tying my shoes exhausts me..it sucks!  Oh and eating like a horse to get these five pounds I lost back on... ARGH! -- What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: I gave up sugar and got into a kids size pants lol

How's your weekend going/what are you up to? I had to work this morning, and just got home from Church.  I plan to do some cleaning tomorrow and watch a movie or two at home. What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: I gave up ice cream, candy and refined sugar (something I still wish I could have, but am SO grateful I can't!)  I gained self esteem, size 10 clothes, energy like there is no tomorrow, the ability to do so many things I didn't even realize I couldn't do before, plus a ton of things I knew I couldn't do.

Hello....here goes........ -- How's your weekend going/what are you up to? I had to say goodbye to my daughter Jamie and grandson Nic and grandaughter Grace...they were here for the last 6 days while Nic had chemo at Childrens Hospital in MPLS. They had to go back home to Iowa. I have been lonely and sad since they left.Sure do miss them!!


-- What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: I gave up ice cream.I was an ice cream-a-holic!!! I got my life back in return!!! I can walk and shop and play with the grandkids. I have energy I never expected. I am healthier and happier then I have been in years.Plus I am in a size 2 and 4 jeans!!! Hugs.....connie d

Connie --- I have to say, I was reading your post and read "...and granddaughter Grace" and was confused... I had to scroll back up to your photo and get my face really close because I couldn't believe you are of age to even have grandchildren. HA! In other words.... holy crap... do you look FANTASTIC or what?! lol.

Thank you! You are so sweet !!   Yes, I am older then dirt!!  Believe me it does show! I have five beautiful grandchildren......3 girls 2 boys!! They are the light of my life!! Hugs, connie d

My weekend is going swell.  I started of today with meeting my Aunt for lunch at Red Robin...she also had WLS and has lost 140 and just hit her goal today!  Yay!  Came home and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark with hubby and the boys (the kids have never seen it).  Made dinner.  Just put the kiddies to bed and soon hubby and I will play a game and watch a movie. What did I give up after WLS?  I gave up ice cream and Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi/soda and I feel free from that addiction. (and nearly 80 pounds lighter to boot!) (((Hugs))) Michelle

-- How's your weekend going/what are you up to? Went to a baby shower at noon, then spent a few hours at Dunn Bros with Bailey working on Girl Scout stuff.  Grocery shopped, came home, checked email and OH, and have the Chipmunks DVD playing in the background! -- What you gave up after WLS and what you got in return: I gave up mindless, endless snacking, aches and pains (MOST of the time...), GINORMOUS clothes, and a pretty much constant feeling of self-conscious blech...  In return?  I got a much healthier body, a PLETHORA of FABULOUS FRIENDS, a coffee addiction, and a new outlook on life - one that has me living a LONG, LONG time, enjoying my kids, and their kids, and so on, and so on...
