Good Monday Morning..

Today I am grateful..

For a great weekend..

For self control

For getting to spend time with Stromboli..

For the men that jumped in, so unselfishly, to save my life, when I drowned last year.  When I was spending time with Stromboli I realized had those men not jumped in.  I would not have been able to spend time with him..

For Debra.. Thank you for everything this weekend..  I had a great time.. I love you..

Welcome back!!!  It is so nice to see you posting the Grateful Post.

Remember.... One day at a time.


Today I am grateful....



To know that you are getting better.  I am so glad to see that.

For my best friend Kim.  I had the best weekend I have had in a very long time.... and no partying LOL.

For opening my eyes to things/someone that that has been in front of me for a while.

For learning to love myself.

For a God that doesn't give up on me, even when I do.

For all of my friends and family that care.

For my family.

For strength.

YES ! I agree      WELCOME BACK.....NOT that Vivian didn't do a great job posting  - but this is YOUR thread !!  lol.    Changes are sometimes hard to get over.     Know what I mean?

I'm grateful for the time I get with my dad this year.  I don't think that he is doing all that well - now that I see it for myself...................MANY YEARS OF SMOKING LIKE A CHIMNEY HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON HIS LUNGS.

I'm grateful that I got to see some OLD classmates on Sat night.  Closed some chapters and talked to my BFF about it  - really helped !!  She had NO idea !     

I may be leading someone on to WLS   He's been thinking about it - but he is a CEO of a company and worried about the lifestyle AFTER surgery and his "traveling" eating out.
I referred him to our website for hugs, love and support and knowledge cuz you all are the greatest !!


Friends
Surgery and just life in general !!

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY! 
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Much to be grateful about here.....

Super supportive husband who can't wait for me to scream in excitement when I actually weigh less than him (closing in on a 6 pound gap, down from about a 35 pound gap)

That same supportive husband who exercises with me when I am rip-raring to go, encourages me to exercise with him when I really should but don't feel like it, and let's me get away with a few lazy days when I need them (or have earned them)

Employment - while I'm not overjoyed most days, it pays the bills and I'm happy to have it

The beautiful women I work with who are supportive of my weight loss - the one who knows about WLS and the rest of them who don't

The upcoming 3-day weekend!

The health changes and the avoidance of comorbidities that come with a new life - I was lucky not to have any serious issues that required treatment before, but already I have lowered my resting heart rate by about 50 bpm, and my "normal" bp is now in a low range (still healthy, though).  I'm glad I made the decision to spend the money on WLS BEFORE I qualified medically.

For the wisdom willingly shared by all of you on these boards

High Weight 255 (4/09)  Decision Day Weight 238( 4/2/10)    Surgery Weight 223 (4/19/10)   Goal Weight 135
