Woo Hoo....IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY !!! For some strange reason this week has gone by pretty slowly but it is finally almost the weekend. We ALL have so very much to be grateful for in our lives everyday. Today I am so grateful for my family, friends, WLS and all the surgeries today to choose, my health, my faith in God, and answered prayers. Grateful for all the things I can do now since my surgery that I couldn't do 9 yrs ago. Grateful for Obesity Help and support groups which give you encouragement as you travel this WLS journey. Grateful for all the support and questions answered here on Obesity Help. Grateful for all the amazing people I've met because of Obesity Help. PLEASE share if you will what your grateful for today and have a amazing weekend.

Morning Saundra,

Sorry I didn't get a chance to come back on OH yesterday after I did my posts and jump on the train.    I truly had planned to get on the train but I got a really early start yesterday and you hadn't started the train yet.    For the last couple of days I've been doing protein shakes trying to get back on track with my eating.    UGH It's hard when you want to get a re-gain off and can't seem to get back in control eating food.    I hopped on the scale this AM and I've lost 3.5 lbs.   WOO HOO....I've got more to go but at least that's a start.   Not sure what my weekend will bring other than my granddaughter's 2nd birthday party tomorrow.   Hope all goes well with your hubby opening his store.    Have a blessed weekend.

Good morning everyone!  Yes, I'm back from vacation.  Actually got back Saturday.  But this week at work has been so crazy. Took me a couple days just to get everything caught up and back in order!  Today is a much calmer day, so far.  No plans for this evening.  DH has to work, so guess its me & the fur baby watching TV.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Happy Pre-Friday Everyone,

Hope your having a great week and looking forward to a amazing weekend. We ALL have so very much to be grateful for everyday of our lives. Our being grateful shouldn't depend on if life is going great for us or not. We should be grateful to God everyday that we woke up from our sleep, that we have our health and that we have a sound clear mind. Today I am so grateful for my WLS, Obesity Help, my family and friends. For my bariatric surgeon who I think is totally amazing and who is not only a amazing talented surgeon but also a very caring man for his patients well being. Grateful for support groups, both Obesity Help support groups and that my surgeon has support groups each month for his patients. Grateful for my health, that I got back on track yesterday and did liquids and I plan on doing protein shakes for at least a week to get all the junk ( carbs ) out of my body. Grateful to God in my life and for his answered prayers and for what he's doing in my life and in others in this world. Grateful for Life itself and even grateful for my struggles because they often teach me valuable lessons. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed Thursday.

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Hope your having a good week. Seems like this week is going by very quickly at least for me. I'm on board with that. LOL Yesterday was my precious granddaughters 2nd Birthday. She's having a party saturday early evening. We have so very much to be grateful for everyday of our lives. If you've had WLS already I KNOW you have lots to be grateful for and if your waiting for surgery....you just wait till the pounds start melting off and you get LOTS of energy and start feeling amazing !!! I'm going to continue with my posts on what I'm grateful that I can do since my WLS for a while longer. If you want to share just general things your grateful for then that's fine as well. Today I am so grateful that I can get up off my sofa without assistance.....wrap a regular size towel around my body.....that I can bend over without feeling like I'm going to loose my balance. That I can buy clothes pretty much anywhere and that I actually leave store purchasing something rather than going to my car and crying because I couldn't find anything that fit my body. Grateful that I can sit on the floor and get up with ease....have my car's steering wheel down instead of up ( Like a truck driver ).....Grateful my stomach isn't into the steering wheel like before my WLS. PLEASE share if you wish and have a amazing day !!!
