Wasn't able to log in yesterday-- too busy. Worked all day training someone to work my desk the next 2 days. She did pretty good, but nervous about talking to people on the phone... thought all young people enjoyed talking on the phone! DH's surgery is tomorrow morning. Our boys got in Monday evening. so guess we are ready!!! Keep us in your prayers & thoughts.. I will update when I can....

Good Wednesday Everyone,
Today I am going to change things up a little bit. Since I'm usually listing things everyday that I am grateful for.....i decided today to list things that I am grateful that I can now do since my WLS. If you are pre- op and want to list things you are grateful that you can do....list things that you are looking forward to doing after your WLS. Today I am grateful that I can stand up for hours and not start hurting in my lower and upper back after standing 10 minutes, grateful to fit in booths at restaurants, fit into any restroom stall, bend over and tie my shoe from standing and sitting as well, cross my legs, walk and not get tired or short winded, fit into any size car, ride on a airplane without a extender belt, find cute clothes, don't mind having my photo taken, that I can get up and down off the floor without assistance, get off any chair and fit in any size chair, paint my own toe nails and many many other things. Sorry I'm working on my first cup of coffee and can't think till it and I'm on my second cup. LOL Not really but just have ran out of things this early in the AM. PLEASE share if you'd like what your grateful that you can now do since your WLS. Have a blessed wednesday.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

What I look like when I take my shirt off! 
Survived the perio yesterday and made it to Council Meeting last night. Ran out of time before I could get any walking in. Try to get that done today when I get home.
Go make the best of it!
Good Tuesday Everyone,
I saw this today when looking for my Motivational Quote to post and thought it was fitting to post here. With gratitude, all life appears as a blessing - without gratitude, all of life is perceived as a burden. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie I love this man's quotes. Anyway....Hope your having a great week. Mine has been so so. I am Grateful everyday when my eyes open no matter how crazy my life is going at the time. I am grateful for all the blessings that God is allowing in my life and I am also grateful for the bad things....they will direct me in the way that I should go and sometimes prevent bad things from happening. Grateful for God and my faith and answered prayers. Grateful for family, friends, life, health, my WLS and Obesity Help. Grateful for these message boards and all the amazing helpful people on them. Grateful for another day to make better choices than yesterday. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day !!!

Am I ever! Yesterday l-o-n-g day with drive back.
Best thing about today will be 1/2 day at work since going to periodontist in Tyler.
2nd best thing is getting coffee at one of my "local" Starbucks. In poor organization of work task the Sbux at Port Author was working on a huge call-in order while people were WAITING! They were concentrating on the fraps and other cold drinks ignoring those of us waiting on hot drinks. After waiting fifteen minutes and a raising small stink, going to register to get refund put back on my card, finally got my two coffees. When does a Sbux ever do a call in order? Never heard of such.
Work, perio and walking if I can are 1,2 & 3 today.
Go do your thing!
it's a little after Noon, but just now got a chance to get in. Weekend was good. Got alot done. Sons will be here later today. So, will be cooking dinner tonight for my boys!!! Can't wait to see them. They will stay till Friday or Saturday after DH's surgery Thursday. Youngest son will have to be back on base in Colorado Springs by Midnight Saturday. I wish they could stay longer, but just glad both are able to be here. Hoping this afternoon flies by.
