Good Friday Everyone,

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend. This week totally flew by IMHO. I am SO ready for spring and for our winter to finally end. Seems like it lasted longer than it usually does. We ALL have so very many things in our lives everyday to be grateful for. My list gets longer and longer every single day. I am so grateful to have a good friend who had WLS and told me about her surgery about 10 yrs. ago. She kept telling me to check and see if our insurance covered it. I did check and it was covered....and then I went to my PCP and got a referral to a surgeon and went to Seminar and then put it off for almost a year before making a appointment with him and getting the ball rolling. I wish that I hadn't waited but it is what it is. I am going on 9 yrs. post op and I've never looked back and reheated my decision to have WLS. I am SO grateful to have went on and had surgery, Grateful for my family, friends, health, my life although it is far from perfect it's still my life. Grateful for God and for answered prayers and for my faith. Grateful for my OH Support Group and for Obesity Help being such a huge part of my life during this WL journey. Grateful for the positive changes that has taken in my life because of my WLS. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today....doesn't have to be weight related unless you want it to be. Have a blessed and safe weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good morning 

Don, enjoy your road trip.

I am packed and about ready to head into office.  Flight leaves around 3ish so get a half day in before I head to airport.

No real plans for the weekend besides Church on Sunday.

Have a great weekend!

tonight is DH late night to work.. So, I'll be doing laundry and maybe a trip to Walmart.  Never made it Saturday for groceries....Work is slow today.  But big boss is hanging around today, so need to look busy!  haha -- hard to do when the phone isn't ringing... Was out doing errands a while ago-- it's so nice out.  Didn't want to come back in to work...

Good Thursday Everyone,

Happy Pre-Friday Y'all !! I'm going to change up the Grateful Post a little bit today. I'm going to list some of the things that some seem to take for granted after their WLS has been done for a year or so. Things that before our WLS we "dreamed " of doing that seemed impossible that our WLS gave back to us and enriched our lives. Here is my list....Grateful for normal size clothes, getting in and out of any car with ease, getting up out of a chair without assistance, fitting into a restaurant booth and public restroom stall without the wheelchair logo on the door. I can get up off the floor without crawling to a piece of furniture for assistance, bending over and picking something up off the floor, polishing toe nails, tying shoes, exercising, walking and not getting out of breathe, wrap a "normal" size towel around me after a shower, crossing my legs, feeling great about the way I look in clothes.....I could go on and on about what having my WLS has given back to my life but I will stop with these. If you haven't had your WLS yet or you are just looking into having one done. PLEASE consider these things.....I am over 8 yrs. post op WLS and it was the very best decision I've ever made for me. PLEASE share what your grateful that you can now do if you wish and have a Terrific Thursday !!!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good morning

Did not sleep well last night, woke up and could not go back to sleep. 

About to bundle up and head to office.  Dinner after work and TV watching are my plans for tonight.

Have a great day!
