City Christmas dinner not that bad last night. In, ate, take a group picture and out in about an hour. BBQ was quite good and I'll confess to eating a literal inch and a half square piece of chocolate cake to be sociable. Despite my divergence scales were still kind this morning.
Needless to say I'm not one of the two people who won the Powerball last night so I have to go to work today. Nerts. Plan is to catch some treadmill time too when I get home.
Go do your thing!
Hi everyone! missed checking in yesterday.. weekend -- well got most of my shopping done, fur baby groomed and my nails done. Was a busy couple of days. Pray for me-- I have been having pain in my left leg/knee. I had knee replacements 2 1/2 yrs ago (both knees). Never ever had any pain or problems... and now I had to pull the cane out of the closet! Have an appt. tomorrow morning with the knee Dr. So hopefully he can figure out what is up !! Not a good time to be limping around.. My scales are also at the top of my range.. but I think most of it is caused by the swelling in my leg. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.. enjoy the Christmas parties!!!

Good Morning
Work is back on my agenda. I didn't quite finish my shopping, realized I forgot to get gift card for one my nieces and still have not figured out what to get my dad.
My Sunday School class meeting is tonight so DH is on his own for dinner.
I have got to get the numbers on the scales down, I am at the top of my goal and have NO wiggle room.
Have a great day!

Good Tuesday Everyone,
Hard to believe that one week from today is Christmas Eve. WOW time is passing quickly IMHO. We ALL have so very much to be grateful for everyday of our lives. One thing I am really grateful for is that this year is almost over. This has NOT been a good year for me at all. I've gone through lots and lots of personal issues and it seems like just now things are finally settling down. I do not ever want another year like this one. It has been very emotionally and physically trying on me and one of my sons. I am grateful for it though because my son's eyes have been opened to a certain extent about some people that he was allowing in his life and that you can't always trust people and what they say. Big lesson for a 28 yr old to learn. Grateful and hopeful for the upcoming new year and all the promises that it will bring to my family and everyone else. Grateful for my WLS, the Christmas Holiday, family, friends, my precious granddaughter, all the things that I have been able to do since my WLS and those things that I now take for granted everyday. Grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing people here always ready to help someone and encourage them in their WLS journeys. Grateful for the staff who work for OH and never get any credit on these message boards. Ive met some of them in the past at OH Conferences and they are true blessings in our lives even though we never see them. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and amazing day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Eight days and counting....
Work and "formal" Christmas party tonight. Will have to put on my "happy face". 
Be careful out there today!
Hi There! I am a newbie as well. I live in Tomball, right at 249 and Louetta so I don't think we are very far apart. If you don't mind me asking, who was your Lap-Band Doc? I know my current surgeon has a lot of negative reviews but he is a friend of a friend so I have not had too many issues like others.
I am having my Lap-Band to RNY revision in 2 days on the 18th... so excited but a bit nervous as well. Best of luck to you!
Good morning
Had a great weekend. Christmas luncheon with support group was great plus the food was good. Had some girl time with sisters and cousin in Sulphur Springs and had a good visit with dad.
Today I plan to finish up Christmas shopping, buy groceries and address and mails dads Christmas cards.
Scale not kind this morning.
Have a great day!

Good Monday Everyone,
Hope everyone had a good weekend and are ready to begin a amazing week. I have so much in my life to be grateful for everyday as all of you also do. We choose to be grateful for the things in our lives everyday. Today here are a few of the things that I am grateful for today. Grateful for my life, my WLS and all the choices of surgeries, grateful for my husband and family, grateful for his job and that he has allowed me to be a stay at home mom while my boys were growing up and to be a homemaker after that. Grateful for my one and only granddaughter, for my faith in God and for answered prayers, grateful for my youngest son who is a youth pastor and music minister and who is making his dreams come true everyday, grateful for my other two sons, oldest who is looking into going to law school, and my middle son. Grateful for freedom of speech and for living in a free country. Grateful for Obesity Help who has been my rock and support for over 9 yrs. now. Grateful for Christmas time and grateful for you who are reading my posts. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
