Good Friday Everyone,
Hope you all survived the eating challenge yesterday. I did OK....didn't over do it at all. Today I am grateful to be in my warm home and not out running around trying to get "deals" on things that we don't need. LOL Grateful for the time spent with my oldest son's family yesterday and getting to watch my 15 month old granddaughter laugh and have fun. Grateful for God's blessings in my families lives. Grateful for holidays although they bring challenges with all the rich and fattening foods that we aren't use to eating and shouldn't be eating them anyway. Grateful for family time and everyone getting along. Grateful that Thanksgiving is over and now 3+ weeks till the Christmas holiday. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Welcome Musicteech,
I take it you are a music teacher. I am Vivian that Saundra was speaking of. My group meeting is held in Keller. My meeting is held at Carroll Watkins Driving School....303 N. Main Keller, Tx. 76248. We meet for 1 hour from 3:30 - 4:30. You are welcome to attend if you'd like. I am a RNY Patient 8 yrs post op so I truly can't give you a accurate time that you'd be out but teaching music ( if that is what you do ) I would think you might be able to go back....you could try it anyway as long as you don't lift anything heavy. Welcome to the Texas Message Board and good luck getting your things in order for surgery.
Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

Self-care is critical to having a strong inner foundation.
Taking good care of YOU means the people in your life
will receive the best of you rather than what is left of you.

Hello. I went to a couple of WLS seminars & yesterday I had my consultation with the Dr & his nurse. I've been wanting surgery for about 20 years but was too afraid cuz it was new & they only did RNY back then. I am soooo ready for my WLS. I have another appt on Jan. 8 so I've gotta do a psych eval, meet with a nutritionist & have a fitness eval by then. I'm looking to schedule my sleeve during Spring Break.
is one week enough recuperation time? Are the protein drinks tasty? Nervous about going back to work on an all liquid diet. Still having a hard time wrapping my head around no sodas, no fried foods & no sweets.
Highest wt 353 (Sept. 2013); surgery wt (June 17, 2014) 336; Current Wt 250.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE,
Hope you all have a amazing Thanksgiving. Word of encouragement and reminder for a successful meal today. REMEMBER this is only 1 day and more and likely 1 meal. Send left overs home with your guests if the meal is at your house. Eat off a small plate ( that way you won't feel cheated by not enough food ). If you want dessert....take a bite of someones our just take a tiny tiny piece of whatever and get away from it. Our Dec. support group is scheduled to meet this coming sunday. YES I do know that this is shopping weekend but my meeting is ONLY 1 hour long so....if you can go to Starbucks for coffee and relax....go to my meeting for encouragement instead and go through a drive through and get your coffee on the way. Be grateful today for all the blessings that God has given to you and your family. There are SO MANY hurting people in this world hurting at this time of year. Have a super blessed Thanksgiving and I hope to see you on sunday. PLEASE let me know if you plan on attending.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good Thanksgiving Everyone,
I know that since WLS LOTS of you are probably stressing out over the meal and what you eat today. PLEASE do NOT do this. Remember this is only 1 day and probably 1 meal at that. As a person who is 8 yrs. post op WLS.....I try to tell my support group this every year. Remember today to eat off a SMALLER plate....chew your food well......if you want to try a dessert....take just a bite not a huge piece. Those are some suggestions that I do that I am sharing with you. I wish you ALL a very blessed and very grateful Thanksgiving day. Reach out to someone who is less fortunate than yourself or someone who is hurting today. LOTS of people have lots of pain ( in their hearts ) this time of year due to a death of a friend or family member or something that happened around the holidays. Be loving and patient to these people. Today I am grateful for God first....the BEAUTIFUL sunrise that I saw when I walked outside to get my newspaper this AM. Grateful for family, friends, my faith, answered prayers, my WLS and weight that I have kept off for 8 yrs. Grateful for my OH Support group and especially for Obesity Help and all that they have brought to my life since and before my WLS. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving -
I have gratitude for EVERYTHING
that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.
I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings,
the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,
the compassion and the indifference,
the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.
I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.
