Good Morning Everyone,

Life is good.   Life is a journey and we make the choices that make our lives good or great or bad for that matter.     The choice is ours.    We can dictate which way our life will be headed by our choices. Some who have WLS revert back to their old habits when they loose all their weight....that is a choice that THEY make.    We can't say that the surgeries don't work because whether we keep our weight off or not is OUR choice.    Life is full of choices....if we make good choices for a lifetime after WLS we probably will not have a regain...if we let life get in the way and open the door to "old habits" then we will gain weight...sometimes if we don't stop making bad choices we can regain all the weight back and sometimes even more.    If you are struggling...PLEASE journal your food....start to walk and make a choice to go back to the gym.    The choice is YOURS !!!!   So today I am grateful for choices.   I am grateful for my WLS and my life.    This is for ME and whoever else needs it today.   I needed to see this in black and white today.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and make it a great day !!!

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you have a amazing week.   I am having my yearly labwork done on wednesday.  Today I am SO grateful for my WLS and the life that I now have due to my choices.    Life is not perfect so please don't think it is but it is 110% better than before my WLS.    I am also grateful for all the choices of WLS that everyone has today.    If I had to do it all over again.....I'm sure I would have chosen the surgery that I had.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

  Good Morning,

I found this today and thought that I would share it with everyone.....
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light,
for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks,
the fault lies in yourself.

This is something that I have already done today.    Today and everyday I am so grateful for so many things in my life.   My health and my WLS toward the top of the list.   My life...family...friends....home and my husband's job....my Faith and my creator which is pretty much at the top of the list and everyday that the big guy upstairs chooses to let me remain on this earth.     My Grateful list could go on and on.   I am GRATEFUL for this list and everything and everyone on that list.    PLEASE share if you'd like what you are grateful for today and have a blessed weekend.

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you've had a great week.   Friday is peeking over the horizon today.  LOL   Today I am grateful for something very simple.    Coffee;     Not sure how many of you are like me.   I wasn't a coffee drinker except in the winter when we went out to eat breakfast till after my WLS.     The world would end ( not really but seems like it ) if I didn't get in my morning coffee.    That seems to get my body's motor going and makes my brain kick start everyday.  LOL   I'm grateful for so very many things in my life but coffee in the AM seems to come to mind this morning especailly since I am drinking my first cup today and it tastes amazing !!!    Please share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a amazing pre friday everyone.

Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian
