Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is ready to have a great weekend.    it is raining here in N. Texas and that is a great thing.   We  can use all the rain we can get.    As everyone that reads this post knows this is a post that is to remind everyone of all the things in our lives that we sometimes seem to forget about or just take for granted.   In this world that we live in there is enough negative thoughts going around.    This is a post to post some positive things that happen daily in our lives.    PLEASE feel free to add what you are grateful for today.    Here are a few of the things that I am grateful for today............

For life and health,
For my son and DIL making it home safely from their honeymoon,
For my Faith and answered prayers,
For my WLS and all the available surgeries for you choosing,
For my 3 sons and DIL and my sweet husband of 34 yrs.,
For all the things that I can do since my WLS that I could only dream of doing before,
For my home, the rain we are receiving, for my car,
For Friends and for all the wonderful people here on OH,
For support groups and for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9-10.

Have a fantastic weekend.....Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

very true quote..thanks for sharing!

  Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great week.   I had a stomach virus last night and lets just say it wasn't pretty.   Hope everyone is drinking lots of fluids since our weather is starting to heat up.    It is so easy after WLS to dehydrate so please everyone drink lots and lots of water.    We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.    We all take lots of things for granted and don't even realize it.   I know I am extremely guilty of this myself.    This post is a reminder to everyone that no matter how bleak life seems....it could always be so much worse.    PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for today.     Today I am so grateful for.......

My Faith and answered prayers,
My life and health,
My WLS and all the choices for WLS's for everyone to choose,
My Family and friends,
For my 3 son's and DIL,
For having a home, food to eat, and car that is dependable,
For my husband's job,
For Obesity Help and all the encouraging words spoken on these message boards,
For the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9-10.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Once a month is what I am doing too.That must be standard procedure. I can still "eat anything" too, so the hard part is to NOT eat everything. I never knew my amount of willpower until my banding!

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see you officially on the Losers' Bench in our Winners' Circle!!
