Grateful for today......
My husband and the rest of my family
My renewed sense of self-esteem
The loss of 40 pounds (and still losing!)
The fact that when my son saw me last weekend(first time since August), he did not recognize me when I came to the door.
That OH website has such compassionate members

Topic: RE: Help!!! Extremely frustrated
Everything you said hit home to me (except I am still dealing with constant hunger: but I AM drinking more water..a new kidney infection has occurred again). I used the word ONLY once before and you told me the exact same thing you just posted. I have not used that word since then. I am proud of what I have accomplished thus far and I have better self esteem then EVER BEFORE in my whole life! I just had a dietitian visit and discovered I have lost 3.8 pounds in the last 4 weeks! And I thought I would have gained! BUT...the number does not matter, right Tom?

Topic: Dr. Visit
Hello everyone
Hope all of you are having a great day. Just got back from my family Dr. and he was very happy on how far I have come already. He kept looking over at me and telling me he could really see a difference. According to him my face is very skinny now. Im going to take that as a compliment. LOL. I had my first fill last week and I really dont feel any restriction but Dr. T said it might take a couple of fills befor I would. I'd rather be loose then to tight to hold anything down so I'm ok with that.Well have a good day and keep losing!!

Topic: WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST
Morning Everyone,
Hope everyone is having a great week. Mine has been alright. Life has settled down to normal now since the wedding is over. This is a post to remind everyone of how much in our lives that we have to be grateful for...sometimes it is just little things that we take for granted such as waking up and feeling great. PLEASE feel free to share with us what you are grateful for today. Today I am grateful for.....
My Life and health,
For waking to cooler weather but it won't last long,
For my husband and 3 sons and daughter in law,
For my Faith and answered prayers,
For my WLS and all the other WLS choices available,
For Obesity Help and all the information available here,
For Support Groups and all the encouragement and information you get at them,
For life in general,
For upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La, Sept 9-10.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

"You are the only one that can change anything about your body. If you are fully not satisfied with your body, you have time to change it. But don't wait too soon because you may run out of time Trust me, if you are fully committed to this goal, you can do it. you will like the changes that you see." :)

Topic: RE: Questions about Realize Band
My Realize band was put in place in March. The doctor wants to see me once a month. The first month I got 5.5 cc fill. The second fill was 2.0 cc. I don't have restriction yet, and can eat anything.
Topic: REPOST: WLS GRADUATES!
I wanted to inform the locals in Richmond VA (or any other surrounding area residents willing to travel) that I have started up a weight loss support group for 3 years+ post-op graduates with our esteemed Mary D. by my side. I’m hosting the group through www.meetup.com. The group can be found at http://www.meetup.com/RVAWLSGrads. Please contact me privately if you are unfamiliar with Meetup and need help accessing the site, setting up a profile and joining the group.
Meetup is JUST what it sounds, a place where interest groups join together and create “meetups", aka events, to join together with like minded individuals. I’m an Asst-Organizer for two other groups on Meetup and find it to be a wonderful way to network locally and meet new people.
I hope to see a great response and to begin, I will be hosting the support group out of my home. As we get our membership numbers up, we will be offering all kinds of different meetups to include other meeting locations around Richmond, group exercise activities, social time on the town for eats, coffee, etc. ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME. SO CONTACT ME TO GET INVOLVED!
