Topic: WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST
  Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Wednesday to you all.   Hope your having a amazing week.    Gratefulness is a state of mind.  I am ALWAYS grateful for things that come my way ....whether painful or whatever.    It is usually when the painful things come they tend to teach me something that is lacking in my life.   I am not always happy with them....but none the less grateful for every opportunity to grow as a person.    So I am grateful for teaching trials that may come my way.     I am grateful for every breath that the good Lord decides to let me have....afterall we have NO guarantees of that or anything else for that matter.  PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a amazing week.    Thank God mine has been uneventful so far...well since sunday that is.  LOL    We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.   We ALL seem to take things for granted....even if we don't realize we are doing that.    For instance how often do you think....WOW I am grateful for breathing....opening my eyes....hearing the birds chirp and wake me up in the morning.    We have NO guarantees of ANY  of these things.    These are all "gifts" from our heavenly maker everyday.   I am SO grateful for everything thrown my way no matter how painful they may be....because I know that those things are making ME GROW as a person and making me stronger .  
  PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and try to have  amazing day and stay hydrated in all the heat.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Topic: RE: Day 2 liquid diet
Ok I am 2 days away.  I have not been completely faithful to the diet in the sense that my doc's is MUCh stricter than most.  Nothing but Bariatric Fusion and water for 6 days....  I could not do it.  Hubby got me some tomato soup and that helped a lot. I am not a sweet eater so the other things I could have like sugar free jello and popsicles didnt help.  I needed something not sweet.  Tomato soup and beef broth seem to have done the trick.  Still.... I would KILL to CHEW something lol

Topic: MONDAY GRATEFUL POST
  Good Morning OH Friends,

First off....I am glad that it is monday.    From friday afternoon till now was horrible for me.   My middle son was admitted to the hospital for heart and back issues ( he was told 2 weeks ago his kidneys weren't functioning properly ) Thank GOD that wasn't true although what they found wasn't great news but at least all major organs are functioning.    They discovered the back issues were a buldging disk.   I'm going to have to research remedys for that LOL.    So today I am grateful that hopefully my son's health from 13 yrs of drug use is being somewhat restored.    He is out of the Teen challenge program though.    We prayed last week and they said since he had been out on medical leave he would have to re-start his 12 months.   To me that is crazy when you have been sober for 10 months and have NO desire to return to that lifestyle.   I am SO grateful for his additude on that too.    Please keep him in your prayers if  you will.    We still have no resolutions to the heart problems.    He went to a county hospital but NOT the county we live in and his heart didn't mess up while he was there from friday evening till sunday.    So he is going to followup at our county hospital.  PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Thank you for the reply, I orig. had the realize band until it had to be removed due to scar tissue build up.  I was so used to going to this forum, I forgot.  Thanks again and I will heed your advice on following instructions.

Congrats on the revision! As we both know, the band doesn't work out for most bandsters. :-( OH has a failed band group and there are several other failed band groups online that you would like. LOTS of support from ppl that KNOW what you are going through!

Good luck!!!

PLEASE read this before you get the band!!!

Allergan 50% removal complication rate

Now I realize that is Lap-Band and not Realize band, but from my observation, Realize performs no better than Lap-band. :-(

Tom us "band bashers" are in an akward postion. When we tell our experience about the band we are told it's not typical-post stats. When we post stats, ppl disagree with them or get mad.
