THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

Happy Pre Friday Everyone,

Today I am so grateful for my internet so I can get on Obesity Help everyday.  I know that sounds "cheesey" but it is the truth.   Every morning when I wake up....I get dressed get a cup of coffee and head to the recliner get my laptop and log on here.  The internet and computers is something i am extremely grateful for.    I am grateful for coffee this morning....it seems to wake me up and my brain too.   Grateful for my WLS and all the choices of surgeries today.    When I had mine almost 8 yrs. ago.....I had choice of RNY or lap band.    My surgeon said lap band wouldn't have worked for me so I chose RNY.    I am so grateful for that choice.   Not that lapband is a bad choice because that's not true...but my surgeon didn't think it would work for me.    Grateful for the honesty of my surgeon.    I hate to read stories of people having a surgery  and then failing.     After all.....I personally think we've ALL had enough failures in our lives due to dieting and failing.    So grateful for my family, life and health.    Grateful for support groups and encouraging people letting us know we are NOT alone in this WLS journey.    Grateful for all the support, encouragement and advice given here on OH.    Grateful for much much more but I will stop here....I think my mind is in overdrive today.   LOL  PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.    Make good choices and have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Isn't it amazing how the internet has taking isolation away from us?  We now can connect with people just like us, whom we've never met in person, but are able to establish good friendships with.  I've been fortunate to have been able to meet many of the folks I've met on OH over the years. 

I love my morning coffee too.  I'm not so sure it's as much the coffee, as the "comfort and routine" it offers me.  I suppose if I drank tea and did that as a morning routine, I'd feel the same about it.

I don't know Jody if I could make it without my computer and internet.   LOL   I've met quite a few people here on OH too but there are more coming daily that I haven't met.    I do LOVE my online friends though.   I do love my 1 cup of coffee every morning.   LOL  I use to drink 2 but my pouch would start to burn and since my pouch is "the boss"....I have to stop at 1.    Thank you for your response and have a wonderful day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
