Good Morning West Virgina,

My affirmations for today are:

I look for good in my life to be grateful for. I make the best of my life.

I am an example to those around me by staying true to my values. 

Have a great day!

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Thank you for the advise and your support. I hope you understand I will most likely ask you a million questions right before and after the surgery! I am really excited about this. Today I was looking and it takes 2 of the weekly pill reminders for my meds. I will be glad to trade them for vitamins! Did you have the bypass or the lapband? How long did the pain last? How much weight did you lose in the first month? Any advise you can give me I will deeply appreciate it!

Thanks Pat, I am happy but nervous and a bit anxious but I am sure everything will work out. My oldest daughter will be watching my little ones and my husband is wonderful, helpful and supportive.  All that will make things easier with this major transition.

I lovce snow and we really didn;t get much over this side of WV.  Today I only saw a wintry mix for like 5 minutes and it turned to rain then it stopped.  Lucky you!
I hope you had a great day.

Hugs,

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Cira - It sounds like you've adapted well to the idea of going back to work.  Six years is a long time.  I returned to work within 2 months of the births of each of my three kids (the youngest of which is 17 now).  It was the hardest thing I ever did.  You'll be in  my thoughts!  My "saving grace" was having a sitter come to my home.  A wonderful lady who thought of my own children as her own grandchildren. 

We've got lots of beautiful snow today!  I'm one of those people that loves the change of the seasons.  I'm staying in this afternoon and enjoying the view!  Hugs, hugs, - Pat

How is everyone doing today?  Come on in and check in with us.  

As for me I am doing good.  Getting ready to go back to the working world as of March 2nd. I will be commuting to work an hour and 15 minutes each way. The money is worth it so I will not mind it.  I used to work for Verizon before and I am finally going back after being a stay at home Mom for 6 years!  Wish me luck!

My husband had RNY August of 2008 and has 30 pounds to reach his goal. His weight is going down slowly but he is a light weight so that is fine. The most important thing is that he is off all his diabetes, high blood pressure meds and off his cpap machine. Yay!  

 

So come on and tell us how you are all doing? Anybody exercising?

Have a great day!

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

Hi Cira

Thanks so much, this has truly been an interesting beginning for me.  I went back to the doctor on Monday so I could have the tubes and staples removed.  I had lost 17 pounds since my surgery.  That makes my total 61 lbs.  I was very excited.  Today is the first day I have been able to attempt to eat.  I had 1/2 scrambled egg and it didn't settle in my stomach too well.  But I am thankful that things have went as well as they have.  I have a lot of nervousness about getting leaks, etc..  but I truly am putting all those things in God's hands, because I know that he brought me this far.  Your posts are very encouraging, thanks so much for that.

Have a great day!
Karen B
