MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

 Good Monday Morning Everyone,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are now ready for a great week ahead.    I know I have a very busy day today.    I am SO grateful for my life since my WLS.    It's hard to believe that it is going to be 7 yrs this coming fall since my RNY.   Life isn't perfect but it is SO much better than before my WLS.    I am grateful for all the choices of WLS available today.   The only choice I had was RNY or Lapband.     Since I LOVE sweets...my surgeon said that Lapband wouldn't  be the right choice for me so I had RNY.    I am SO grateful that I did.      I am also so grateful that my bariatirc surgeon pointed me to OH for support and encouragement.   You guys are ALL AMAZING whether you know it or not.     Support is such a BIG part of our WLS and so are support groups.   I am always amazed though of people who NEVER attend any type of support group at all.    My life would be pretty bad without them.    I always walk away with more knowledge than when I walked into them.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and please have a wonderful Easter week.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 I am grateful for a loving and supportive family. A wonderful husband who was fantastic with replacing a faucet in my kitchen sink over the weekend. He is amazing that way! He makes my life complete. 

I am grateful to my co-workers who are a support group in themselves. With out them I could not be here working everyday. One has taken my photo every Monday for the last three weeks since I came back to work. Wonderful and motivating. 

Thanks for sharing your success too! 

Congrats on your hubs replacing the faucet! I have about 3 in my house that need replacing. I've stopped fighting that battle with The Hubs.

Having such great coworkers is absolutely the best. You're blessed, QT!

I'm grateful that I had my RNY surgery. Sometimes I have to stop & remind myself: You did it, grrl! A dream come true! When I put scar gel on my incision, I tell it "I love you, thank you for my new life, thank you for my new birth day!"  It was a long battle to get my insurance to okay me for RNY. I never cried (& boy, am I a crier  ), but I was so deflated & disappointed at times I almost gave up.

I am so grateful for my handsome, wondrous son. He's a freshman in college (away but not too far away). I saw him this past Friday for the first time in almost a month & it was just such a joy to lay eyes on him,  kiss his cheek, & hug him (although he's so tall I have to reach up Up UP). God really blessed me with that one. Thank you Lord!

I'm grateful for The Hubs. He's annoying, infuriating, maddening, a workoholic, an absent-minded scientist, completely left-brained (meaning no common sense)... but he & I are still together after 26+ years. We've had so many rough patches (especially since my surgery). But somehow, in the evening, there we'll be, watching Big Bang Theory or Foyle's War, & then saying goodnight & I love you.

This marriage thing...  I don't think I'll ever have it figured out. But I'm thankful.

 You are blessed too! Keep up the positive self talk that is wonderful
