Being human, we are imperfect. That's why we need each other. To catch each other when we falter.
To encourage each other when we lose heart.
Some may lead; others may follow; but none of us can go it alone.
- Hilary Clinton

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Topic: RE: Anyone had allegen band replaced w/Realize?

I wouldn't recommend either of them, personally, Miriam.

A band is a band is a band. The only real difference is the manufacturer...

Allergan vs Johnson and Johnson.

Here's a link with the info about both.

Go with the VSG. It's a much more effective procedure than either band!

Topic: Working Out

I have my date scheduled however I was curious about the recovery time. How long until I am ready to work out again? I have always been an active person and like to work out a good amount, my portions and additional cardio are the problem. However, I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in 2010 and would absolutely love to do it again this year. My surgery is scheduled for 2/21 and the walk is at the beginning of June. But training is an absolute must. Would I be able to walk and work out after the band and how long until then?? Also, if anyone wants to join me in the walk if/when I decide to do it, I would LOVE to have some buddies to do it along with. It was absolutely one of the most amazing things I have ever done in my life.

Sounds like you are doing great. I would not be concerned, but if you are, talk to your doc. Keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: to the future.

I want to join the Kim and Tom and welcome you. Everyone is different,but as Kim as stated, Tom does provide excellent advice. He and Kim have been a great help to me. You will do fine and I understand your feelings of wanting to do something for you. The feeling of a kid at disneyworld sums up how I felt and still continue to feel as I continue on this journey. Every day is a challenging and worth it. Good luck to you.

Topic: THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Morning Everyone,

Our weekend is peeking over the horizon again. Can't believe after tomorrow it will be here again. LOL Today I am grateful for "CHOICES". We ALL make them everyday. Whether they are conscious or unconscious choices. Good or bad choices. I am watching the morning news right now and they were talking about "dieting or eating plans and success." They said it is ALL about choices and exercise to make one successful. I agree 110% but I am also adding in portion sizes to that. I am so grateful for ALL the different choices we can make not just concerning our WLS in our lives but other choices too. It is awesome to have choices in ourr lives. PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and wonderful day today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
