Happy Thanksgiving Everyone



Recommended Posts

Well. We had a wonderful day at my brother's house. Lots of food, laughter and love. Then, we have the inevitable toddlers with their fingers in the door, or Mimi getting stung by a wasp. But, all in all, it was a great day. There were 32 of us there, not counting the two brand new babies. I am so fortunate to have such a large and loving family. I'm posting a few pics I've been playing with since I got home.

What beautiful pictures Leatha!

We had a great time too! Everyone noticed my weight loss and it really made me feel good. I ate more food than I planned on eating, but all in all didn't do too bad I guess. This was the first time we had a cajun Thanksgiving, and everything was so good.

Now, Leatha, that's what Thanksgiving is about...family, love, and blessings! What beautiful pics! I think you should frame that black and white one for a Christmas present. Just beautiful!

I agree! Beautiful pics. It's always so sweet to see a man hold a baby with such love and tenderness.

Yep. I love that black and white one too. It just warms my heart to see my older brothers have 'sensitive' moments. I do plan on having several printed and framed. Thank you!

Great pictures, Leatha! I love the effects you used as borders. We had a lovely day with our children and my parents and aunts. We managed to get our house together and bought a new kitchen table to boot. I am VERY happy with all the work we did on the house, but it sure tuckered me out. I'm looking forward to having company now that things are more accomodating around here. :)

AWwww Leatha! Great pics. TY for sharing them with us. You did a great job with the borders.

Our Thanks Giving was great but uneventful. No PBs Thanks Giving Day so that alone makes it a good day. We ended up having my bro-in-law over this turkey day. He's single now Leatha! And it's not the one I talked to you about before. This one is a true sweet heart. I wish you could meet him. If I was'nt already married and if he was'nt in his 50's I'de marry this cute fellow in a heart beat.

Well, TTFN ladies....gotta go to church

Betty, hope you dont mind me posting this on your thread!

We are back from the in-laws - a week at staying in N. Carolina! Over all it was a wonderful week.

MIL noticed my weight loss immediately, we just told her it was the low-carb diet. She wasnt "skinny skinny skinny" like she told me she was, she actually had put on some weight since the last time I saw her (whatever!!!).

And my secret was safe (being banded) thanks to my 3 kids. To make time go buy between bites I would get up and tend to my kids - get them more food, wipe dirty hands & faces, clean spills, etc.

So, my secret is still a secret. Noone noticed!!!!!!!!

On Thurs. night, I felt very compelled to tell my SIL - so I did. She just smiled and hugged me and told me how good I looked and then we started talking about something else. And she agreed that it was a good thing that MIL didnt know!

Anyway, just wanted to let all of you closet bandsters know that you can really REALLY keep this thing uncover if you choose to! Even during the holidays while you are camping out at the in-laws... :)

Welcome home Paula! I'm really glad everything went well. I'm even more glad your MIL noticed YOUR weightloss. That's a score for you! :D Congratulations!

Paula, I am so happy for you. I know first hand how difficult MIL's can be. You were very clever, tending to the kids and such. Way to go!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
