I am thankful for...



Recommended Posts

I am SO thankful for my family, my friends, and all the blessing my life has brought me.

I am incredibly thankful that I made the decision to have VSG and the great health and active life it gave back to me with my successful weight loss and maintenance.

I am especially thankful for the lovely connections and friendships I've made on these very forums. Many of you have become real life friends beyond these boards and I am so happy to consider you family.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I'm thankful for my incredible husband. So much to say but not enough room.

Thankful that I'm spending this holiday with my beautiful daughter!

In the shower today I was able to see my 'lady bits' without forcibly pushing my tummy in with my hands. lol.

I'm even thankful for the excess skin now on my inner thighs. Shows I'm losing the fat there!

I'm thankful for the medical professionals who came up with this life changing surgery, and the pioneers who took the arrows to make this happen. I was up this morning, went for a run, back to do a body weight workout using my TRX system and 10 minutes with the kettle ball. What a change.

The family feast is cooking. (I grew an herb garden this year with my daughter, and the sage and basil are really aromatic). The house smells like Thanksgiving. And I will savor the small portion. But the joy is the preparation, the family, my health...not figuring out how to cram a ton of food down my body.

It is funny watching my kids stare while I have ONE greenbean bundle and measure 3 ounces of turkey ;-)

Love the positivity on this post! Thanks @@LipstickLady for starting. So true, so very much to be thankful for. And @@OKCPirate, nailed it by also giving props to all those who came before us, in allowing a team of health professionals to get so many more things right with this surgery, both in technique and pre/post op care. Happy Thanksgiving all!

I am thankful for my family, and especially my DH, for their support over the last year. They prop me up when I struggle and always say how proud they are of me for making a change in my life.

I'm also thankful for all the staff at my clinic and friends I've made throughout this past year. You have been my savior in so many ways.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I'm thankful for an amazing, supportive husband. A job I enjoy and is understanding. The new lease on life this surgery gave me. The CUTEST nephew in the world. The support I receive here. Having a roof over my head, a car to drive, and food on the table (in small bits lol). Fur babies who I love dearly.

And tons of other things!!!!

      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?
