What a wonderful concept! Today I am thankful for the life God gave me. He meant for it to be prosperous and healthy and I thank Him for showing me the way to find that again.

This is a small POSITIVE in the grand scale of things, but my rings have not been tight at night since I started this process. In the past, there would be evenings I had to struggle to get my rings off, due to swelling, and that's never a problem now.

What a great thread!

Well medical advances are what I am thankful for. I had Laser Eye Surgery last year and I was really blind as a bat. No really, I couldn't even tell that my cat was on the floor and I would often accidently step on her. But not any more. I can see 15/20 and every day when I drive to work I count my blessings, because I can really see.

This year, I am hopefully having banding surgery and I am thankful for the chance to improve my health. Next year, I am getting braces to straighten out my teeth.

I am really grateful for medical improvements and insurance coverage that allows me to take advantage of these techniques. :cool2:

Tquad---I think you should also be thankful you had your eye surgery done first, if you got banded and braced first, you might have never recognized yourself!!!

I think it is wonderful that you are taking such charge of your life!!GO YOU!!!

great thread~

i'm grateful that i'm going to be running my first 5k on saturday. a yr ago, the only chance you'd see me running is if i was being chased & even then i'd stop & trip the person rather than exhaust myself.

i believe i'm extending & improving my life each day AND can appreciate the small stuff rather than let it exhaust me.

I'm positive today........

I'm getting healthy not only for me but, for my grandbabies, DH and family. I have faith that I'll see them do all sorts of fantastic things. My only DD (36yrs. old) will be getting her Master's next March and I have faith that I'll see her march across that stage.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
