I just posted on my grandmother and how I truly do miss her. I called my mom and cried to her for awhile, then she told me how I should go to church, so that I can someday see my grandmother again and hug her. Well, I hung up the phone and started thinking how I wish my grandma could walk in the door and give me a hug. Well, next thing you know, the office door flung open and the breeze hit my face. This is too weird. Was that my sweet grandma, or did i not shut the door right when I came in. It is soooooo weird, It frightened me at first, but then I thought, if thats my grandma, I have nothing to be afraid of.

I think your grandma just gave you a hug! How sweet... even if you didn't shut the door just right, you made it easier for her to push it open and wrap her arms around you ;)

Have a blessed day!

That IS thought provoking, isn't it!

I'll never forget the time that I was thinking about how much I missed my great - grandma. She was one of the coolest great- grandmas that anyone could have.

She used to let me go down to her basement and pick out a jar of canned cherries, then put what I wanted in a bowl and sprinkle some sugar on top. That was one of the highlights of my visits with her.

Well I had just been thinking about how much I missed grandma, and that night I had the most memorable dream about her.

I was walking by her house with a friend of mine and we were on our way to school. We went into her sunporch and she leaned out the door and said, "Hi sweetie! Where are you 2 headed off to?" And I then told her school, but that I wanted to stop by and say hi to her first. I'll never forget how vibrant the colors were in that dream, and how clearly I remember it all. She had the biggest smile I've ever seen and she was so happy to see me, as I was her.

I remember her giving me a hug as my friend and I left too, and the warmth that I felt during our short visit. I'll never forget that dream, and it makes me believe that my great - grandma is extremely happy in heaven.

Okay, so I call everyone and tell them what has happened to me and I get some believers and some disbelievers. Anyways, last night I started looking through some of my papers, looking for my sons birth certificate since we are traveling to Mexico this week and I found the little printout from my grandma's funeral. I opened it and started to read it, she was born December 22, 1927 and date of death was, June 27, 2001. Isn't that the most incredible thing? She passed away four years ago about the time that happened to me, I knew she had been gone for four years, but didn't know the exact date. Well, I told my husband, today is the 27th right, I'm not confused and he said yes, well, right then and there I knew I didn't confuse things earlier yesterday, MY grandma did come give me my hug. This is so incredible that this should happen to me, I feel so blessed that I was able to experience this. Thanks for responding to my thread, lately I've been feeling pretty depressed about no none responding to my threads. Thanks ya'll.

:bananaI got a hug from my grandma, I got a hug from my grandma...

Thanks Penni, I really appreciate it, especially the pain free recovery part. I'm kind of scared, but as much as I'm scared I want this really bad. So here I go. I'll get my sister in law to take some picures of me, before and after.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
