What are You Thankful for? Happy Thanksgiving!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone: It is Thanksgiving Day, so what are you thankful for?? I will start by saying:

  1. My health, having health insurance, and being banded
  2. My family, they are always there for me
  3. My friends, give me strength and encouragement
  4. Being employed, when so many people are being layed off
  5. Having a home to live in, when so many are facing foreclosure

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I am thankful for so many things, so to just list a few: I am happy to have my whole family together for the weekend. I am happy that at least I still have my job....my husband got laid off on Friday from his job that he had been at for 15 years. So there goes our health insurance. But at least I had my surgery 2 months ago so I am thankful for that. I am thankful to be in good health as is the rest of my family, currently. ANd last but least, I am thankful for this forum....it has helped me thru so many obstacles. Hope everyone has a wonderful day, and that we all remain thankful even when times are hard.

I am thankful for my children. They are healthy, happy and well adjusted.

I'm thankful for my band, not quite as well adjusted, but getting there.

I'm thankful for my home, drafty as it is, it's mine, and it's home.

I'm thankful for my family. Even the ones that aren't as encouraging.

I am thankful that my band has gotten me down to only 1 pound from goal and a normal BMI in less than one year.

I am thankful that my weight loss has helped me to become healthy and pregnant (afer having a child 16 years ago and thinking I would never have another).

I am thankful to have support through this website, family and friends on this journey that helped me to lose almost 100% of my excess weight and to reach a goal that I never really thought was truly even possible.

I am thankful that for the first time in my life, I will have achieved my New Years Resolutions.

I am also thankful for the usual things, family, friends, employment, health, stability :0).

      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?
