Recommended Posts

Anyone have something happy to share? Any good news is welcome!

Anything made you laugh or smile recently?

happy things only...

Here's one -

Anne jumped on her 2-wheel bike today and took off with NO help :clap2: . She was smiling from ear to ear - as well as laughing and singing to the top of her lungs!

Big milestone in her little life.

Seeing this made me smile - laugh actually.

Your turn!

Not sure it qualifies but after 2 weeks of the beach in Nantucket with 4 kids (you drive right onto the beach there)....I got my trashed truck detailed yesterday....you can only imagine the amount of sand inside........now I can sit down without sand stuck to my legs!

Oh, and I saw my first hummingbird -- ever!

It does seem like the dreary & bad news all comes at once....maybe that's a good thing....so the rest of the time can be happy.......hang in there Paula!

The Lord is providing a house at a VERY low interest rate (3% 1st yr, 4% 2nd year, 5% life of the loan) .....and it's BRAND NEW....so my husband and I are VERY excited!!! It is SO MUCH more house than we thought we could ever afford w/ the low interest rate!!! It should be done in a month.....maybe less!! We also get to watch it being built....very exciting!!! And I got to show it to my best girlfriend last night when she surprised us by coming to town!! Good day yesterday!

Oh.....and I can eat solid food after being on liquids the last 3 weeks!!! Woooohooooo!!!

God Bless,

Melody

Getting a vehicle DETAILED after 2 weeks at the beach leaves a BIG smile on MY face.. and its not even MY truck.

actually - ANYTIME I clean my van I get a smile. But fill-it with sand and heat and kids and all the food & body smells for TWO weeks :omg:...

Yep, I say this definately qualifies for the Happy Thread. :biggrin1:

Eileen, you get the prize for the #1 Happy Comment. That IS the best news one could ever receive! :clap2:

Melody, WOWOW, that IS great interest rates.

But the best news is to finally eat solids, yum. food will never taste as good as it does now.

anyone else have happy news to share??

My daughter is a musician. All during her growing up years, we went to every recital, every concert, even in college. Now she is on her own and we don't get to hear her very often. Yesterday, she and her partner had a picnic gig near our house. I went and was so proud.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
