I am thankful for...

[LipstickLady 25,682]

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!

Mostly, I am THANKFUL for my beautiful GRANDCHILDREN, who's ages are 21yo to my youngest of 9 years old. Each of them brought something special into my life!! I will be ETERNALLY grateful for each and every one of them. I am thankful for my new lease on life. Feeling GREAT and doing well. I am thankful for the support groups that I can go to and ask ?'s that I might not ask someone who hasn't gone thru the same as I have. Thank You all and have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!

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.

You are ALL amazing. <3

[rolosmom7 740]

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'm late to this one, but I just want to say how thankful I am for this new community here on Bariatric Pal. Everyone, to a person, has taught me something and I value you all greatly <3
