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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
