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).

      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.
