  1. PRAYER FOR 2012 by JIM GAINNIE Father we pray over this your body. We pray in the name of Jesus that we prosper and be in health even as our soul does proper. We pray the 23rd. Psalms and we receive Jesus over this house of believers as the great shepherd of our soul. And we pray the 91st. Psalm and say of the Lord that you are our refuge, you're our fortress, our strength, and we dwell in the special place of the most high God. And we place our love upon you. We love you the Lord our God w...

  10. Psalm 100:44 Enter his gates with thanksgiving;go into his courts with praise.Give thanks to him and praise his name. Complaining Is a Sin!In Ephesians 4:29, the apostle Paul instructs us not to use any foul or polluting language. At one time, I didn't realize that this included complaining, but I have since learned that murmuring and complaining pollute our lives.Plain and simple, complaining is a sin! It causes many people a great deal of problems in their lives and destroys the jo...

  11. "The Gun Is Civilization"By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no...

  12. 1 I said to myself, “Come on, let’s try pleasure. Let’s look for the ‘good things’ in life.” But I found that this, too, was meaningless. Ecclesiastes 2:1Let the Good Times RollJerry Seinfeld, that famous philosopher of the nineties, has said, "Everybody is looking for good sex, good food, and a good laugh because they are little islands of relief in what's often a very painful existence." Does that describe you?Constantly seeking pleasure will mean f...

    Update

    I just got weighed in at my VA doctor. I am now down to 367 from 440 in Aug. 2011. My diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver are gone and my blood work is completely normal. I can fit in 3xl tshirts now down from 6xl. I love being banded!!!!!!!
  14. I went in for my 2nd. fill on Tues and it went fine. I am now down to 391 from 440 since Sept. I feel great and look forward to my next fill in 6 wks. I still have to S L O W D O W N when I eat. I may get a timer to make sure I am taking 20 minutes to eat. Other than that I am happy to face Christmas confidently knowing that I can control my eating with the help of my band.

    Down 40 lbs.

    Since my banding on Sept 21st. I have lost 20 lbs. That makes my total weight loss at 40lbs. I went to my VA doc and she said my A1C is now at 6. She told me that I am off of all diabetic meds and am now considered not diabetic. Thanks to GOD for this progress.
  16. Had my first fill yesterday. it went smoothly. I am now down to 397. That has not been the case for over 10 years.

  17. I am feeling better and the full feeling has not left yet. It is hard to force down the protein shakes since I feel full all the time, but I manage. The gas has finally left my shoulder area. It does hurt to cough or sneeze where they located my port, but it is not too bad. i will report next when I start on soft food in a few days. So far so good
