A lot less

I haven't tried pizza yet. I agree with Phyllser that the thick crust might be a bit much to digest.

Glad to hear about your friend Candy, isn't God the BEST!!!!!! Jaunderwood glad that you are in good spirits, keep the faith! Glad that everyone is okay today. Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Joyross, I pray for travel mercy and arrival grace. That God would control the hands of the surgeon, a speedy recover and that you would find EVERYTHING safe around and in your home just like you left it. In Jesus' name. Amen

Well, well, well, I am just tickled pink about everyone. Welcome newbies. Have you all heard a song (we use to sing it doing vacation bible school), "The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together the happier we'll be. Cause your friend is my friend and my friend is your friend, the more we get together the happier we'll be". When I saw the new ones, all I could do was praise God for my friends. There is strenght in numbers. I pray for you all. I am so thankful for this thread.

WOW, Wombat, I'm too happy for you.

Nice to have you join us Augusta......Welcome!!!!!! Congratulations on the weight loss.

That's right Diva, the parting knowing that everything has been approved, even if it's put back,it will still happen. There are so many that haven't even made it that far. Every step of the way we can be assured that the father is right there with us. Jaunderwood, keep those reports coming in. :rolleyes2: Chuckles, I went back and read in the other Christian thread that you were from Ill. I have a long time friend that lives in Joilet. Welcome to TX

Stepoffaith, I just really looked at your name and a light bulb went off in my head. "STEP OF FAITH" isn't that what we all need (Romans 12:3). I was too delighted to read your praise report. When I have that kind of peace, it's like it's God's way of telling me, "it's alright". I just smiled when I read about everything and said "you go God". Cindy, how are things going? Thor, give us a report as soon as you feel up to it. Jaunderwood, Gods' delay isn't always his denial. The dr will call, use that waiting time, thanking him for the answer!!!!!!!

Glad to hear all is well with you.:redface:

Ladies, opps and Gentlemen, Do any of you read "Our Daily Bread"? You can read it online. Google "Our Daily Bread" and go under devotionals. They are great and you can read all the previous months.

Jaunderwood, Ps. 37:4-5 Candy, my prayers are already going up for your friend.

Good morning everyone, Welcome Eileen and Ladyroz, Isn't this thread great? We are so blessed to have everyone praying for this board. I prayed this morning and I know that we are going to hear some great praise reports here. Be blessed everyone

Good morning, Yep, I feel like the old "new" me. LOL Sugarbear, I had one (1/2) unfill on Monday evening after I got the fill Monday morning and then I went back yesterday and he did a small unfill. I don't know what size band I have. Lisa, it was the most weirdest feeling I've ever experienced. and believe me I looked just like that smiley face. Everyone was so nice about things. I know that I'm such a baby (55yrs old) and was crying to Lou Ann all the way. I don't know about everyone else, but I think we have the most considering, passionate doctors and staff ever. :frown:

Thanks Sue, I'll be right here to cheer you on.

Cindy, I will began to pray now. God can will bring you through EVERY trial. You have already spoke the words over yourself and you will make it. BP is probably from the other stress that's going on. satan never brings anything new, his stuff is the same old crap, so I say to him and his imps, "Cindy IS covered under the bless of Jesus that died on the cross and rose again for HER, took the keys of hell and death. Take your hands off of her cause she is a child of the mighty and most high God. God's word says, The Lord IS Cindy's shephard and Cindy shall NOT want.... Finish reading Ps. 23rd and make it personal. Give us your praise report tomorrow.

I finally made it to Onederland 199.0

Well, I made a 3rd trip back to get just a smidge more taken out. Guess what???? I had lost 5 #'s :smile: since Monday. I reached "onederland". I feel like ME now. Thanks everyone for your help. Mrs. Betty was so caring and Ms. Debbie gave me hugs. To all that wants to know : Mrs. Betty likes Betty Boop.:smile:

Welcome Jaunderwood, God can and will give us the desires of our heart. Keep praying and I will be in agreement( praying also) with you.

I'm much better Candy, Thanks!!!! Wombat, thanks also for your prayers. I am so thankful for this thread.

LOL,:rolleyes2:

Yes, Thanksgiving was hard for me cause grandkids and DD came home, but for Christmas it was just me and DH. I ruined the ham (not on purpose) cooked it too dry and I didn't cook a whole lot more, so thus, we didn't have a lot of goodies to eat. For NYE's we had brisket, peas and green beans and black-eyed peas are not my favorite and I can take or leave green beans so I feasted on meat. LOL

BTW, I had lost 6 #'s over the Christmas holidays. I was so happy.

Thanks Chimboree, I'm feeling much better now. Ever more so thanks for your prayers. I called DH at work and was crying (55 yr old baby, lol) and telling him to pray. Bless his heart, he said, "I am, just hold on, God's going to work it out". I'm sipping (and I mean sipping) some chicken Soup broth (not the chicken or the noodles) and I haven't slimmed. I am going to drink some H2O later, but not cold. I think that it's just the swelling. I'm such a baby when it comes to pain, when I was younger I had a high tolerance for pain, but now I am a old whimp, but I'm a blessed old whimp, LOL. Again, thanks and you know that I'm here for you when you need me. We are all here for one another, that's why I like hanging around here.

Good morning again everyone, Thanks Hippmom and Lo2us, I feel much better now. I think that I was weak and now I'm sipping (and I do mean sipping) on some chicken mini noodles soup (only sipping the broth) and it's going down slow, but going down. I am still a little weak, but I can somewhat feel my strenght coming back. I think I will drink some water later, but not let it be cold. I haven't slimmed at all so far, so I guess everything is okay. I just didn't know how it feels to be at good restriction. Again, thanks for all your help and concerns. Lisa, now I don't have to worry about staying in the box. LOL I'm happy to say, I lost 6 #'s even over the holidays. Dr. K was impressed. I almost hit the floor cause I thought I had gained.:rolleyes2: Be bless and have a good day.
