A lot less

Lo2us, didn't you get too tight at one time? Did you get some taken out? Did you still have to sip until the swelling went down? Sorry to ask so many ??'s. Hippmom, I'm at wk, and I don't have the # at the office. I just feel different.

Good morning, I need your prayers this morning (I'm at wk). I went in for a fill and slimmed all day. DH took me back in and they took 1/2 out, it felt better, but when we started back home I started slimming again, DH park the car at a gas station and started praying for me. I slimmed a few more times and went to bed. I tried drinking some broth, and went to sleep. This morning, I sipped warm tea and thanks be to God, I didn't slim. I am slowly sipping H2O now. I feel okay-different, but okay. I think that I'm just scared because of the different feeling of feeling tighter that I ever have. The dr said to take it easy for a few days (usually it's 24 hr liquid, then 24 hr mushies). He said to do 2 days of liquid and later if I can tolerate mushies, then do those. Please pray for me. Thanks in advance. :tongue:

Good morning everyone, I need your help NOW. I had a fill yesterday and it was a bit much, slimmed all day, then went back and they took half out. I slimmed a bit going home, but went to bed and I haven't slimmed this morning. Drinking hot tea and sips of water. I feel so different. I know that my stomach is probably swollen. It's a different feeling and I'm taking it easy today and tomorrow, drinking H2O, cause I don't want to dehydrate.

Bizzy Big, Chimboree and Chuckles, The word does say that God Shall supply ALL of our needs according to his riches in Glory. We walk by faith and NOT by sight. The way we see things in the natural are not necessarily the way they are in the spiritual rim. My prayer is that God will bless you abundantly on this journey of life ( health, finances,etc). He brought you this far and he is more than able to complete it. Chimboree, God will give you that husband, be specific with him, he does also gives us the desires of our heart. God sent me a DH, hard working man that takes good care of me. I do work and I am independent with a DH. I'm very thankful for the God I serve. His Mercy and Grace kept me when I was out there rolling in the "pig pen" of life. LOL Please all of you, Be encourage.

Jelbel, Maybe that's what was wrong with me this week-end (protien bar I ate). I had to go to a funeral Saturday afternoon and I had gas the whole time. Glad I was with relatives and they understood. Glad the music was loud, thus they didn't hear it.

Cold here outside and freezing to me inside. DH is sweating bullets, but he wouldn't dare lay a finger on the thermastat. Keep clothes on after work, when I use to just put on a lightweight robe.

I had a talk with DH last night about the junk food in our home and we both agreed that I didn't need it and he's a diabetic and most he shouldn't have as well. Most of the junk food we had I took to my students at school and now they think I'm the most coolest person on campus. I find that they tell me more things than I really need to know. LOL Everyday, they ask what will I bring the next day. Thankfully it's just about gone, except the ice cream. I'm saving that (only about 3 or 4 mouth fulls).

LOL, too cute, Ceradad. They are so innocent and full of life. Such words of wisdom. I'm honored to know parents that are still teaching their lil ones about our saviour. God gave them to us to protect ,teach and love them, that's why I cringed every time I read, see or hear about someone mistreating them. I read a car bumper once that said "Warning, precious cargo on board" , they had a child in the back seat. Don't you know when we come to him (God) innocent as a child and full of love, just plain old humble and praising him for just being WHO he is, his heart melts just like everyone of us does when our child/ren, neices/nephews or grandchildren come to us giving us praises. Okay, sorry to chatty so much,I got caught up in the moment, but I do love to visit here. To God be the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone, Welcome Dawn and Chuckles (I like the name, lol). Hope evryone had a nice Christmas. Lisa, I think I read that we are having a mtg next Monday in MP, will you be there? Have a blessed day all, and stay in the box or at least near it.

Has anyone seen Lapbandfan and Hollyberries? They haven't been here in a while. I hope all is well with them.

Welcome back ,Wombat, missed you.

opps, I meant I do know that it's cold here. I don't know how to work the "edit thing".:tt1:

I think that was a joke. LOL At least I hope so. I do it's cold here. My DH always says, "it's colder than a well diggers end". My guess is he means that the digger is digging a well and has his end up. Go figure:smile:, he's 56 going on 80. LOL

Candy, I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage. I pray that God puts that spark back in your marriage. We always know that God is with us ALL the time, but I don't know about others, but I like a human touch once in a while(LOL). My marriage is not the world greatest, we have "our" issues, mostly cause I'm losing weight and I secretly thinks that DH thinks that I'm going somewhere-he said that he didn't trust me. I've never given him a reason not to trust me, but I am here til death does us part. He's a hard worker and a great provider. Our marriage is sort of new. My 2nd and his 3rd (one died). Hang on in there cause he might STILL loves you. I'm glad that you are feeling better though. Pleasantlake, thanks so much for your prayers. I can use all of them, LOL Congratulations on your weight loss. You are so right about being patient, cause I want my weight gone like yesterday:biggrin: and with the band I'm learning to be just that-----PATIENT. God bless you all. Wombat, where are you?????????:tt1:

If I had a MP3 player or a Ipod, my playlist would be: Christian music (too many to list) Kenny G (most of his songs) and some "old school" But for now, I just hum my songs. LOL

Congratulations to you and of course, James!!!!!:pray2:

Good morning Gh0st, I understand all so well. When my EX DH and I got divorced, my ds thought when ppl said that he looked like his father, he thought that it meant that he would BE like him. I finally explained to him the difference, but of course he was a little older than your ds. How ironic because my grandson's name is Christian, LOL. Maybe you can pray the prayer in a different way like: Lord, please help me (Brian) to be the man that you created me to be. To be "christ-like" (which does mean christian) and to do your will all the days of my life. Bless his heart, they can be so innocent. Someday, when he's all grown and living for the Lord, you can tell him about this. I'm sure you all will look back and smile about how he was so innocent and precious.

Good morning everyone, Praises be to God, for surely this is the day that the Lord has made and we WILL rejoice and BE glad in it. Candy, I think WE can all relate to set-backs in life. But these are to be expected. God knew this ,so that's why when Jesus went back to heaven, he sent the comforter. The comforter to guide and direct us. Our children ARE our children, but when they become adults, they are not "children". Your daughter IS grown and she IS responsible for getting herself up to go to school, work, or ETC. Most parents would have wanted their ADULT children GONE. She is so blessed to even have both parents IN the home, let along STILL married (however the sleeping arrangements are). Don't let the devil STEAL your joy. Do you want your marriage to work? You didn't say. We will all be in agreement with you on any situations that may occur or has occurred. The strong shall bear the infirmities for the weak. Be blessed today my sister and know that today IS a new day, a day to start all over. Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning. Chuckles, WELCOME. There is another christian thread, but I don't think many people are on that one. I will be praying for you on your journey to being healthier and happier. I pray that God WOULD give you the desires of your heart. I read that you are going to see DR. H/DR. K in Texarkana. They are an awesome team (husband/wife) of doctors. Dr. K did mine. Dr. H does my fills. I'm not self-pay. My ins. pd mine. But never fret, God is just waiting to hear you make YOUR request made known. God bless you. Mrs. Peace, you are truly a prayer warrior.

LOL, I think that it's on everyone computer. I was in another thread and they said the same thing. Guess I'll go and walk.

same here about the thread, I getting the same thing. I thought it was my computer and that they had blocked me at work. LOL

I just looked and saw that I was in the 30's support group. I need to be in the 50's group. LOL:eek:

I told two of my sisters, one was very supportive, the other (she's a nurse) just about had a cow. She tried to give me ALL the pros and cons about the surgery. I asked them not to tell my mother. Right after that I wished I hadn't told the nursey, nursey, cause she ran right back and told my mother.:smile: My mom doesn't know that I know that she knows. She doesn't say anything except, "you are really losing that weight". I only answer, "yes, mam". So I agree with everyone, once you tell it, you can't take it back. I did tell DH and just the other night he told me that I have changed. I am losing the weight and I am very humble at the same time realizing that I am changing because I finally feel good about myself. My children (grown) are very supportive. I have a very good friend that had the same surgery and we are supportive of each other. I did tell another friend that doesn't live in the same state and when she saw me, she was so happy for me. So think through who you think will be there for you. Though THICK AND THIN. LOL Best of blessings to you, after all we are here for you if you decide not to tell anyone but us. LOL

Welcome, Kbinaz, Mrs. Peace, hazeleye, Tann, and kintime. Welcome back, Stepoffaith, happy to hear the news. Best of blessings to ya!!! This the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Welcome ASH and Ugagirl, this thread is nice and I'm glad that I found it. Be blessed today. Hope everyone lose, lose , and lose. And to those (like me) I hope that we can get goooodddd restriction and keep it.

Turkey gets stuck no matter how moist it is, so I stay far away from it. Also, pork rinds (if too many) gets stuck.
