jg9956 41 Posted January 27, 2013 This isn't necessarily Lap Band related, but just wanted to let you all know that I lost my bakery business in a terrible fire yesterday. Everything is gone, but everyone is OK, no one was hurt. There were 3 other businesses in the building that lost everything as well. It's a tough time, handling this, trying to figure out where to go from here. My mind is elsewhere, not on the band, for obvious reasons. Hoping to get through this all quickly so I can move on. If anyone wishes to see photos, I've shared some on my business Facebook page. www.facebook.com/cakeplacid Has anyone been through something tragic like this, and if so, how was your band in all of it? I seem to not be hungry, not eating as much. I don't want to be unhealthy but I just have no desire, I'm sure it's stress and I hope it can ease up soon. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted January 27, 2013 So sorry, I had a major house fire years ago, and lost everything, but it was pre-band. Be good to yourself. It is a major shock to the system! Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rn925 25 Posted January 27, 2013 I'm so sorry, I remember you posting a few days ago and thinking we started at Abt the same weight, and I make cakes as well, so I've been wanting to see how you've done balancing the two. I can't even imagine the feelings you're having right now. I'm glad that no one was hurt, and hoping that you will be able to rebuild even better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted January 27, 2013 So sorry! Thoughts & prayers everything will work out. Stress, which obviously you have, can tighten your band up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paula2468 7 Posted January 27, 2013 Sorry to hear! I find when I'm stressed I either don't want to eat or have trouble feeling tight. I had 2 relatives pass away just a few weeks after surgery it was tough. Now when I'm over stressed sometimes I'll do more shakes to get my Protein and not worry About getting stuck. Good luck.
