prayer requests for LBT'ers



Recommended Posts

Bumping :bump2: and also asking for prayer as my family is going to be making a huge move to OK within the next few months. Job change. The Lord always puts us where we need to be at the perfect time.

Much love to you Leatha. You are like a warm cup of Soup on a winter day. :) Hope all is well with you.

We are looking in the OKC area. I hear there are tarantulas & scorpions. My DW is not happy about that. :phanvan It will be a few months b4 the move is complete. Just pray that we will find a home and sell ours quickly.

Prayer request for my brother. He is a chronic alcoholic that needs to get into treatment asap. He is only 41 and is dying from the disease.

Hi Julie ~ I will be sure to pray for your brother to accept treatment. BTW, you are doing a super job with your band....very proud of you.

Please pray for my cousin, Donnie, in NC. He is in his late 50's and has been on life support the past couple of days. He was taken to the ER 4 days ago and they discovered a blockage from his pancreas to his liver. They discovered an infection in his pancreas. He and his family have a personal relationship with the Lord. We are praying for his full recovery.

Hi Paladin,

I'll pray for him as well. As an update, my brother entered rehab this a.m. He will go through detox for 3-4 days then he will remain there from 30-45 days. He is near deaths door so I really hope and pray it works out for him. Thanks for your compliment on being banded. I am really happy with my results and I'm looking forward to hitting my year in June. I'm hoping to be down another 15-20 lbs from where I currently am. Thanks again.

Wonderful news about your brother!! It will be a tough road for sure. He is lucky to have you there to support him. Keep us posted.

My cousin is doing better. Slow progress & he is still on life support. I guess his pancreas was full of toxins and spilled over into the rest of his body. Some people do not recover from this, but the docs seem positive with each passing day.

Hi Paladin, I have an update on my brother. . They ended up not keeping him the 30 days. He went through detox and they let him go. Don't ask me why. He is now attending AA meetings. Truthfully, I would be shocked if he stayed sober. But maybe he will. Its been discouraging to say the least.

      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.
