I'm not too proud to ask,,could yall pray for me and my family? My husband was laid off work for 2 weeks..went back to work this week now they are saying he'll be laid off 2 more weeks. For anyone who has had to draw unemployment,,you know how it is. His last check was 3 times smaller than what he is used to getting and this weeks check will pay for our health insurance and benefits. I know it could be alot worse but times are really tough. We have alot of dr bills,,I can't get some of my scripts filled and I have my new glasses waiting on me to finish getting paid off. My son has special needs and I have to put him first and take care of expenses for him..his dad was just deployed and that is really hard for him. I have a large family and all my kids have needs,,they keep coming to us for help that we can't really give. Just alot going on and it's putting a strain on my family life. I know this isn't really sleeve related but the stress is making it very difficult for me to stay focused and I can't really afford the things I need for my diet right now so I'm just making do with what I have..can't eat much right now anyway. Just very stressed and depressed. I have alot of faith and I believe in prayer so if anyone out there could please reach out for me,,I would be so thankful.

Peacequeen,

You always support others even though you have been through so much. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God will walk with you and your faith will keep you strong. These tough times will pass, but please do not skip on your medication. You need to physically be well in order to be strong for your family.

Bless you my friend.

It's never asking to much to pray for someone. We've all been through hard times and we all understand how hard it can be. Hold on - the light will come.

I will pray for your family. I know all about money problems. We had a rough time for a while too b/c my hubby was laid off. I hope it doesn't last much longer for you.

      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.
