So pumped to find this thread. Was sleeved on 10/12. I've been off work for two weeks and I go back Monday. Requesting prayer for strength.

praying for your strength and a speedy comfy recovery.

Hi I want to apologize for my silence on this thread.

I am still at 95 pounds lost. I am slowly beginning to lose a little more but I will say this. It's life changing. On every level, Spiritually, physically, emotionally and personally. I have lots of support and have never looked back from my decision. I do recall thinking after day 3, what was I thinking?

Thank goodness for time, it heals everything. I am surprised at how people who didn't know I used to be 95 pounds heavier treat me. With respect and interest. We should and I use the term broadly, care about each other regardless of our size, appearance and ethnicity. But we don't always do that. I have on an emotional level been able to now understand how someone who is looked down on because of the color of their skin might feel. I have to say I am thankful for such a lesson. Though I have always treated people with great respect, it is still a revelation to experience the huge disrespect our society places on obesity. I thank the Lord he is so much bigger than that.

I Love you all and even more so as I hope to get to know some of you.

95 Pounds is so good congrats on that. I totally agree I see and hear the disrespect all around me. Even people that had the surgery start to do it. I dislike that the most we of all people should have understanding. I to remember asking myself, whhhhhhyyyyy???!!!! And telling myself I should have just stuck to the pre op diet. Lol seems like a long time ago .. I'm slowly losing I'm almost 11 weeks out and only lost almost 40 pounds should be more but it's not and I'm fine with that .. I have been absent too just trying to figure out this new life and enjoy it. But I'm coming back and will be here more often. I look forward to getting to know everyone here. I need new encouraging people in my life ...

Where is everyone? I am so thankful that He is working in my life. Through a big change in ins and medical care transfer but also in other areas.

It's been a long time how are we all? Any had surgery yet? Recovering? I can wait to catch up with you all. When I first started this thread I had just started my journey. I wanted a Christians point of few. And support.

Hello how are you? I'm in a good place as well. Trying to stay grounded and in my word. It's still a daily struggle with food and eating but I'm grateful for this journey and plan to make this work. How far out are you?

[lachellove 486]

Hello ladies checking in with you all again. [emoji56] how are you? How's your journey going? Hope to hear from some of you soon.

Sorry, we moved to a new city so I got behind on a lot of social stuff. My ins. Got all messed up in January so after a lot of changes I have to see a new nut at least once but the surgeon was all for me being scheduled! He told me I was his dream patient of the day. We''ve been through some crazy stuff the past few years but God is always showing me how faithful He is. "Oh, how I love Jesus"[emoji444]
