If it's God's will...



Recommended Posts

I scheduled my surgery in Mexico. Paid $2100 of the $5100 I need to pay. Scheduled it for July 12th.

The evening that I sent $2100 and spent an additional $1350 for plane tickets....my husband got laid off.

I have panicked a little. But I keep telling myself that if this is what God has planned for me, it will happen. I have 6 weeks to get $3000 plus $500 spending money together. My husband starts another job tomorrow that lasts 2 weeks then he's supposed to start another 4 week long job right after. I pray it all works out. I really want to be healthy and have energy and not be in so much pain.

Don't rely on God.. rely on yourself. Do everything you can personally do to make your surgery safer. Make sure you're on a healthy liver shrinking pre-op diet low in carbs and high in Protein, make sure your blood pressure and HR are under control.. make sure you've researched who the surgeon is, their post-op program, etc., and got feedback from others to elevate the chances of success. "God" won't do that for you. It's all up to you.

I cringe every time I see a response from you...if God gives her comfort then so be it. You may not believe in God but don't take away from those that do. I really pray that God humbles you to be nicer and compassionate to others.

Let me lend you a hand:

It's comedic that overly sensitive people would find that post bashing, when it's genuine advice about self-empowerment and making good choices rather than pushing that off on others to make. If that advice triggers you, seek help. I certainly am not going to change who I am because some snowflakes can't handle blunt advice that's not disrespectful whatsoever.

And to the above, I'm not an atheist, but here's a trophy for your effort.

I don't get that they are bashing the belief in God. I see it as God expects us to do for ourselves. I'm pretty sure that's why God gave us free will.

Then why do people pray? For strength, direction, for help, for others. It's nice to have someone to count on that will always have our back without judgement when we choose either the right or wrong path....unconditional love is what most people seek from God and soul care. People lack in unconditional love it's very rare.

If you don't believe in God why are you on a Christian thread. Please be gone. Thank you

Amen to that, now that you've announced you've blocked people (hint: it's irrelevant to the person you're announcing you're blocking, especially when they gave you the link to block them), maybe those of you who've not discussed the topic whatsoever (how ironic that this is the very same people :lol:) might be able to contribute something worthwhile to the topic now.

@PatientEleventyBillion you think you are helping, but you come off as mannerless and uncouth. And therefore negate any advice you give.

And enough with the snowflake crap already - no one wants to hear it. And I am not one, so don't retort back on that.

      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.
