Yes, Thanksgiving was hard for me cause grandkids and DD came home, but for Christmas it was just me and DH. I ruined the ham (not on purpose) cooked it too dry and I didn't cook a whole lot more, so thus, we didn't have a lot of goodies to eat. For NYE's we had brisket, peas and green Beans and black-eyed peas are not my favorite and I can take or leave green beans so I feasted on meat. LOL

Hello Wombat,

I agree with you!! I didn't know the waiting would be so hard!! I do believe this is God's will for my life but patience is not one of my virtues!!

Whatever you do, don't pray for patience unless you're ready for God to give you trials that help you grow in that area of your life.

Every time I do that, it seems like 4,000 fresh new obstacles are thrown in my path. For example, there are a grand total of 5 stoplights in my hometown, and I have to go through 4 of them to get to the highway for my morning commute. If I'm running a little bit late, and I ask for patience, because some days I struggle with road rage, there will be 30 cars driving 2 mph between me and where I'm going, and I'll manage to hit EVERY light when it's just turning red. And sometimes for good measure, there will be a pedestrian walking at a snail's pace that I have to slow down or even stop for....Well, you get the idea.

Be careful what you pray for!:lol:

Hi everyone. I haven't visited for a couple of days. This week has been particularly hard. I have had some awful obstacles not related to the band thrown in my path. Satan has been attacking full force but by the grace of God I will walk strong. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am leaning on Phillipians right now. I see the surgeon tomorrow to see what he says about the lap band and if he will prepare my packet for the insurance and what he will require of me. My blood pressure has been ridiculous this past two days and I have never had high blood pressure but I am forging on. Please pray for me tomorrow as I meet with the dr. Thank you for being my sisters in Christ. Thank you for this website and sharing with me. In love, Cindy

I will began to pray now. God can will bring you through EVERY trial. You have already spoke the words over yourself and you will make it. BP is probably from the other stress that's going on. satan never brings anything new, his stuff is the same old crap, so I say to him and his imps, "Cindy IS covered under the bless of Jesus that died on the cross and rose again for HER, took the keys of hell and death. Take your hands off of her cause she is a child of the mighty and most high God. God's word says, The Lord IS Cindy's shephard and Cindy shall NOT want.... Finish reading Ps. 23rd and make it personal.

Give us your praise report tomorrow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
