Christian bandsters



Recommended Posts

I'll certainly say my prayers for you. My husband was also very concerned, but now he is so happy that I'm so much healthier. I was on the verge of being diabetic, having suffered through gestational diabetes with my second child. I also had problem with my hormones and thyroid -- all related to my obesity. You may want to look up the latest issue of the American Medical Association's Journal that talks about how the band surgery cures (no more meds) Type 2 diabetes. The doctors wrote that it is the safest, best way to treat diabetes. Just something to study. I'll pray that the Lord's will be done in your life.

So glad to see all of you here! I prayed before I even called about the surgery and I said "Lord, if I am supposed to have this done, please let everything go really well, and with no problems" And, guess what, it all has gone exceptionally well, from the first plan to the surgery to now, and the 56 pounds I have dropped since April 07!!!!!! Like I always say "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine"!!!! Talk to you all soon.

My surgery will be on Monday Jan. 28 in Coos Bay, Oregon. Please pray that all will be well, and for travel mercies. Must travel about 60 miles over mountains and it's been a bit snowy. Until I get back :)

Well, well, well, I am just tickled pink about everyone. Welcome newbies.

Have you all heard a song (we use to sing it doing vacation bible school), "The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together the happier we'll be. Cause your friend is my friend and my friend is your friend, the more we get together the happier we'll be".

When I saw the new ones, all I could do was praise God for my friends. There is strenght in numbers. I pray for you all. I am so thankful for this thread.

Joyross, I pray for travel mercy and arrival grace. That God would control the hands of the surgeon, a speedy recover and that you would find EVERYTHING safe around and in your home just like you left it. In Jesus' name. Amen

Yes, I pray Joyross that the Lord will keep His hand on you and your surgeons and that everything will go according to His plan.

And, update on my friend with Leukemia -- at first the doctors said she had the worst kind and basically gave her a death sentence. Now they've ran more tests and say that she has the curable kind, and she has responded positively to her medicines this week. She went in the hospital on Wed. THANKS to everyone for your prayers and support for Patti.

will be praying for all of you. Don't know why it is so hard to wait on something! but, I know you can drive yourself crazy thinking about all the things that can go wrong. Just try to remember, Matthew chapter 6:25-26

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

      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.
