Do you can what other Christian think?



Recommended Posts

Of course not. Christians care what the Lord thinks.... and is no respector of persons...right?

Be true to the Lord and yourself, all will be fine.

Not that this really bothers me or made me upset in the least....but just a cute story.

I was at my mom's church (one I grew up in) for my sister's college graduation supper/party.

My DH came up to me and said..."your mom's ratting you out." I look over to where she is, with 3 of my old friend's, 2 of which are heavy-set, and she has her mouth covered. My DH tells me she's telling them about my banding. I snicker it off. Then before I leave, the pastro's wife comes up to me and whispers..."I heard you had THE surgery?" ok mom.....but I'm still not mad. When I called her on it, she just gave me a big hug and told me she's only so proud of me for being willing to take this step. Made me want to cry. I love her so much and she won't be around forever!! And after finding 1 Corinthians 10:13, nothing anybody has to say about the band will effect me. PTL!!!

Oh, and to top the story off, my DH brings it up again as I'm dozing off to sleep. He states to me, "well, you're the one who has to put up with all this hard work ahead of you..."Not knowing if I'm too tired to say something abck or trying to figure out what he meant about that...it gave him time to restate it.."well, not you yourself, but all of us with you, hon." now then I was able to fall off into a sweet sleep! "Thank you Lord, for my dear hubby!!"

      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.
