Prayers requested



Recommended Posts

Just like everyone to keep nancysmiles in your prayers this weekend.

Today ,Good Friday, her mother-in-laws passed away peacfully.

Also Nancy's father is in hospital and is an alzhemier patient. It was just found that he has a brain tumor also. SO nancy has lots to deal with in her persoanl life right now and can use our support. She will be out of town probably till the end of next week.

Nancy and I work very close as moderators of a support group in the Detroit area. She is a pleasure to work with(ok s I lied she does ALL the work I just take the credit) and its an honor to have her as a friend.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you for the next few difficult days and well beyond that too.

Nancy,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. I know that sometimes it feels like everything is crashing down on you or that you're put through more than you can handle, but keep the faith and things will start looking brighter even though it's hard to see that now. May God bless you during this time of loss and concern for your father.

Nancy, (((Hugs))) and prayers to you and your family during this trying time. I know you've said your Father is the one who named you "NancySmiles" and I hope you will have some reasons to smile with your Father about. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother in Law.

((hugs)) I had no idea. I am so sorry for your loss. I know its been a rough road with your Dad has well & am so sadden by the additional health scare. I had been wondering why I hadn't heard from you has of late. You & your family will be in my prayers especially this Easter Sunday. If you care to have lunch next week let me know. I'll try calling you today. We are all here for you Nancy. If I can help with anything (even your daughter) shes so close, just let me know.

Love you-Christina

Just Spoke W/Nancy. She said her MIL went very peacefully & she & her DH are currently up North to take care of Nancy's FIL. She passed on Good Friday which seemed appropriate because her own parents had also died around Easter.

As to Nancy's Dad, good news is that the tumor is not cancer & is also very slow growing. Her Dad is in his 80's so they don't think its good to remove it but it shouldn't interfer with his life. The alzhemiers is what takes it toll.

Nancys says thank you to each one of you & please keep her in your thoughts. She sends special thanks & hugs to Greg for being such a good friend!! She will post sometime next week & says "Happy Easter to All"

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
