As I'm sitting here in the wee hours of the morning, I just happened to think that those of you who do not live along the Wasatch Front may not be aware of a website that the Deseret News sponsors.

Mormon Times - News and information for and about members of the LDS Church

Each week the paper has a section called Mormon Times...in addition to the Church News. The topics in Times are usually more 'casual' than the Church News. A favorite feature of mine is a column that Joseph Cannon does each week called 'The Gospel in Words". He takes a different word each week, talks about the root of the word, what it means to the world and other religions, and what it means in Gospel context.

Another possible FHE, Mrs. Flipflops...

Orson Scott Card's columns are also interesting...he likes to point out the 'inconsistencies' we have as members sometimes. He also has written about activities in his ward and stake that have been successful. He can seem very cynical at times, so don't take offense. Read his column for what you enjoy and ignore the rest.:thumbup:

I seem to have lost my way in lap band life and need the support of others who know the joys of PBing in a cup in your minivan because you just HAD to try one of the kid's french fries.....

Yup, that's a dastardly deed, alright!

You're on the right track, though. And you're going to be fine...because you need to help me be fine!

No one quite understands situations like that except other bandsters! :lol:

I've noticed, as I hovered around the same weight for the last few weeks, I needed a kick in the butt, so I'm trying to be better about coming to LBT and reading motivating posts. :)

I've had a wild week with my band. I was unfilled last month and refilled Tuesday, lost 8 lbs in 72 hours and went back in today to have some of the fill taken out.

Thank you Choromom for litening to my endless whining and analyzing minute amounts of saline,lol.

The world is a better place because of Choromom. :rolleyes2:

      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.
