Hurricane Gustav, that Mutha Fugga



Recommended Posts

Ya'll please keep my city, New Orleans, in your prayers. I am not sure if we can handle another blow. This is ridiculous, seriously. I was watching the news last night and it showed a lady who had just moved back into her home since Hurricane Katrina, and now she is preparing to evacuate due to that F:cursing: Gustav. Well I will be evacuating with my job, The American Red Cross. Please pray for us that this blows over and misses us. Thanks ya'll!!!!!

I fell in love with New Orleans last year. My daughter had done some volunteer work right after Katrina, and we decided to go and tour the city last summer. We were saddened that there are many places that are still affected by Katrina. The Big Easy will be in our prayers!

Hey guys! just wanted to udate ya'll. I have evacuated to a city outside of New Orleans. I am in a shelter with my job. Well the mood here is well ummm, there is not much mood here. I am with a lot of volunteers from across the country and they are so stoked to be here, I don't understand why. Honestly I am here because I need my job. I hated the fact that I had to send my 5 year old daughter to my sister's in Dallas, Tx. I really wanted to get the He** out of Louisiana. But I am stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Stay here and ride out the storm or evacuate to Tx and loose my job. :):cursing::rolleyes::cursing: This is not an easy task , but I gotta do what I gotta do. TTYL.

Hey, just wanted to give ya'll an update. Well the worst is over. We were spared. We lost power in the shelter on Monday, and we lived in the heat until yesterday. I just want to thank ya'll for all your prayers and support. I am so glad that it is over. Praise God.

      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.
