Sending Prayers



Recommended Posts

I am sending prayers to all of you in the path of Hurricane Katrina.

I was scheduled to speak in New Orleans this week and just cancelled all my reservations this morning.

I hope you all evacuate and get out of harms way.

Thoughts and Prayers are with You'll.

Yes! I'm so glad that you posted this. I was thinking of my dear Paula and all of the other wonderful LBTers here who live in that area.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and may the Lord watch over all of you and keep you all safe and protected!

Kelly I was just thinking about Paula this morning. I hope they are ok. I will send up prayers of protection for all of them.

My daughter in Florida didn't get much of anything other than some hard rain. THen it skipped into the gulf and picked up steam and force. It is a category 5 now with winds at 175 MPH.

HUGE prayers. They are evacuating New Orleans. MORE PRAYERS!!!

Hi all! Thanks so much for asking...

At this point, we are safe from this one! *phew*

N.O. is about 3 1/2 hours east of us, so we are quite a distance from this gigantic storm.

Right now we are actually getting only goodness from it - low humidity and steady breezes, with lots of HEAT!

We have a friend that is a big-wig at the newest casino/hotel in our area. He was called into work today to make extra accomidations for all the evacuee's that were arriving.

Funny how the casino's here are filled tonight and the church's remain empty.

Something about that thought scares me.

Thank You GOD!!!!

So happy you fine Paula- I agree that is a strange thought about the casinos & churches. Maybe because they are newer with more structual features. Plus the size. It is strange though ;0)

So glad that you are all ok Paula! I thought about trying to call you, but decided against it - just because I didn't know if you would all be gone or not.

Hopefully everyone else from LBT is safe and sound. Those storms sure are nothing to mess with!

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

      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
