Please pray for my family



Recommended Posts

My youngest brother (28 years old) was found dead in his own apartment in New York this evening. We all live in Wisconsin and don't have any details until my other brother gets there tomorrow morning. My family is devasated. My parents are just walking shells of who they once were. He was the baby of our family....fit, healthy, athletic, successful and happy. Makes no sense. I still can't even believe it. My heart is broken for all of us--we had a great relationship--daily chats on the computer-jokes and an interesting writer/editor relationship with some short stories he was writing.

Painful, broken, and just devastated. Fine one minute, shocked disbelief, and crying the next. All we know is the police said no evidence of foul play/forced entry or suicide.

Makes no sense.

Kimber-lilly,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother...my prayers are being sent for you and your family.

I don't know where in Wisconsin you live, but I live in Wisconsin also....if we are fairly close, if there is anything I can do for you or your family, I would be happy to.

I live in a surburb outside of Milwaukee....Sussex, WI....where are you?

A thousand thank you's for all your support. I just got home after spending the day with my parents--took them to the funeral home to make arrangements--a scenario I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It really warms my heart to know that you all care. We are in northern Wisconsin--on the border by Iron Mountain Michigan--and I appreciate all your offers to help. Nothing to do, really. I will try to hand it over to God, like you said.

Your thoughts and kind words are my buoy.

Kimberly

      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.
