Stay in God's Presence~Win ALL the Battles you face in life!

:rolleyes:Well yes, Staying in God's Presence, that is the answer my friends. He helps us make all the important decisions in life if we will just rely on him and LET him help us.   The Word says that if we abide in the presence of God, He will defeat our enemies, and hide us in the day of trouble. God's attention is on us, but we must keep our attention on Him to enjoy the fullness of His presence in our lives. We must invite God to be involved in everything we do, and then remember to praise

Went to bed Hungry!!!

:mad:I went to bed hungry and very dissatisfied.   There will be days when nothing agrees with you. Yesterday was my day.   I got out in the pouring rain, bought taco shells and came home to fix taco's for dinner.   I can usually eat something crunchy like the shell of the taco. Fixed myself one and could not eat it! So I ate the meat filling instead and a little tomato.   Waited awhile and drank some soda.   Felt good, went to bed, but back up at 3:30 AM it was a huge thunderstorm ou

Another Gastric Bypass Friend has gained back 15 lbs!!!

I have two close friends who both had the Bypass surgery around 6-7 years ago. This was the same time I WAS considering it too.   They lost very quickly and stayed down for around two to three years. Both of them had vitamin defeciencies and health problems. I KNEW I did not want that! I watched one of them very closely, she and I are like sisters although we live about 130 miles apart.   She and I now wear the same size clothes! She is afraid that I will out lose her now cause she is

Dancing is Fun!!!AND great exercise, feeling Alive again!

:smile:WELL I went dancing over this past weekend and boy was it fun!!!!!   We celebrated with a friend her 60th Birthday Party, and had a blast. She is a breast cancer survivor and lost one of her breast already and the cancer has come back, so she is taking treatment again. Such a wonderful women and a great leader and motivator.   I am a Princess House consultant and she is our upline leader, I have known her and been in Princess House Products since 1999!!!   Well we always celeb

Lots of Traveling and it is Too Difficult to eat out anymore, I just can't!

:cursing: It just does not agree with me anymore. I just throw money away to try and eat out! Don't eat the bun, the frys or the soda that "Come" with the "DEAL"!   Paying high prices for meals I take home to the dog! I just noticed today and my husband said something to me that Su Su is getting "FAT"! He wanted to know what I have been feeding her???? OMG I am making this dog FAT eating the foods I CULL   She is going on a diet and the leftovers in the Garbage Disposal!!! LOL   Ther

Went to Disney~Playing with Grandchildren is so much FUN!

Losing these extra pounds is wonderful!   One of the things I wanted to accomplish is being able to get down and play with my grandchilden!   My oldest grandson Dylan just turned 7 and I took him to Disney World~all four parks in five days. We took one day off to swim in the pool and get in the hot tub and shop!   I was able to walk without giving out of breath, ride ALL the rides with him, even Splash Mountain and Mission Space, (although I can say I have been there~done that) which we

The Flu is going around~Lapband Patients Beware!

:eek:It freaks me out with the winter approaching. Catching a flu bug can be very dangerous.   I have been down with the flu for the past three days, and although I felt so bad, I never threw up. I was so afraid that I would start throwing up and not be able to stop. I did get sick to my stomach, and dizzy but fought the throwing up with all my might. Thankfully I had gotten a re-script on the nausea meds given to me by my Dr. before my cruise. I took one of them, let it dissolve on my to

Proud Momma Today!

:rolleyes:Well I did do something right, I have one of the most beautiful daughters in the world. We have only got the sneak preview photos to add today from the wedding, (took over 1,500) and I will go broker (yes I said broke-er! LOL) buying them when we see them all. This guy is great. You can see his work at chrisvisualphoto.com   :thumbup::wub:[ATTACH]424[/ATTACH]   :wub:[ATTACH]425[/ATTACH]   :wub::wub:[ATTACH]426[/ATTACH]   Just click on the photo to enlarge them. The lighting

I have survived!

:smile:Well I am back, the couple has Wed and I survived it all. It was a fairy tale come true wedding, complete with their own written vows which made us all cry! They are off on a trip to Belgium, and Germany for two weeks Honeymoon.   All that food and I ate so little, I was so proud of myself and the control I have now. So many compliments on how good I looked, I so loved it and just let it soak in! Can't wait to share the photos with all of you in a week or so!   I had one person co

Throwing up~~Again! Nerves?

:confused:I hope it is just a case of the jitters and or my nerves, I have had a very hard time keeping food down today, and I want to eat, cause I am HUNGRY!   I start burping and then here it comes! After this wedding, I am going in to the Dr. if it does not calm down.   The rehearsal was a hit, but the dinner was not, Spaghetti and meat sauce, Garlic Bread, Salad with all the trimmings, cheese cake, cookies brownies you name it, it was all there, could not eat at all, just drank some te

Crazy for Corn Chips???

:confused:Don't know why but I have been wanting to eat corn chips lately. I know I should not, but they just make me want them so bad, and they go down so easy!   Well one time I was Crazy for peanuts, just had to have them, and they went down fine. Now I eat raw Almonds, although they are rough on the teeth!   This is a crazy time for me, I have been adorning a wedding gown today for my daughter, just glued on Hundreds of Swarovski stones to the dress, it is absoultly georgous! She is goi

Enjoy the Good Life!!!

:smile:A Good Life is a choice!!!! There are guidelines for a good life!!!! There is a world full of peace and joy for all of us. Blessings will chase you and find you wherever you are!!!   If you are a Christian and believe that is true, you believe what the Bible tells us and that there is a God Above watching over us! I DO!   The Bible contains guidelines for that good life! God has PREARRANGED and made ready a good life for you!   Psalm 4:7-8 You have put more joy and rejoicing i

Listed Under BEST BLOGS!! Thanks to all of YOU!

:smile:Well I was looking under BEST Blogs today and Found MYSELF on page 13! Did you know you could go back a read through older blogs from people who have had surgeries years ago?   That is what I was doing and found myself there too, thanks to all of YOU! And a lot of you guys are there too! This website is so helpful to me, I tell anyone who is interested in the lapband in the least bit, to log on to this site!   So far I have blogged 129 times with 388 comments! Check it out you cou

What is our Standard to Compare to?

:smile:One time I was comparing myself to the way I used to be, and I thought, I am not doing too badly.   Then God said to me, "But Who is your standard? How are you doing compared to Me?   I said, "Lord, I have a long way to go!"   Refuse to live beneath the standard that Jesus has set for you. Keep your eyes on Him and tell Him, "Many...are the wonderful works which You have done...no one can compare with You".(Psalm 40:5).     His intention was......that (we might arrive) at really

I love my life! Very happy today!

:smile:Life is Good. Look all around you and you have so much to be happy about!   Fall is in the air in Florida. I am 94 lbs or so lighter than I was last year this time. I am so happy today. I have a beautiful family with a beautiful daughter getting married in 12 days! Live is good.   My new dress fits and looks nice on. I don't feel FAT in it or trying to HIDE a part of my body I don't like!!! I love my life now, thanks to the band and the positive changes in my life, I am very hap

Upset Stomach is not good with the Band!

:eek:Up since 3 Am with an upset stomach! Not feeling good at all, can't sleep! I have been having a lot of digestive problems these past few days, and now this!   Going to call in tomorrow to see what I can take for it?   Any suggestions? Most meds don't swallow well anyway. But need to get back to normal soon, my daughters wedding is just 12 days away!!! :smile:

I sat on the Couch with TWO other people!!!

:thumbup:Well now. Last year only one other person could sit on the full size couch with me on it too, Comfortably that is! Tonight all my husbands relatives stopped by to see us and I actually scooted over so two people could sit on the couch with me!! 94 lbs does make a difference in the size of the couch. Going to get up early, only 15 days till my daughters wedding! Made about 400 buttermints and dotted them with tiny icing rosebuds and leaves for the wedding. I only ate a couple! Th

Success? Does 10 Sizes smaller equal Success? I think so!!!

:biggrin:Big grin today, Wow I am amazed with this thing called a LapBand, now it really is not around your lap, or even around you stomach???At the top of the stomach just below the esophagus!!! But hey who cares??? It IS THERE, doing its job. Sometimes I don't like it~that is when I am stressed and food is not making its way down like I WANT it to! Probably should not eat those foods anyway. But it has worked a change in my life this past year. We are never satisfied are we? I wish this I

I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

:smile: I found a dress to wear to my daughters wedding. I went shopping with my daughter today and I just found the most beautiful dress and jacket. It is a beige gown with a flowing a line skirt, JUST the right length, fits so well. My bust are TOO BIG! I had to get a size 14 (I think this came out of the Jr.s dept) and it is a little tight in the boob section, but hey! I guess I had rather have this problem that not have any thing in that dept. to fuss about! LOL   Anyway the bodice is

So who Didn't watch the Season Premier of "The Biggest Loser"????

:frown:I was so sad for the ones who did not get picked to go to the RANCH! A lot of folks looked like they could use the help.   I tried not to feel sorry for anyone there, but I could not help it, I wanted to bleed for them. I am so grateful every time I watch that show for what I have now. I would not want life any other way. I admit I need to be exercising more now, that is a downfall of mine, but I know that the LapBand was a lifesaver for me. When I saw the girl talk about her broth

My dress didn't fit, but that's OK!

:eek:Not because I did not lose the weight, but because they made it WRONG! I feel so much better, it was only 5 inches off!   I don't think staying in the gym for two weeks would make any difference in the fit. 5 inches is a lot to reduce in a week, then it still would just fit!   So off shopping I go tomorrow! Looking for that perfect dress for the wedding.   It will be an experience! I plan to have a good day with my daughter. I love her so much! She has a lot to learn in life, bu

Throwing up EVERYTHING I have eaten today???

:thumbup:Somedays I don't know what triggers it? I just can't eat well at all, not even drink well without throwing it all back up. I had to pull off the road today to let it out, and I had a friend with me, it was really embarrassing! Things that I normally do not have any trouble at all with are NOT staying down! I mean this one time today a wave of nausea came over me that I swear I was PREGNANT again, and that ain't EVER happening again! LOL Anyway, Back to the Protein Shake to

Getting Excited about The Wedding Dress!

:smile:My dress will be here today or tomorrow hopefully!!!   I can't wait to try it on, it is beautiful! I hope that now with the weight loss it will be a wedding I will feel good about how I look! When my son got married I was in too few photos, and that is sad. But I dodged the camera, needless to say that was not fair to my son for his memories later on when I am no longer around. (which will be a long time!!!)   If it fits, I will take photos and post! Hope you all have a blessed day

That doggone Crunch n Munch!

:eek:Well I was tempted and GAVE IN to it, with some Crunch n Munch last night. After a day with my girlfriend who is a small petite person who always eats anything she wants, the box of Crunch n Munch was purchased and SHARED on the way home from a road trip. It WAS delicious, but this morning I WILL NOT get on the scale. I bum myself out! Well I got up early this morning and began exercising and cleaning out my car, the trunk and next to wash it! It got too hot out right now, so I came
