Prayers are being sent out for strength and a successful fund raising for you and your family.

@Bayougirlmrsc I agree with Dollgirl, especially about this site being a supportive group. For you to play God and put judgement on others is mind blowing to me. You are generalizing and putting everyone in the same category as perhaps those that abuse the system . God forbid if ever something devastating happens to your life and you need government assistance. And according to your words you have to work everyday so therefore you don't have the money to take care of yourself for a long period of time if you become disable or etc. If you have family to take care of you, I wonder would that be a burden? I'm not saying that family thinks a person is a burden, I think it's a wonderful thing when family cares and help. But just a passing thought since you mention burden. . There are plenty people that have worked decades and have paid taxes and perhaps unemployed or disable and etc. that suddendly needed well earned help. I could never stand people that think they are so above others and find themselves so superior. Look around you in this world and see all the people that have come down a level or two and perhaps homeless because of the economy. They too never thought they would be where they are today, bankrupt, homeless, losing homes, cars, or no health insurance, etc. and needing a helping hand. My point in all this is to stop putting people down because they need and don't have, and for you and others to stop acting superior. Because you never know what tomorrow will bring for you. * I could have made this a very nasty letter but I tried to make my point without going there. Because this site is a SUPPORT GROUP

I'm 4 weeks out and my port area is hurting. I haven't had meds in weeks either. Mine feels like I pulled something. (like a tear) I couldn't understand it either since the pain just all of a sudden hit me. I thought maybe I over ate because I haven't lifted anything heavy. Hope you feel better

Natalie I want a PB&J sandwich so bad. I thought Peanut Butter would get stuck. My weight is staying the same, I can't really do exercise yet for health reasons. My appetite is increasing and Ihat makes me discouraged, I can't wait until I get my first fill. Then hope I get restriction. I keep saying I'm going on liquids for a day, but that day never comes. Especially when I open my fridge and my eyes go left to right searching for what will satisfy me. Now I know what people mean when they feel they can eat anything.

I just started back coming on and I was wondering about you. Glad to hear from you again

@ Thanks for posting I always pay attention to what you say. Now I know if you said it was easy, I can relax when I get mine. Good job on your 10%, keep it up

@Whymom That's awesome keep up the good work. I love banana peppers and hot sauce, but up till now was afraid it wouldn't agree with my system. But I see you have no problems with hot sauce and peppers. Maybe I will try it soon @Daisy That muffin tin meatloaf sounds delicious, did you make it out of ground turkey? and I would assume it went down well

@whymomwhy Let me know if you can still eat the same foods after your fill? My first fill is July 2 and I'm not looking forward to a needle in my stomach, but I am anxious to find out if there would be a difference.

Sleepy- Great positive thinking, keep it up
