I cried today, (happy tears) because I'm doing something with my sleeve that I just couldn't accomplish and maintain on my own. I am so thankful to God that he allowed me to go through this procedure, for my beautiful, amazing supportive husband, my very talented doctor and for all the wonderful sleeve friends that this site has brought to my life. Feeling good about yourself is a tremendous life changing experience. Now I'm smiling!!

Keep on expressing yourself and losing those pounds. Some of the reasons you listed were my thoughts as well for why I had the surgery. You're on your way to a new happier you, so enjoy every step of the journey and have some fun along the way! -

I'm so excited! I was given permission by my doc to start my blended foods early because my stomach is healing really good and I had a scrambled egg with cheese and ground turkey and OMG you would have thought I had a 5 star meal, it was sooooo good and it held on my stomach pretty good! Wow, I can eat again!

A JOYFUL SALUTATIONS TO MY SLEEVE FAMILY, Psalms 95:6 "Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." "Let Us Pray" Father, as I come humbly bowed, before your throne of grace and mercy, I would first, like to repent of all the sins that I have committed against you, up to this very moment, whether they were in my word, thought, or actions. I ask, that you Father, will find delight in me, forgiving and cleansing me of all my unrighteousness. Lord, I thank you for waking me this morning, allowing me to see another of your glorious days. Father, I ask, that as I journey throughout this day, that I encounter nothing on , my path, that together with you, I can not handle. I pray my Lord, that I show to all, in the way I conduct myself, that I belong to you, so they may see my good works and want to glorify you also. I give thanks to you Father God, for all the many blessings that you have given me and the ones I am yet to receive. I thank you Father, for every time you discipline me today when I stray from your word, because you love me. Please Lord, search my sinful heart and take out anything that will hinder my service to you. I have put into your arms, care of all my love ones, that you will watch over and protect them from all hurt, harm, and danger. I love you, I thank you, and I praise your Holiness. All this I ask, if it be Thine will, in your son's name Jesus Christ, AMEN!

Shrimp With Tomatoes, Garlic, Chives And Penne (Yes, You Can Have Pasta!)
DIAMOND45 replied to BunnyLove's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
OMG! GIRL, I am 4 days post op, but I love shrimp and pasta, so I will definitely be putting this recipe in my book. Thanks for the idea and keep em' coming Lol! -
I'm officially sleeved, Yay! Last night was really rough because of the excess gas in my abdomen. I was hurting like OMG! My nurse told me that I needed to walk in order to relieve the gas and pressure. I must have walked around the entire floor 6 times, but it paid off because I don't feel any more pain or pressure today. I feel really good. God is so good to me.

Week 1 Post Op Is Down, Lifetime To Go!
DIAMOND45 commented on Shemy-away's blog entry in Rhapsody's Rants
Very well put! You have the right idea about stepping outside of yourself and putting focus on what you can do or how you can contribute to someone else's life in a positive way. This is certainly the way I live my life on a daily basis and God is constantly rewarding and taking care of all my needs( and some of my wants). -
So my issue is kind of weird to me. I have been on my pre-op diet for 13 days now and for the last four days I have only been able to drink 2 of the four protein shakes that I'm suppose to have, because for some reason I just am not hungry. I do have a cup of broth each day and I drink plenty water and other sugar free drinks, but I can't seem to get a hunger for those other 2 shakes. Has anyone else experienced this and is this normal?

Good Morning and Blessed Day Family, Our Spiritual Vitamin for today is: P for PRAYING Mark 11:24 says, Whatsoever "things" you desire, when you pray, if you believe that you receive them, you shall have them. This procedure is a "thing", a wonderful, life saving "thing" that God our Father, has provided through giving the knowledge and technology to man to perform on those who are in the need of some serious help. We must know that His word will not go out full and come back to us empty if we trust and believe. He wants to give His children "good things" that will help our need for an abundance of quality life in the "here and now!" God knows we need good health, even if we are mostly the reason why our health isn't where it should be. He will bless us with good health, so that we can continue to shine for Him in a glorious way in all that we do! The scripture above says we must go to Him in prayer for our need on all "things" and believe that if it is His will, we will receive what we ask. So no matter what "thing" we need, whether it be big or small, please don't hesitate to go to a quiet place, and with a repentive heart, ask your Father and believe without doubt, you will have it blessed upon you. To those of us who are spiritual and striving daily to be more Christlike, pray continually for one another that we may all be successful on our individual journeys. Godspeed to my sleeve family :wub:
