  3. Are you Prepared for the Consequences of your blessings? I just want all old bandsters and new bandsters to know that the more weight you loose and the healthier you get! There will be consequences for your blessings and you must be ready for it!! I have learned that this is and will be a life changing event!! This is not a miracle cure for weight loss but it is and can be a blessing in disguise! The dictionary states that a blessing in disguise is: something that at first appears to be bad or unlucky but is actually good!! And if you are not prepared for the consequences that follow this weight loss journey!! This can be a very negative event! I have heard many say that they feel that that the Lap Band Failed them. You must have faith, because if you have been a victim for so long and have had many bad experiences anything that good the follows it may appear to be a threat!! But know that those who have been through hell and back this could be a major revelation for you!! Learn to be prepared for the consequences of your blessings!! People will envy you, not be supportive, even hate you!! But find family and friends that support you and hold on to them!! The trouble with weight has not come to break you, its a test to make you stronger!! Its almost like a open book test the questions are located in the back! of the book! No reason to fail! You just have to do research to get the answers!! Its a Test!! None of us can fail because the answers are there!! God will never give us test that we are not prepared for!! You must learn how to do research on this Lap Band Weight loss so we can pass the test!! Failure is not an option!!
  4. Today is a New Day and a Fresh Start to do maybe what you failed at yesterday!! If you wanted to make changes in your life today is the day to do it!! If you ate too much, if you ate the wrong things, if you didn't get a chance to workout, even if you forgot to Thank God for all he has done for you with this new life!! Well Today is a New Day a Fresh Start!! Lets do this for after 12pm tonight you wont get to do today anymore!! The bible says don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself!!Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
  5. Thanks Everyone for the Love!! I Felt It!!
  6. I realized that for many years I didn't Love Myself. Loving others and food was more easier then loving me!! I hated the way I looked and allowed many to just come into my life and treat me so bad. As a way of medicating myself I turned to food! It was easier then facing the truth!! I away's wondered why God kept me repeating the same cycle in my life as if I were in a summer school class. Then I got it clear as day. I had to repeat those classes (Life) because I had not learned from my mistakes. If you don't love You then no one else will!! I love myself more and more each day and will never allow food, men. harsh people take advantage of me ever again!! I learned from my mistakes and I am going all the way to being a much better me!!! NO MORE SUMMER SCHOOL!!!
  7. What to do when food gets stuck? I ate this morning and it feels like its still there!! Stuck right in my chest area!! Should I go vomit!! I can't take this feeling!!! HELP!!!
  8. On My Way To The Gym To Work It Out!! Hard Work + Lap Band = Results!! Now That's Real Talk!!! I'm Gonna Make This Work For Me!!! I'm Not Giving Failure Any Choices!!! I Mean It!!!

  13. For all of you who need encouragement, I just want you to know that from the beginning to the end of this Lap Band Process it is not going to be easy but, God said that he will always be with you and dont worry you can do this!! Never Fear because God is working on you each and everyday to do this Lap Band Struggle and Be the Best You are going to be in this life time. And If you feel like you are loosing this battle and not losing the weight that you want, you pick up your bible and begin to read Isaiah 41:10.(Please) Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 Oh I see the doctor today for my fill and I wont Fear!!

  18. Yes Weight Loss Is Never Easy Its Hard Work!! I Got My Band on June 5th and Its Been a Struggle But Please Keep Telling Yourself as I Tell Myself! If It Comes Easy You Don't Want It Anyways!!! When The Weight Comes Off and People Tell You How Good You Look Take That Compliment and Run With It!!! Some Say We Took The Easy Way Having Surgery But I say NO I Took The Harder Way!!! I Got Cut! I Had Surgery, and I Took a Major Chance That Most Would and Could Not Take and If It Came Easy, I didn't Want It Anyway!!! You See Once You Submit To God and His Purpose For Your Life!!! He Will Make a Way Out Of No Way and Help You With the Lap Band Accomplish All Your Goals!!! Because God Helps Those Who Help Themselves!! And We Did!!!!
