Perhaps....the Lord has given you "Mountains" instead of "Hills"...because he already knows that you WILL succeed...but, he also wants you to SEE at the paths end just how very very strong you truly are. In doing so, you'll one day read a 'blog' such as yours and 'connect' and be the tool for God's words to help another with the path over their "Mountain". You will succeed, in all areas of your life in God's time....not yours....and you WILL look back at this time and realize how very important it all was in just the way it all happened to be the YOU you will find when all the "battles" have become nothing more than little 'efforts' you can live with! You are NEVER alone! :tongue:

I think I'm just really uncomfortable with having to move slow and deliberate and the added discomfort of the bloat, gas and pressure on my diaphragm causing pain in my shoulders. I know this will pass (pardon the pun) and by next week I should be doing very well. Anxious!! :wub: I am too getting burned out fast on the protein shakes and yogurt....I think I'm a bit hungry!

day two for me....pain meds almost gone...haven't slept well, haven't yet showered and I too am afraid to do much. Just trying to turn in bed is painful enough to make me nervous about 'undoing' something inside. I had a head cold going into surgery, so I'm still fighting that trying to cough hard though it hurts in attempt to keep my lungs clear. I am really looking forward to having this all at least two weeks behind me, I really loath feeling so incapable and 'hospitalily' :wub:

I'm still learning how to utilize this site...apparently I blogged to the 'visitor' spot.

So, my first day with the Band is blogged there.

Thanks much!! I'm nervous and just hoping all goes well and I'm up and about quickly as I am a 'challenged' bed rester!!

Tomorrow is 'band day' for me....6 a.m.

I've not lost the 5 pounds suggested I lose...and to top it off I've a nasty head cold! But, no fever....so the nurse say's I'm good to go. My BMI 37.5, my height 5' 3", my weight 211 lbs, my age 56. I pray this all works out for me, as my knees, feet and back can no longer take the weight and my mind can no longer take the pain!! Prayers pls!!!
