    Gas problems

    Hi everyone. I got banded on friday the 31st. I cant distinguish hunger pains, from gas. I only have about 2 ounces of jello a day and 2-3 ounces of clear broth a day. The rest is sips of water every 15 minutes when i am not having jello or broth. I dont know if i am getting enough food in. I wont be going on yogurt and pudding until tomorrow.
  5. Absolutely!! That is what we need is people who can help one another!! Do you text?? Lately I have been consumed in cleaning out closets and haven't been online which I dearly love!! I hope all has been going well!! Hope to talk to you soon!!

  6. Hello, just checking to see how you are doing? Be encouraged!!!

  7. I hope God does a miracle and turn that around for you...if that is His will. This morning while I was driving to work I felt a tug at my spirit and this question in my heart...Are you having a hard time seeing past what you see right now? I am right there but I know that God is bigger than what I am seeing right now. I want to encourage you this morning...look past what you are seeing. Let God work out the situation for you. If the surgery is the way He wants you to go...than it shall be (without the bill), if this is not what He has for you at this time....don't be discouraged. He will direct you how to get the weight off. I am with you each step of the way. You can e-mail me anytime and we will encourage each other. Always remember, God knows what is best for us before we know it. Hope your day is filled with peace and not worry.

    Be encouraged!!!!

  8. I am so glad that I was able to encourage you with my words. I know that God has to be in the center of everything, even in the small decisions. Today I am trying to stay encouraged. I was suppose to be getting my lap band this morning but last night I received a call that since I was out of network I had to wait for a new approval date to be put somewhere in network. I thought the surgery was going to cost me nothing but now I will be having some out of pocket costs. I am struggaling to decide if I should have the surgery now since I cant afford to have a bill.

  9. You really did encourage me with your words. I am glad in a world of confusing and heartache...that someone still knows that it is only God that can bring us through. Yes, I would like to have you as a friend. Take it a day at a time. Be encouraged!!!!

    Healer....

    Healer….. I believe You're my Healer I believe You are all I need I believe You're my Portion I believe You're more than enough for me Jesus You're all I need I sang that chorus over and over as the song Healer played in my living room. All alone in my apartment I had a moment of breakthrough with God. I know something inside of me broke and was being healed. Something I didn’t even ever acknowledge as needing healing. We all have unspoken requests; many that we don’t even think need a touch from God. The writer of this song was suffering from an addiction no one knew about, which was later found. I do not know where he is at with his walk with God or his healing but I do know he wrote this song for his unspoken request. A request he was afraid to bring forth out in the open because his position in the church. No matter where we are in our walk with God there is always something inside of us that God is looking to heal and change in our lives. I know today is one of those days where I have learned something new about our God. That our God can move at anytime and any place. He knows our requests even if they are spoken or unspoken. I know the Lord has healed me from an addiction that I didn’t even know I had. The Lord has healed me from food and from the years I used it as a comfort and as an enemy. No request is too big or too small for him. You just have to surrender it all and really want the change. And believe that God can heal. O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. Psalms 30:2 You (God) satisfy me more than the richest feast. Psalm 63:5
