If there are any Christians out there who are looking for special support during this time I thought we could start a thread related to this. It might help with those thoughts and doubts as to if this is the right thing we are doing or any other 'shares' that might come to mind. I could use some at this time in my walk.

Sister in Christ,

I haven't tried pizza yet. I agree with Phyllser that the thick crust might be a bit much to digest.

Thanks for the replies about pizza. I will try the thin crust only.

And there are other ways to satisfy your pizza craving... be creative. My Another pizza idea: DH is trying to lose some weight, too, so he just made himself some "pizza" for lunch. He used a slice of 45 calorie Sara Lee bread, toasted it, put some pizza sauce on it, a few pieces of diced ham, shredded some mozarella cheese on top and stuck it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. He let me have a little triangle...three bites, and it was very good.

Ummmm, sounds good, Phyllser. I think I'll try that.

Thanks for that idea! I will have to try it soon! God bless!

Hey everyone, checking in for the night. And, the pizza idea sounds good to me too. I have eaten one piece, but it kept getting stuck in my throat. I wasn't taking little enough bites. That seems to be something I do too often. I'm learning to do better though.

And, thanks so much for the prayers. I will let you guys know when I hear something new.

I make mini pizzas w/ whole wheat pita bread. It gets nice and crunchy and is really thin. I haven't tried any since my last fill because I'm nice and tight. Before that though I could eat half of little pizza.

It definitely satisfied my cravings and I've been craving this stuff in the worse possible way lately.

{{hugs}} and prayers for all today

I am forgetting sometimes to take little bites too. But the band remind me real quick. God bless!:rolleyes2:

Thanks to everyone for your helpful advise about pizza. God is so good to bless us with this site. God bless everyone. I will be praying for you all!

the same advice for hot dogs. take little bites. Boy, it is something trying to adjust to this last fill I got. But, I'm NOT complaining, after all, this IS what I asked for!!!

Hotdogs was going to be my next question. Thanks alot for your advice!

Thank you to all for your prayers and support. We drove to Coos Bay on Sunday the 27th in a pretty heavy snow storm. The truck slid into the other lane, but God kept his hand over us and we arrived safe and sound. Surgery was on the 28th and I spent the rest of the day sleeping in our motel room. Today the post op esophogram perfect and so was told all was well and could go home. However the snow returned and we decided to spent one more night. So tomorrow we will head out for Roseburg again. I'm ready to go and get busy loosing weight. Please pray, once again, for travel mercies. Thanks so very much.....Joy PS: The discomfort of surgery has been very well controlled by meds and also got medication for nausea to take home. Four dollars @ Walmart!!:frown:

Praise God for Joyross!!!!

I'm so glad you are doing soooo well!! I pray God will bring you home safely and for a speedy recovery :frown:

Hey, glad everything went well, joyross. I remember about four years ago we had a convention (work related) in Las Vegas. One of the ladies decided to drive. She and her husband were driving on a long flat road, no cars in site. She said she just got a feeling that God was telling her to be careful. She told her husband. Out of nowhere a car came speeding towards them, crossing over to their side of the road and fortunately, they swerved over, but came back ok. The other car did not. The car that was heading for them ran off the road and the driver was killed. God can do amazing things, and no one gets to know about them. so, Joyross, God will be looking out for His own. Take care.

And, Wombat -- saw your pics the other day on the before and after page -- you really looked good, big change! And, nice to see a face to go with the name.

Good morning all,

Joyross, glad to hear that everything went great. Take care of yourself,

walk, sip H2O, walk, sip, walk. Do you have anything for gas? If not get

something for the ride home and if you have some discomfort when you

sleep, lay on a heating pad. Be blessed. Continue to let us know how you

are feeling when you can.
