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,

Valerie

Thank you!

Oh that is my favorite now!

I will be using it all the time!!!

PTL = praise the Lord...

Does anyone know where I can find the thread that is PICS ONLY - I stumbled across it once and haven't been able to find it again! This board is soooooooooo big!!! 8-)

"Praise the Lord"!!!!!

Do you mean the "Before and After" thread?? It's not PICS ONLY... comments are allowed and then deleted after a couple of days. But there is also a place where you can post photo albums. Is that what you're looking for?

yes!!! do you know where it is?

The one where comments are allowed and then deleted after a few days.....sorry!!

i'm Sorry All I Feel So Sillly Asking This But Some Of The Verbage Iam Still Not Used To Even After Alomst A Year Of Posting On Lapband Talk, So What Does "ptl" Stand For?

p.t.l. Praise The Lord !

i Feel Like People Are Watching Me. Especially, I Think That They Look At My Amount Of food And Think "who Is She Kidding".

I Know That I Became Hugely Aware Of How Much People Ate (including My Family) And How Much I Used To Eat. It Grosses Me Out At Times To See Them Shoveling In Large Bites Of Food, And Barely Chewing.

Hugs To All :thumbup:

You Sure Have Did Great In A Year. It's Been Almost A Year For Me And I Haven't Did Near As Good As You. My Port Flipped Over Had To Have Another Surgery But I Can't Seem To Get Started Again. What Are You Eating? I Seem To Either Throw Up Or Have Pb's Alot. I Don't Know If I'm Not Chewing It Up Enough Or What I Just Have A Hard Time With meat. Got Any Tips. Thanks Sharon

PTL so glad to find Christians to talk to. I am waiting for insurance approval any time now. Would you all pray for me that the doctor will be able to do my surgery. I have had 2 major surgerys in the past were I was opened up and I have alot of scar tissue so the doctor says he may have to wake me up and tell me he couldn't do it. That would break my heart (plus really tick me off LOL). So please pray for me that everything will work out and again I say PTL. Thanks all and God Bless you.:thumbup:

Yes teacherofk, you are prayed for! :tt2:

I just awoke with an odd/disturbing dream (not uncommon for me). I stumbled right into the kitchen and started eating a small size

Popsicle!! That is old behavior for me :thumbup:. I am only 10 days out post-op, and am being shown that:

1. my issues are still here

2. by God's grace, it was only a small Popsicle, and not a bag of Cookies

3. I now have tools and support to deal with this

Any suggestions...besides prayer, lol THANKS!

I jsut want to take a moment and THANK God!!! He knows I need my band and I have been praying about my wright for as long as I can remember!! I will have my surgery on 6-30. I will have my monthly visitor then , will it matter?:thumbup:

Congrats Fish! Your monthly shouldn't be a problem. If you cramp during it, then maybe some extra meds may be needed. And if you get the heparin shot in the belly, that might cause you to bleed a little more than usual. Still to be on safe side, i would mention it to your doc. Some are quite picky! God bless!!
