Please pray for my family



Recommended Posts

My youngest brother (28 years old) was found dead in his own apartment in New York this evening. We all live in Wisconsin and don't have any details until my other brother gets there tomorrow morning. My family is devasated. My parents are just walking shells of who they once were. He was the baby of our family....fit, healthy, athletic, successful and happy. Makes no sense. I still can't even believe it. My heart is broken for all of us--we had a great relationship--daily chats on the computer-jokes and an interesting writer/editor relationship with some short stories he was writing.

Painful, broken, and just devastated. Fine one minute, shocked disbelief, and crying the next. All we know is the police said no evidence of foul play/forced entry or suicide.

Makes no sense.

Kimber-lilly,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother...my prayers are being sent for you and your family.

I don't know where in Wisconsin you live, but I live in Wisconsin also....if we are fairly close, if there is anything I can do for you or your family, I would be happy to.

I live in a surburb outside of Milwaukee....Sussex, WI....where are you?

A thousand thank you's for all your support. I just got home after spending the day with my parents--took them to the funeral home to make arrangements--a scenario I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It really warms my heart to know that you all care. We are in northern Wisconsin--on the border by Iron Mountain Michigan--and I appreciate all your offers to help. Nothing to do, really. I will try to hand it over to God, like you said.

Your thoughts and kind words are my buoy.

Kimberly

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
