Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hello : It's a privilege for me to lift you up in prayer for your current situation. I will not only pray for your health but for reconciliation with your son. Just remember that when it seems that there is no way out and you don't see the light and the end of the tunnel if you trust in Jesus and have complete faith in Him suddenly a beautiful horizon will form right in front of your eyes. Just hold on and allow Our Precious Heavenly Father to do His Work. At his time you will see how everything start falling in place. That's what I'm doing right now . Even though my medical situation right now is critical I know that I'm going to get better and when that day comes I'm going to sing praises to My Lord and Savior. blessings, Tony Nunez [ ] My Friends Hi I am asking for all of your prayers and support right now. I am going through some medical and personal problems right now . I have a lump in my breast and there is something on my pancreas. I may only be fibroid cysts or fat but at this time they are looking to do further testing. I had some tests done yesterday and will have more on Saturday. Blood work was done on Friday. On the personal front my 18 yr old has turned rebellious and after staying out until1:30 in the morning last night I grounded him and he packed his clothes and moved out. My husband isn't even home yet so I still have to tell him . is only in the 11th grade and I hope he comes to his senses soon. I am so worrried about him. Thanks for listening sorry to dump, the WV hillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 How are you feeling? Did I miss reading about you? Prayers are on the way, with the best wishes I can offer on both your health and your son! Health issues are scarry and there is always something. But kids/boys do grow up and settle in after a while. Be patient with him. Clara from OR [ ] My Friends Hi I am asking for all of your prayers and support right now.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 , I am confident the band will work for you, as long as you don't give up-you are only defeated if you stop trying. I understand what you mean by the scale determining whether your day was going to be good or bad, I went a little further and let the scale determine if I was a good or bad person. I have learned that the number on the scale, and what I did or didn't eat don't determine who I am. I do.  I am glad you decided to weigh less frequently. The focus needs to come off of food and on to other good things in your life. It can take a lot of time at first figuring out which band foods you can eat and which you can't, but once you set up a menu it gets easier to stick with it. I went from 269 to 150 in about a year (I was banded in 07) and I have kept it off, with no fill. I do have to always be aware of what I am eating, but it is no longer the focus of my life. I have gained a lot of confidence and time in my day, I no longer need to sleep 10 hours a night, 7-8 hours and I feel great. If you haven't added any form of exercise I would recommend you start, even if it is just a walk out to your mailbox several times a day, anything helps. I still listen to the bandster CD's that I got from Sandy originally, they have helped me adjust my views and attitudes towards food, I would highly recommend them. I can tell the difference if I stop listening to them for a week or so, I start craving high fat foods. Remember! The only way you won't succeed is if you quit trying. It is not easy, it is not quick, but you are worth it. From: ldh2664 <ldh2664@...> Subject: My Friends Date: Friday, September 10, 2010, 8:44 AM  I enjoy reading the posts daily and gain support from each one. I do not write often but felt like this might be a good time to chime in. I was banded on Feb 25th, 2010. I lost 34 pounds with in the first few months and to include the weight loss prior to surgery. (I have a large band and it was taking a " long " time to get it filled.) Over the past 2 months, I gave up and gained 10 lbs back. I was so upset with myself. I dreaded going to the Doctor's office for fear of being reprimanded for my lack of following the rules. See, it had taken so long to reach any type of restriction that I felt like I was dieting all by myself again, at the age of 46 this is a life long struggle of dieting on my own and failing. With a 14cc band being filled slowly it felt like no restriction. So, I had given up. I went in Tuesday and told the Nurse Practitioner how I felt, like it was not going to work for me like it had thousands of other people. I had tears in my eyes. She said " Do Not Give Up " , she gave me a fill which is now 9.6cc in a 14cc band, I wrote down all the rules again and put them in my purse, typed them in my IPhone and posted a reminder on my bathroom mirror. Then I prayed to God that this would work for me. I have alot of health problems and NEED this to work for me. For 24 hours I did liquids, then 24 hours of mushy, then this morning I tried to eat some Protein and low and behold I felt full quicker, more satisfied. I have a smile on my face in belief that yes, this is going to work for me. For anyone out there that is discouraged like I was, please hold on to the hope that this can work for you. I am holding on to that hope and am looking forward to the future when I can post again about all the success I have had with my band. I also made the decision to not weigh daily, but to weigh monthly. I was judging the day I was going to have by the number on the scale. If I had lost, I was allowing myself to splurge a little and if I gained, then " what the heck, I was going to eat what I wanted " , so with an attitude change and a new sense of this can work from me, I am starting over today with my banding and following the rules.
