severly depressed
Hi Benny...
Normally I just lurk but something about your post struck a nerve....are you going to be ok? Is it just nerves or is there something else wrong? And most importantly, do you have someone you can call or talk to about this issue? I hate to see anybody this down...please, please, please let us know if there is something you need. And trust me, I am praying for you.
Hang in there buddy...

Benny could it be because you don't believe in your heart that you can lose the 35lbs? Because I believe in my heart that you can and will do it. You have all of our support and you have God on your side. I know 35 lbs sounds like a lot and it is, but you can do this. You are a strong caring man, and you care about others and we all care about you. I understand deep down you are thinking, "If I could lose 35 lbs that easy I wouldn't need the surgery." But we all know that we can lose it, it's keeping it off and not gaining more back that is the big problem with most all of us on this board I would bet on it. But you are surly in my prayers. Keep your chin up and if you need to talk I will send you my phone # if you want to call me. But this is the right time of year to lose weight even. All the fresh fruits and Veggies are really good. Instead of chips try carrot chips with fat free ranch dressing for dip. For sweets nothing beats fresh strawberries dipped in SF chocolate Jell-O made with skim milk. Yummy. And not fating at all. If you want more ideas like these just e-mail I got a few. Now put a smile on that handsome face of yours and face this day with the lord, as he is there for you and will help you if you ask him.

Benny,
All I can add to what Peggy and Sky have said is, talk. Talk to us, your family, your pastor, or your doctor. And put your faith and trust in the Lord. I will pray for you.

Benny please stop and think how much the Lord has blessed you so far now it is time for you to do some more work that is all. You can lose the 35 pounds. That is a lot in 2 months but you can do it I know you can. This isnt a matter of wanting to lose it , you have to lose it. You dont want your surgery date canceled . You know you can do it . God is on your side and so are all your friends. Please come to the meeting on Monday we will all help in any way we can. Love you friend Jan
It's just the idea that you have to lose the 35 lbs. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I don't know you, but I just know you have God looking over you, to help....I am on liquids for 2 weeks to try and get my BMI down some more while I wait for Ins. I can relate...We are all in this together and we WILL HELP YOU any way we can..Keep your chin up and I will pray for you!!!
