OH girls thank you so much for your wise words of wisdom , I will admit I did cheat with one slice of tomato and one bite of cucumber , those garden vegies just beat me down it is only day three and when I think about wanting something to eat that is when it is time for me to have another nasty shake lol I decided it tastes like strawberry calves milk , LOL if none of you came from the farm you would not understand , and no I never drank it , just the smell LOL but any way usually it is at night that I get hungry so last night I made sugar free pudding and ate that and seemed much more content , tonight I am going to make the sugar free pudding with a vanilla shake and that way I won't have to drink two of them . I am sure that I will complain much more before the 10th comes . But thanks girls

You can do this!!  It's only 2 weeks.  Take it one hour, one day at a time.  I worked the first 5 days and my co-workers kept me on track.  There's just hubby and me and he took care of his eats during that time. 

Tomatoes would never tempt me but othere foods did.  I kept thinking I had to do this to get the surgery.  What if I got there on THE day and the surgeon said no because I didn't follow the diet.  Not sure that would have happened but it kept me going.

After surgery you won't be hungry.  Your husband needs to help you out here.

Topic: Daily Bible Reading - Sunday - August 29th

Job’s friends keep telling him that he has sinned and is being punished for it but Job still insists to his friends they are wrong, that he is innocent and we all know Job is innocent.  He still stands by God but insists on meeting God, meeting his judge, in the last few books of Job we’ll see God finally speak up, it’ll be interesting to see what God has to say to Job.  I’d sure like to be there to see the look on Job’s friends face when God speaks to Job.  I wonder what went through their heads when they finally find out Job really is innocent, what an encouragement it is to watch Job be unmoved in his stand.

Today’s Reading

Job 31:1-33:33
2 Corinthians 3:1-18
Psalm 43:1-5
Proverbs 22:8-9

Daily Devotional

Psalm 56:8, NLT

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book.

Do you know how important you are to God? He cares so much about every detail of your life. He cares about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In fact, what you are going through is so important to Him that He records every sorrow and collects every tear you've shed. Why would God record your sorrows and collect your tears? It's because He loves you so much. He is your Vindicator. He's keeping account of every wrong that's ever been done to you so that He can make up for every single one of them. He wants to restore everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every single hurt and pain. He sees the longings and desires of your heart, and you can rest assured that behind the scenes He is working things out for your good!

I want to remind you today that God is with you. He is on your side. He has your best interest at heart, and He is working to bring restoration and peace to every area of your life. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep doing the right thing because the One who collects your tears will restore every broken place in your life!

A Prayer for Today:

"Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and setting me free. Thank You for being my Vindicator. I choose to release every hurt, pain and sorrow, knowing that You will make all things new. In Jesus' Name. Amen."




I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The office number is (314) 205-6060.  She isn't an expert in Weight Loss Surgery, but was supportive in what I needed for my insurance company and surgerons office. 

You may need to find out what you need from your insurance as well as your surgeons office.  If you need the PCP letter and labs, she can do that for you.

I went to her knowing exaclty what I needed and she told me that weight loss surgery was a good option for me.

 Day three and eight were the hardest for me. I felt like food was everywhere. Day three I got my carb headache. That kinda took my mind off food. You can do this. Remember its only two weeks. After surgery you won't be hungry. It really does get easier I promise. I hated those shakes and chicken broth. The sugar free pops helped a lot. You won't be hungry in a few days. I know I thought I wouldn't be able to but when I got hungry I cooked. Of course I cooked stuff that wasn't my favorite but I still cooked. You just need to stay busy. Get a glass of ice and suck on ice chips to get the feeling of eating. Freeze some crystal light if you have it so you have flavor. Hang in there . Get on here and complain if it helps,we'll listen.

Mindy this is the hardest part since you still have your big stomach and not the tiny little one you will have later. but if you are going to cheat make sure it is with something that wont throw you back into carb  desire lol carbs wants more carbs ,,,,there is no such thing as only one tiny taste of that cake or biscuit or what ever..you know as of right now you need to start cooking healthy for your kids and your husbands health too. do it little and gradual....like gradually replace sugar with splenda, they will never notice it if you do it first in cooking ...
replace deep frying with baking or pan searing and cooking ....
i think a couple of slices of tomatoe wouldnt be a bad thing to cheat with just re,e,ber this......Keep your eyes on the prize .....and keep thinking about how cute you are n going to look in that new pair of jeans you will be able to buy in that tiny little size.

I do not know how you all have done this!! I went to the doctor yesterday and was there from 7:30 am and got home at about 3:00 pm I had the whole run down , endo, ecko , exray, ekg, you name it they did the whole lot. But here is my struggle it is only day two of not being able to eat anything , I do not know how you all did it ? I am sure I will make, but do not know how !! If any of you have any suggestions that will help make it easier . I think one of the hardest is still having to cook for hubby and boys ! Then the darn neighbor had to bring over about 15 fresh from the garden tomatoes, just to torture me I am sure LOL Hope you all have a wonderful weekend , and pray he sends me strength Mindy

Topic: RE: WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY
 Jeanie its so easy to accumulate stuff and no one ever thinks about what those we leave behind have to go thru disposing of our stuff.  I am beginning to think about what will become of all my stuff and know most will go in the tra**** won't matter if it is valuable or not. I keep telling myself get rid of stuff now but its so hard to do.

I am beginning to wonder if its arthritis in my butt. Its only on one side but it hurts. I go to the doctor this coming week and will be sure to ask him  about it. I don't think this a padding issue. I have to decide what to get fixed next. I think DH will spring for one more plastic surgery and I have to decide fast. Arms ,boobs or face? Need a scar revision on my legs also. I am leaning toward the face.

 Have a great Saturday.
 Miss all our old folks who aren't posting anymore.
