IN OTHER NEWS, ON APRIL 02, 2007, I WEIGHED 466LBS WHICH WAS MY ALL TIME HIGH PRIOR TO WLS, AND I LOST OVER 70LBS PRIOR TO MY RNY SURGERY ON JULY 11, 2007. I WEIGHED 353.5 LBS ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO. I AM DOING PRETTY GOOD, AND I JUST PASSED MY DOT PHYSICAL AND MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR WAS WELL PLEASED WITH MY IMPROVING HEALTH. I HAVE BEEN OFF ALL MEDICATION EXCEPT I HAD A FLARE UP WITH MY GOUT PROBLEMS AND HAD TO START TAKING MEDICATION FOR THIS CONDITION AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN RED MEAT ETC TO MAKE SURE I GET ENOUGH PROTEIN.
THE FIRST TIME I ATE A BUFFALO BURGER IT MADE ME SICK. I AM NOW ABLE TO EAT IT WITHOUT TOO MUCH PROBLEM AS LONG AS I GO REAL SLOW AND DON'T WOOF IT DOWN, "OH HOW THAT OLD FAT BOY MAN HE WANTS TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET, BUT I'M LOCKING HIM IN THE TRUNK AND THROWING AWAY THE KEY!!! YOU'D BETTER AT LEAST GIVE ME AN AMEN BROTHER ON THAT ONE!!! LOL. I AM SORRY THQAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ON HERE FOR A WHILE. I HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY TRYING TO HELP MY FAMILY. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A MAJOR FAMILY CRISIS WHICH IS PRIMARILY MY FAULT CAUSE I HAVE NOT FOUND A JOB YET, BUT I AM LOOKING AND THE BILL COLLECTORS ARE HOUNDING US BIG TIME. MY WIFE AND I TRULY WOULD APPRECIATE ALL YOUR PRAYERS FOR US AND ALSO THAT THE LORD WOULD OPEN A DOOR FOR ME IN THE JOB SITUATION.
I HAVE BEEN SELLING ALL KINDS OF STUFF ON CRAIGSLIST IN RALEIGH AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF INTERESTING ITEMS POSTED ON PICASASWEB UNDER MY WIFE TANYA'S MIDDLE NAME: "ANN". YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS OUT, CLICK LINK:

I AM SO PLEASED THAT I HAD THE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT SHALL PROVE TO BE A TOOL USED TO LITERALLY SAVE MY LIFE. THOSE OF YOU CONSIDERING WLS,
YOU HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH LOTS OF HURDLES AND OVERCOME MANY OBSTACLES TO BE ABLE TO EVEN HAVE A WLS. IN MY OPINION, IT IS SO WORTH IT.
MOREOVER, THERE ARE SO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE ON HERE,
I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL, AND I AM GLAD TO BE BACK. I HOPE EVERYONE IS EXCEEDINGLY BLESSED, DOING WELL AND AS EXCITED AS I AM TO TRULY BE ON THE LOSERS BENCH. YOU ALL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND TOGETHER WE CAN PRESS ONWARD TOWARD OUR VICTORIOUS WEIGHT GOAL. MY GOAL IS:
177 POUND AND I SHALL GET THERE AND YOU CAN GET TO YOUR GOAL AS WELL. TAKE CARE AND KEEP ON ABIDING IN THE LORD AND HE WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN. I WILL DO MY BEST TO BE AT THE SUPPORT GROUP MEETING ON THIS THURSDAY. I WILL WEARING AN " I LOVE JESUS BALL CAP," IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FINALLY MEET SOME OF YOU. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND HELP YOU TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART TO KEEP ON LOSING AND YOU SHALL TRULY BE THE WINNER!!! SHALOM!!!
ETERNALLY IN JESUS,
REV. LEVI SIMEON BENJAMIN

Dear Rev. Levi,
Blessing to you in the name of Jesus! We have been concerned what happened to you and are pleased to know you are back and doing well. I have prayed on your job situation. You know the great power in prayer! Through God all things are possible brother. I am believing you will be working very soon.
Are you looking for a job strictly in ministry or are there other jobs you will do? How far are you willing to commute? You live in Raleigh? Just wondering. I know of a factory job here in Mebane, but that may be too far for you to drive. You would have to be hired through the temp agency Adecco in Burlington on Huffman Mill Rd next to Panera's.
Many blessings brother,
Diane

DEAR JENNIFER, 09/25/2007 11:37AM EST
PEACE BE UNTO YOU IN JESUS NAME!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO MY LATEST POST. I JUST WENT TO MY SURGEONS OFFICE TO WEIGH TODAY AND I WEIGHED 346.50 LBS. I STARTED MY DIET PRIOR TO MY SURGERY ON APRIL 02, 2007 AND I WEIGHED 466LBS AND I AM PLEASED THAT I HAVE LOST EXACTLY 119.50 LBS. GLORY TO GOD!!!
I HOPE AND PRAY ALL IS GOING WELL FOR YOU WITH YOUR WEIGHT LOSS AND ALSO WITH YOUR HEALTH.
THERE IS NO DOUBT, I SHALL BE FAITHFUL, AND GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL EVEN WHEN I FALL SHORT OF HIS GLORY.
HAVE AN AWESOME DAY AND THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
ETERNALLY IN JESUS,
REV. LEVI SIMEON BENJAMIN 
Good to hear from you again, Levi! And congratulations on the enormous strides you have made so far in your WLS journey! I will pray that you are sent a solution to your financial dilemma soon. That DOT physical: does it mean you are considering driving a truck? Keep searching...you will be sent something soon!
All the best,
Amen Brother! Congratulations on your success thus far Levi! I am sorry to hear of your trouble, but believe that God will take care of you. He will never see His children forsaken. Keep your chin up and your mind open to where He's leading you.
Take care.
Ellen
Own it all, it's yours!
