2nd Thoughts

Hello All, I wanted to post a quick note: Since we had the fire I find myself thinking twice about having this surgery and I know it is because of what we just/are going through. I am sure I am trying to just hold on to what I DO have and that is my eating for comfort and now I am scared to have to give it up! I am still going to go through this because I know that is what I really want and I am not really sure why I wanted to post this but I guess what I need from my AMOS family is reassurance that this is true and that I am just holding onto this habbit while going through some hard times. Thanks as always, Debra

Hi Debra, I am sorry to hear you are having 2nd thoughts. You have been through so many trials and tribulations to get to where you are. Just stop and think about why you decided to do WLS in the first place. Maybe reading your own profile will help renew your feelings. Remember that God never gives us more than we can handle. He will get you through this. Your story is an inspiration and your encouragement to others is so real even though you are still working toward getting on the losing side. Take care and God Bless you and yours. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Brenda

Chris, Hun you are so sweets and I will email you regarding your posts....... thank you hun... Debra

Debra I am so sorry for all that you are going through. It probably does not get much harder than this and it is true God gives us what we can handle. I know that you know that the food doesn't really make it better, it is a quick fix. You are so worth this. Don't give up it will get better. I miss seeing you on this board. Tina

Debra: It's OK to have second thoughts, and thirds and fourths!!! You've had so many unplanned changes in your life that it's understandable that you want some part of it to remain the same. Just remember that all of us on this site are here for you. I will call you soon. Cheryl

Debra its understandable for you to feel the way you do. You've gone through many hard trials but through it all, God got your back. He is in control of every situation and with his love and assurance, you will make it. Be encouraged. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family in his loving arms. and ((hugs)) Glenda
