***Saturday's Roll Call****

Good Morning Gang, I am on my way to my Mom's house to study in peace and quiet. I had a bad night last night with the bid D again. 6X in 3 hours. That's not as bad as it has been but its the worst its been since leaving the hospital. Hopefully, this will clear up in time. I am also having a hard time with eating and drinking. I think the D and not being able to eat and drink go hand in hand. Please keep my situation in your prayers. It has been so great to see everyone checking in at the roll calls. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing and what areas you need prayer in. I go through the roll call every night and lift each one of you up in prayer. So....you know that someone will be praying for you if you post on the roll call! I hope you all have a Jesus filled day! Love, Jacinda

Oh, NO! Jac~Sorry to hear that. I prayed that God would take away your pain and uneasiness. You poor thing! I am doing fine. I have been trying to eat healthier pre-surgery. Now, I am waiting for insurance approval so I can schedule surgery. I am feeling all those usual feelings: Is this a good idea? I don't want to change my life, I LOVE my life. But I want to be healthy and run with my children...yada, yada yada. Prayin' for peace. God is opening doors with this surgery process so I will have to continue to trust Him!! Praying for all my OH brothers and sisters in Christ~ Becky

Good morning Jac and Becky. Jacinda I hope and pray that things are better for you. Just sighning in today. We usually have outreaching every Saterdays but the Pastor gives us "Free" family Day every first Saterday of the month and we are bored. I was looking on board to see if there are any get togethers. Will I hope everyone has a Blessed Day today and Jacinda you go get your quiet time on. Luv ya. Rosie

Hello Everybody! Jacinda, I just prayed for you that the Lord would heal what ever the problem is that is causing the "D", In Jesus Name!!!! That He will make you every whit whole!!!!! Thank You, Jesus!!!! Can you believe this!!!????......another 7 pounds of water gone in one day!!!! I am down -51 pounds from the top weight in the hospital....full of water....and -35 pounds from my preop weight!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!! They say that when you have a lot to loose though, that it comes off easier at the beginning. But, I want to enjoy this while I can!!!! I am able to get around so much better than I have in months!!!!!!!! Just think...two weeks ago, I was carrrying 50+ pounds more on me!!!!! No wonder I can walk better!!!!!! PTL!!!! Just wanted to share! Take care, and get your rest, too! Love you, Cindy

Thanks for the prayers guys. Becky, I totally understand what you mean about keeping up witht the kids. That was one of the biggest reasons for me getting this surgery. I want to be able to play with my kids and not feeling like they are missing anything because of my obesity. I will keep praying for you about having the surgery. God will make His will known. Cindy, All I can say is WOW!!! 51 pounds in what??? 2 weeks? I have also heard that the bigger you are, the faster you lose. I saw a show on the Discovery health channel about a 600 lb woman who had the surgery. She lost 200 lbs in 2 months!!! Can you imagine??? She also spent alot of time in this hospital for various complications...in and out for about 9 mos. if I remember correctly. I am so excited for you about your fast weight loss as long as it is making you feel better. I am praying that it will come off in a very healthy way and that you will have many good days being a big loser. In fact, tonight I am praying or healthy weight loss for all of us and no more hospital visits for those of us already on the other side. Rosie, I hope you guys had good outreach today. My family goes to church on Sat nights. We go to a pretty big church so the expanded to Sat night services. I LOVE going on Sat nights!!! I told the family to go on without me again tonight. I have now missed 5 weeks of church since the surgery. I just did not feel up to it tonight. I am feeling pretty naucious on top of the "D". I am drinking some herbal tea right now hoping it will sooth the ole pouch. I really want to get back to church soon. I miss it so much. On this point, I use Peg as my inspiration because I know she missed a couple of months after her second surgery. And still she has that awesome positive attitude! I love you guys. I will be praying for you all tonight! Love, Jacinda
