***TUESDAY'S ROLL CALL***

Peg~ You have been our warrior! It is my HONOR to pray for you. Lord~ I lift up Peg tonight. I give her to you and entrust her to your care. Father, we have seen you do AMAZING things in Pegs earthly vessel. You have given her a second chance at life and she has decided to use it praising you and glorifying you. Lord, Peg is such an encourgement to all of us. PLEASE allow us to encourage her for a season. Father, heal her infirmaties. Make her shoulder WELL if it be your will. Lord, as far as weight loss is concerned, please have mercy. If you would Lord, let the pounds begin to come off. Father, Daddy God, mostly I just pray that you COMPLETELY HEAL her of the cancer that ravaged her tummy. Take it away, please Lord. Let us all celebrate with her in two years and rejoice with joyful praise at your works. We love you and we ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen I'll be praying for you Peg!

Good Morning Cindy and Everyone! Praise God for another day! Whoa! Busy around here - I imagine there are several of you who are busy too getting ready for Thanksgiving and the holidays. Cindy, you are in my prayers. We had surgery about the same time. I will be praying for your stall but you will probably get on the scale sometime soon and see a significant loss. I have an obsession with the scales so I am only weighing once a week because I know I will probably have times of stall and get frustrated. Two weeks would be frustrating. BTW, thanks for hosting the chat last night even though I couldn't make it - I am looking forward to some in the future. Peg, I will be praying for your shoulder and weight loss. I have been in physical therapy several times for my knees and I know that the people who are there for their shoulders really cry out in pain - shoulder pain is the worst. God be with you as you rest, especially at night. God be with all of you this week as you prepare for Thanksgiving and the holidays. I am going to lay out a feast for my family and then sit down and only eat 2 oz. of it. Please Lord, help me to focus on the fellowship of my family and not on the fact that I can't gorge myself. Amen. Love ya all! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Hi Lynda, I missed you last night too at the chat. It's almost like getting to talk with each other on the phone....almost. I had my husband take the scales downstairs so that I won't weigh as often!!! I hope it works! Have a blessed day! Cindy

Cindy - you are so cute but at least you know the scales are somewhere downstairs. I asked my husband to hide mine too and boy did he. One day I looked and looked until I was mad. He asked me what I was so mad about later and I sheepishly had to tell him that I had been trying to find the scales. Like I said - I have an obsession with scales. I know where every scale is in relation to others - mine, the doctors, the gym, etc. Funny thing though mine has the lowest weight!! Oh well, maybe someday I will be able to truly laugh at all of this. But I think, wouldn't be nice to be down where I'm suppose to be and then if I get on the scales and have gained say 5 pounds to be able to say, "oh, I better be careful the next few days!" I'll be there - yes! Love ya! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Good Morning Cindy, I just wanted to send you this link that Dame Tooter has on her profile,its regarding plataues(sp) It was helpful for me and I hope it'll be for you. http://www.bariatricbytes.com/plateaus.htmle I woke up early today,my mommie is coming over for Thanks Giving and I have to do extra cleaning today. AGH!!!!! Anyhow my husband played hookie yesterday and we went shopping for Christmas Decorations. He is getting into it this year. He even put up the Christmas tree last night. He helped me clean the house too. I tell ya sometimes I wonder about this man! He can give me grief but makes up for it afterwards. Well Cindy I'm not going to do much today,just clean,clean,and clean. I hope your stall will be over soon,don't fret my dear it's normal. Are you weighing yourself often? Don't,that's not good at all. I use to but nomore.I only weigh myself once a month.I have been working out and eating right,taking my protein and vits and It seems that I can never get out of 268 now thats annoying! But I know that i'm in the right track. I will be praying for you sweet friend. God Bless,Rosie

Thanks so much, Rosie, but every time I click on it, it just comes up "Page Not Found". I will go to her website and see if I can get on that page from there. Are you excited about your mom coming? Does she live far away? I have been weighing myself a lot since I've been "stuck"....and here I told myself before the surgery that I wasn't going to be a scale watcher! It sounds like you and your husband had fun yesterday. Don't over do it by cleaning too much!! Thanks again, Rosie, I'll check it out! Love, Cindy

http://www.bariatricbytes.com/ Cynthia try it again and just go under her search bar to find plataue.Luv ya! Rosie

I found it!! It was really good information! Thanks so much, Rosie! God bless! Cindy

Dame Tooter knows her stuff! God Bless You Cindy Rosie~

Hello Everyone! Cindy don't fret about the stall, it is perfectly normal. Although I am sure someone would have said this by now, your body has to make adjustments. If you measured yourself prior to surgery, measure again. You will find that even when the scale doesn't move those inches are dropping. If you didn't measure, DO IT NOW! It will help to give you a comparison when the inevitable stall/ plateau happens again...and it will. I will pray for you to have strength and patience and peace. It all helps. Peg, bless your heart, you have certainly had a time of it. Your strength comes from the Lord and He has certainly brought you through some tough times. Magnify your God and your problems will seem smaller. He can take care of it all. But I think you already know that. I pray you will continue on your journey to good health. To eveyone else I am praying for strength and peace for us all. We were given courage to have this surgery or the wisdom to try and I think we all know where it came from...Jesus! He is our strong tower, our source of strength and our protector. Sometimes things don't seem to happen on the time table we set...but His timing is perfect! We must strive to stay in His presence and His will. To all of you Happy Thanksgiving! May you all be safe and loved! Prayers and blessings, Sandy
