I've gained five pounds...ick.

Well at an already all time high of 344, I have now added five to it. To put me at one of my greatest fears. One pound away from being to heavy for the scale at the doctors office. This is really awful. I am not going to cry on and on, so just pray for me please. Pray that this grip of food will be loosed. And that God would make a way for me to have this surgery, if it's His will. My children keep me very busy, so I am not always able to be on the computer, but I try to look over things once or twice a day. You are all beautiful people. I believe your prayers healed my daughter. As soon as I posted she was sick, she was better!! I love the Lord and I thank Him for His kindness and goodness. Fat or not fat I will serve the Lord. I just would like to feel better doing it, and for many more years than I have now. Thank you, God bless you, Candy

Hi Candy. I remember when I had to lose some weight before surgery. It isn't easy. And boy did I pray. If it was easy we wouldn't have weight problems. But it's not. Try to do the best you can and let the Father work in you.

Candy I remember gaining 4 lbs preop. I had weighed 331 on my first consultation on a few days before surgery I weighed 335. I was so freaked out but just prayed for God to help me utilize my tool after WLS. Hang in there. Lifting you up in prayer, Letty

Oh, Candy, I can feel your frustration and the old devil will always try to bring despair, BUT Jesus really does have the answer for you! Just keep seeking Him and crying out to Him....He promises to answer! Love you! Cindy

Hey, Candy I have to tell you we weigh the same.. we could be twins! When i started curves in Oct 344 was me now i'm up... sheeesh.. and I have 7 kids that keep me super busy. Maybe we can help eachother.. email me if your interested. God bless and keep you! Amber

Thanks everybody. To be totally honest....I am scared out of my mind. I feel like a freak. I really don't know how to get a handle on all of this. I guess I try not to think about all the negatives too much for fear of being overwhelmed. But the truth is my body hurts EVERYWWHERE, I think I have sleep apnea, my doctor thinks I have fibromyalgia, and now I gained weight. OK, so now I am crying on and on ... sorry. I will just keep telling myself the same things, God is good and in control. I can do all things through Him that strengthens me! (now I just have to really believe it) Thanks again for your support and prayers. God bless you, Candy

Just now reading this and wanted to say I can identify with what you are saying. I think most of us can. I pray that you will be blessed in your efforts and guided in what you choose to do. Blessings! Gina

Candy, I know you already know this, but I am going to tell you anyway. Satan is trying to beat you up and you don't seem like the person that likes to get beat up. Just as I am seeking strength and endurance with my new job, you should be seeking the same with your weight loss. You may telling yourself that now is a great time to have sutgery, but you must remember that God can see things that you can't and He may see that it isn't a good time to have surgery. What ever the reason is for making you wait, I'm sure that it is a good one. God knows what you want and He knows what you need and HE will meet your needs first. Your doing just fine girl, don't sweat the petty stuff. Remember, we are all beautiful, it is the sin that makes use ugly. Once the sin is gone, only the beauty will shine, like a ray of sunshine. have a blessed day Ken

Hi Candy! You are precious. I understand the frustration you are going through and how it affects everything. I will be praying that God's will will be done in your life concerning your weight and surgery. Please keep us posted and I will continue to pray. I love you! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Hi Candy. I am joining you in prayer, dear sister. I've been there. Most of us have. Some still are. Thank you for your honesty. I know that your being open to discuss your fears is helping someone else out there right now. Fear is okay as long as it doesn't freeze us in our tracks and keep us from doing what we know we need to do. You are NOT alone. We're right here with you, lifting you up to the Lord, Candy. God bless you. Love, Peg
