Hi all,
Today is taking care of me. Work out, wash hair, and I may do a recycle run. I am going to donate again to the swap shop. My husband has shirts he never wears and I get tired of transporting them.
What are you up to?

Hi all,
Today I am going to a different church. It's a large cherismatic church near my old one. A lady I met at Curves gave me an invitation. So I hope she shows up today. I need a kick butt service to help me overcome some of my "issues". Oh, that's ok, if you don't get what I am saying.
Anyway, after church, I am working at the vineyard, I think for the last time. Next weekend I go up to VA to visit hubby. We will be looking at places to live.
Have a great day all!

I'm believing divine health for us all.
I realized that you had mentioned you were nervous about the lifestye chanes that are coming up. I'll admit I wish had started some of them before surgery, but I had less time than I had expected. Anyway...I would highly recommend two books, both available as kindle books: The Emotional First + Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life after Bariatric Surgery by Cynthia Alexander; and The Success Habits of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients by Colleen Cook. They both address the process of change and working through the changes to successfully implement a new ifestyle. I hope these help.

Thank you so much for the encouraging word(especially from a believer)! I have a great support system. I have only told about 6 people including one good friend from my church. I am excited and have already confessed supernatural healing. Thank you Again! Wishing you the best on your progress

CONGRATULATIONS! I know exactly how you feel and I'm sure many other members do as well. It is a huge thing. I think it's absolutely normal to feel the apprehension and nervousness of having made the decision. For me my surgery date ended up being almost 2 months before I expected it to be based on my surgeon's timeline. I was thrilled for a moment then I started having doubts.
The on thing that weighed heaviest on my mind was that many loved ones in my church chided me for altering God's creation. I prayed diligently about that because I knew they were speaking to my from their hearts and from their beliefs, but I also knew that my eating had become gluttony...just out of control. One day as I was praying, Matthew 5:28 came to my mind and went to reread the passage Mt 5:28-30, it really helped to put my mind and my "Christian" conscious to rest. By the time my surgery date arrived I have total peace about my decision. I am a few days short of 4 weeks post-op and I only wish that I had done this sooner.
I would stop reading anecdotal blogs and stick to medical articles, but most of all when anxiety overcomes you, lift it up and let it go.
I'll be praying for you!
