I'm here nearly every day.  I only post a few times a year, but I could never make it without all of you and your stories.  I am suffering financially right now and am out of protein powder and can't afford to buy any right now.  I will be having my 2 year anniversary on 8-28 for RNY.  If anyone has any protein powder that they aren't using anymore or don't like for whatever reason I would really appreciate it if I could have it.  This is a very hard post to make.  It is very embarassing to ask for help.  I hope I don't offend anyone.  It's been quite the year so far.  My husband is self employed (Carpet Cleaning) and business has almost come to a complete half.  Gas prices?  I don't know.  He's out hustling all he can.  I am on social security disability and am preparing to have a pain pump implanted on 8-14 for major back pain.  I also had a total knee replacement a year ago in April and now that is kicking up.  I told my husband last night that if I had life insurance on myself I could kill myself so he could pay the bills.  Yes I'm seeing a therapist!  I know what you all are thinking.  The bills are piling up and the phone calls are never ending.  They want to reposess my husband's truck.  Got that call last night, but luckily they are going to try to work with us.  If he losses his truck, he can't work.  I've tried getting a loan, but that really makes no sense.  I have no family they have all died, so I can't ask for assistance.  I've lost most of my so-called friends due to losing weight.  Anyone else have that happen?  so I can't ask for help from them.  Anyway, I HAVE to keep up with my protein powder and vitamins and all I have are all of you to ask for help from..  I'm sorry it's such a depressing post, but it actually felt really good to get it off my chest.  I am located in Central California and could possibly muster up some money to help pay for postage if need be.  Please let me know if any of you can be of assistance.  I want to thank everyone *****ads this post and I look forward to hearing from someone.  Hugs to you all!  YOU have ALL done a wonderful job and I just love having you all in my life.

p.s.  I would love to post a picture, but I don't have a clue how.  I'm really stupid when it comes to this type of thing.  I have one in my e-mail that a friend took, but don't know how to put it in here.  Maybe someone can walk me through that as well?

Hello! Please never feel you cant ask for help sister! Being a single mother for 18 years ( now a single granny) If I had a need I made sure it was known.. to God or to people. I was always taken care of .. be it food or money for bills. I always ask people if they have prayer requests or specific need so I can prayer for them.. that way when God answers.. you know he helped ya! I do not have powder for I have not had the surgery yet but I am so happy you asked for I will be praying for you!!! =)
