<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. (unknown author)FROM MY HEART TO YOU ~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Well, it's been 11 weeks and I've lost 57 lbs. I think it's great! I'm worried that I can eat too much. (I can eat half a sandwich with regular bread) Is this normal this early? I am pleased with my weight loss and hope that I will continue to lose weight. Sometimes I worry that I've stretched my pouch. Is there a way to find out? I know of one lady who had a bypass 2 years ago and is now looking into getting a revision because she's gained a lot of the weight back. This is scary to me. Encouragement needed.

Congratulations on your surgery. I am 5 weeks post op and I feel great. Our reward is in the end. Keep on losing.

I made it to the losing side! I've gained a few pounds due to all the fluid they put in through the IV, but I know that I'll start losing weight soon. I'm a little sore and my stomach is very noisy, but I feel I'm doing great considering my insides were rearranged. Thanks to everyone who sent messages of support and prayed for me. Continue to pray that I'll have a speedy recovery. I'll update my profile soon so you can get the play by play (well, at least what I remember!)

By now, you should be lying in the bed wishing you had some water to drink!!! I'm sure that all went well. Dr. Fullum is one of the best at this. I was in your shoes 4 months ago and now I'm down 79 lbs. Hope to see you at the August support group meeting!!!

I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on your surgery. Take a deep breath, try to relax. Know that we all care about you and are wishing you the best. Think positive, it really does help. After surgery, REMEMBER, turn, cough, take deep breaths, and walk to prevent complications. Hold your incision when you cough, it helps it hurt less. Keep your profile updated, it may make a difference in the live of someone else. Smile, keep your chin up! And lastly, if your chin does fall, just remember, from this position it is easier to moon people! :) (Also, humor helps too!)
