Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  PLEASE PRAY: I'm not doing good today.... I was going to write a post in Coffee Talk and then thought - "The God File" was a more appropriate place. I'm gonna try not to ramble.... I'm in a "sad state of malaise" today...one of my best friends in Texas called me today to tell me that the baby she is carrying has died. She's 22 weeks pregnant, and had a sonogram this morning...and they found no heartbeat. I'm sooo greived for Karen. She is the mother of 4 precious girls - and I've had the pleasure of being their godmother and present for each of their births. This baby was the "long awaited BOY!" She had a sonogram a week b/4 Christmas and had the stynographer write the sex of the baby on a card - and then whole family opened the surpise of if the baby was a boy or girl on Christmas morning- such a fun GIFT!! We all were sooo excited...this baby was sooo exciting...and that it was a BOY....everyone was sooo thrilled - esp. Karen and her husband. This strikes a cord for me...for the obvious reason...as well as another. The only time I've been pregnant - my baby died at 19wks. in utero. I've truly dealt with my grief over my miscarriage years ago...but it amazes me that something like this "stirs" old feelings...and with that - "Old Behaviors." It's strange that this 'old behavior' is totally subconscious.... I'm not thinking "I want to eat...medicate..." but...I've been thinking about food...and what to eat...snack...thinking I'm really hungry today. I was eating a EDY'S: Fruit Bar when I was reading an article Is The Bounce -back Weight Gain Inevitable? that Lisa posted....and realized as it said something about 'snacking' that this was exactly what I was doing. Only then did I do a 'selfcheck'...and realized I'm in an "old behavior." My miscarriage was the last time I was 185#'s....I was dealing with my grief - then is when I turned to food...and slowly crept up to my PreOp weight of 333. ::::sigh::::: This time....I decided to turn here to you all....instead of my fridge. I'm not good today. Please pray for me....and my best friend & her family. I'd greatly appreciate it. She is going to have a tough week....she is going to have to deliver her son sometime this week....which is a very difficult - giving birth to a child who is no longer living....then must bury her son...and help her children thru this tragic event. Thank you all for reading this....

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  my condolances during a tuff time for your friend and you. I am sorry your experiencing this at this time its difficult. I know you will be a great friend and be strong for our TX friend. VERY trying times. IM grateful to konw my post helped you control your eating during a trying time. I know I get my share of them too. JUST take things one meal at a time, one snack at a time during such a rough time. DURING my weight management councling i was told during stressful times turn to excersise when i can. EVEN if its as simple as takeing a water bottle and doing arm curls with it! I also know how hard this is stirring up a memory from your past too....i fully understand. ANYWAY, my deepest sympathy during this trying time.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | OMG Deborah I'm really sorry to hear about your friend great loss. I'm pretty sure that it has waken up your old feelings and that surely hurt. I know how it feels when a mom after 21 weeks of pregnancy with all its difficulty had to deliver unliving baby is so hard because I remember when my mom miscarried a baby boy who was I guess 16 weeks and when she brought him home she asked me to wash him pray for him and buried him. I remember mom, nany and I we prayed for him and buried him in our back yard under a Jasmine tree nany planted with her hand and mommy loved it so much. it was such a sad moment but I know and as Islam sympathizes moms like you and your dear friend that these innocent dead babies will call their mom in the judgment day and because they're so pure and flawless they haven't impurified with sins they can pray for their moms that May God get them with their moms in heaven. And that pray will be granted by almighty God. I know it must be hard, but think of it as a mercy from God to these moms. Love you a bunch my sweet friend, my heart is with you and your friend. Hanadi

| I am so sorry to hear about your loss and your friend's loss. I had a friend whose sister miscarried several times. And then last year she carried a baby girl to term. Her last appointment before delivering they found no heart beat. The cord wrapped around her neck and she died. She had to wait 7 days before being induced. I felt her pain......After all that, she made it through by surrounding herself with friends and family. The best thing you can do is talk about it. Don't keep it bottled up inside. You will pull through. My prayers are with you and your friend. Love, Wendy

| That's sad. Deb, My thoughts and prayers are sure with the family.  GOD! THAT IS AWFUL. Losing a child has to be the worst kind of pain ever. One that I would never want to experience. Not that losing any child wouldn't be bad, but being the boy this time must make it even harder. Words at a time like that don't seem to come out right. You to, Deb know how it feels, and it must be hard on you to. WELL, OBVIOUSLY IT IS. HANG IN THERE!I sure know the fridge thing, and the snacking thing. IT has been a really really bad couple of months for me to. A MAJOR STRUGGLE TO STAY AWAY FROM GOING BACK TO MY OLD EATING HABITS. It dealt with my wife. I can't really say what it was, eventhough I consider all of you my dear friends. Lots of times I wanted support, and thought of coming on to the site and posting it, but I didn't want my wife to get anymore upset than she already has been. THE HELL THAT COMES ALONG WITH FAMILY ISSUES IS TREMENDOUS. I have gotten wonderful support here, at home, but still wanted to come on to my friends here. Janae has been awesome through it all though. I GOTTA LOVE THE WOMAN FOR IT. SHE HAS BEEN JESS, WIFEY THAT IS, AND MY ANGEL SENT FROM GOD. I TALKED TO HER THE OTHER DAY FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS. YES, 3 HOURS. Without her, I don't think I, or Jess, could have gotten this far with our trial of life. HANG IN THERE THOUGH, DEB, and I will pray for that family and you. It has to be so terribly rough right now. Come here and post as often as you need to hun. We are all here for ya, and have or are having major probs ourselves in life. CHIN UP! mike |
