21 Weeks Post Op VSG

Hey Everyone,
I am back! I’ve been recovering well from surgery! The Lord has lead me in every step! Thank you all for praying for me and encouraging me along the way. I have had lots of questions about the process so I’m going to answer it all here. My surgery day was 9-9-19. I had surgery at covenant medical center in Lubbock Texas with Dr. David Syn. My starting weight was 258 pounds and this morning I am weighing in at 182 which means I’m down 76 pounds so far. My goal weight is the 130’s! Each day I learn something new but I never get away from knowing I still can’t do this on my own. I have to have the Lord! The Lord is my strength, my shield, and my hiding place! The most asked questions are. What do I eat. At the moment my day looks like a green smoothie with Thrive lifestyle mix in the flavor vanilla or chocolate, lunches are salads loaded with fresh veggies and protein. I can eat about 1/2 of a cup. Dinner is protein veggies and a tiny amount of starch. I try to get in 80-90oz of water a day or more. I have a protein coffee every other day. Next question is am I tired? Yes. Most days I fall asleep my 8:30 pm and don’t wake up until 4:30 AM. But it does get better. What do I do to workout? I was lifting weights and doing cardio but I can’t consume enough in a day for those workouts to be effective so for now until I can handle more food I am just doing all different kinds of cardio. Walking, running, elliptical, pound fit, hiit cardio. Whatever I can fit in. Loose skin? Definitely but In 5 years I’ll be right where I’d like to be. Is it a quick fix? Absolutely not. Everyday I have to pick healthy food and water over hamburgers and French fries. It’s no cake walk! I hope this blog helps anyone looking into VSG! It’s been the best thing I could have ever done.

Love you all,
Jordyn 💕

NOW WORD! Jim Spradley

Hey Everyone, Today the Lord has shown me specifically to share this NOW WORD that the Lord gave my Grandpa Jim Spradley. Please Share! My name is Jim Spradley. I am a naturalized citizen of the United States, born in Alberta, Canada in 1950. My father was sent there at the time as an employee of the Texas Oil Company (Texaco).  My parents were transferred to Texas when I was six months old. My wife Judy and I have walked with the Lord for the last 30 years. Our calling has been primarily in the marketplace. We are not well known, and as some say, have been somewhat hidden....in management on ranches in New Mexico, managing an Oil Field chemical business and also owning a very successful business in a small community in southwest Texas which the Lord had us sell about four years ago. I have been a spiritual father to many sons, especially in the last fifteen years. We currently reside on a mountain peak between Ruidoso and Alto NM.  As I have grown in the Lord...

No Disconnect

Hey Ya'll, It's such a blessing to see that God is using this blog in over 13 nations. Only God could do something like that. Thank you all for reading and sharing this blog.  I want to share with you what I have been seeing lately. It's really heart wrenching to know that people feel unloved, unwanted, and ashamed. I guess my heart is so gripped with this because, I use to be that person. Even though I knew what my Mom always would tell us but I had trouble believing it. Why though? because any other time I was "loved" on earth I had to earn it. Like being in a relationship you don't say I love you until you've been together for like 4 years. hahahaha It literally makes me laugh because, love can't be earned. It is a literal person. You have to encounter him, to love yourself and out of that place love other people. Ephesians 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with ALL the fullness of God. Th...
