Some Christmas Cheer


Anwyn

Recommended Posts

My hubby forwarded these to me... Merry Christmas everybody! :(

Twas the day after Christmas, and all

through the house,

Every creature was hurting, even the mouse.

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead,

Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.

Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor,

While upstairs the family continued to snore.

And I in my T-shirt, new Reebox and jeans,

Went into the kitchen and started to clean.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,

Tore open the curtains and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;

The patch on his jacket said "U.S. Postman."

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox;

Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.

Bill, after bill, after bill, they still came.

Whistling and shouting, he called them by name.

"Now Dillard's, now Broadway's, now Penny's

and Sears

Here's Levitz's and Target's and Mervyn's - all here!

To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall,

Now charge away, charge away, charge away all!"

He sprang to his truck, and he drove down the road,

Driving much faster with just half a load.

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer.

"Enjoy what you got - you'll be paying all year!"

(composer unknown)

AND THEN THERE WAS THIS COUPLE.....

Who had been debating buying a new vehicle for weeks.

He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports car to

zip through traffic around town. He would have settled

on any ole beat up truck. But everything she liked was

way out of their price range.

" Look! " she said. "I want something that goes from

0 to 200 in just a few seconds. Nothing else will do.

Christmas is coming up, so surprise me!"

He did just that. For Christmas, he bought her a

brand-new bathroom scale.< /p>

Nobody has seen or heard from him since.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
