xmas time poem



Recommended Posts

Twas the month before Christmas when up on the scale

I saw a number that made me turn pale

I looked back to the past, to the beginning of the year

and wondered out loud, “how the hell did I get here?”

I could have just waited until the first of the year

But that would only increase the size of my rear

Instead of sleeping late, curled up in my bed

I’ll put on my sweat pants and say healthy mantras in my head

I’ll head out the door at dawns first light

To Kabo and Kama these walks are a delight

We’ll walk around the block and even try to jog

It helps when your walking buddy is not one but two dogs

I’ll fight with courage and determination

To rid my body of this abomination

I’ll work my ass off and I’ll eat right

I won’t give up til I win this fight

I’ll head to the store to chose healthy dishes

I’ll grill up veggies, lean meat and fishes

My body will be happy and start to look lean

Join my adventure, you’ll see what I mean

When I go to parties, I’ll make a plan

To the food pushers, I’ll make a stand

I’ll spend the night munching on crudités

So I won’t feel guilty at all the next day

I’ll be mindful of portions and their sizes

I walk, I’ll lift and try new exercises

And when the first of the year does arrive

I’ll smile with delight wearing a smaller size

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
