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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
