Hey Sherri,

Glad you like it! I couldn't think of any thing work related because you own a restaurant, so I figured whats a business owner need after a long day of work? Something to pamper themselves with. You better open it and you better use it!!!! Treat urself! So glad you like it.

You are so welcome, Amy. I too had a hard time with the "work related" thing, but I thought maybe you could use the basket/organizer thing on your desk and the "smelly" stuff - well that's just for relaxing AFTER work. Maybe light the incense, put on the CD, and climb in a hot bubble bath.

"Oh, Canada..."

My SWS gift arrived this morning!!!

Carol (Woodys), who is banded and currently at MY goal weight, sent a lovely box with the man in brown shorts. The card touched my writer’s heart, and you have my love of whimsy.

The picture is coming. I had to have a cup of mint medley and read one of the books.

The gift package included:

A tote bag with the caption: Writers Rule

The Wrong Word Dictionary (boy, will that come in handy)

Oxymoronica by Dr. Mardy Grothe (a book that was on my wish list)

A Canada mug filled with a variety of Bigelow teas (I am a mint tea addict)

Three resistant bands (most of the weight I’ve lost is by working out with bands)

A visor for Changes Fitness Centre for Women

A cap for Woodys Fine Dining

One summer, I am going to explore Canada. I’ve never been, but my SWS gift came from the Maple Leaf Land, and I am soooo hyped in the beauty of the country. And yes, when I go, I will have to visit Fenelon Falls, Ontario and Woodys Restaurant. Carol, the menus have my mouth watering. Plus, I can work off the delicious meal next door at Changes Fitness Centre for Women. All I need now is a clothing store for my new size.

Carol, thank you for such a lovely gift with so much thought to my occupation and things I love. I hope that we meet one day.

Joyce

I got my gift yesterday. Wanted to say a big thank you to my secret sam she took the time to find something special for me and I thank her so much. She sent me a cd of the music from an Aus. show that I love but can't see in the US anylonger and truly miss it. I have already listened a # of times the music is so soft and truly relaxing. Thank you my secret sam I would name you but I don't know your board name. With great thanks. Judy

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
