Fedex says that they delivered my parcel to my recipient on December 5th but left it at the front door without a signature. Could the recipient please let me know through this thread if you in fact received it.

Thanks,

Carol

Okay, You all should be proud. I didn't wait until the last minute this time. I got it all boxed up today and will be shipping mine tomorrow. Last time I used Postal Service's Priority Mail and it still took one week and they charged me 10.00. Would I be better to ship UPS. I have never shipped much stuff in my life as you can tell, LOL. Just wondering.

Thanks Barbara465

I recieved my gift today. What a beautiful Angel. I love Angels, they are all over my house. I also love the coaster /plaque " Sing like nobody is listening" I can not sing for Beans but when I sing I sing like no body is listening so it is perfect for me and the pampered chefcookbook will come in handy for me. I just this week got a new oven and have not been able to cook for over a yr.due to my old one breaking on Thanksgiving last year. I love to cook and to try new recipes. Thank you so much for all of the gifts. I love them all!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!

My gift was waiting on me last night when I got home from an out of town business trip!

I absolutely love it !!!!!!!!!! My SS is the best !!!!!!

I have had an incredibly long week (I am an insurance agent and have one enrollment after another this month) and I put my bath goodies to use in the whirlpool last night! I had a pillow for my head, wonderfully big bubbles, a pretty pink puff, body spray, lotion, and vanilla candles to boot! There is not a more perfect gift for me!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...it's just what I needed!

Hugs & Kisses, Santa!

My package arrived Thursday and I was surprised by the size of the box for starters. Inside I found some beautiful Christmas tea towels, a tasty Christmas smelling candle, two huge snowflake mugs, and a delightful squeeze and play reindeer. You can sqeeze one hand and tell him something. Then you squeeze the other hand and it plays it back.

My daughter has been using it to play with the dog. She records something silly and then takes the toy over to the dog and plays it back. Our dog, Lacey who is often confused for a golden retreiver rug or doorstop, lifts her head, looks slightly startled, signs and lays back down again. My daughter finds this hilarious and repeats the cycle again.

My thanks to Amy Drewston for my SS present. It was delightful!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
