A Poem that Touched My HEART



Recommended Posts

I am sure us woman can relate to this

I am not sure who wrote it but it was posted in my docs office yesterday and I had to take a copy of it and share it with everyone

The Woman in the Mirror

Walking past the mirrored glass, I take a timid peak.

I see a woman staring back, I am to choked up to speak.

The puffiness, at last is gone, the skin pink and glowing.

The many pounds that melted off, Finally, now is showing.

Hard to believe until recently, the same woman was dying.

Stuffing the food to ease the pain, Heartbroken and crying.

Life revolved around each snack, She lived for every meal.

Anything to numb the hurt, She did not want to feel.

When did she get so pretty? When did God remove this grief?

How did this miricle happen? Who provided this relief?

What a gift!! A second chance!! I thank god everyday.

For his grace in showing me, there is a better way.

I walk, I dance, I make love too, my heart is filled with gladness.

I am out of bondage, I am out of pain, there is no more room for sadness.

This woman in the mirror, Smiles softly back at me.

She has good cause to be pleased, She has finally been set free!!!

I decided to share this with everyone because you are all my inspiration. and i love you all

(OH GOD I THINK I AM PMS'ing)

Hope you all have a good day

With much love

Vickie

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
