ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY POEM

Today's my anniversary Of my gastric bypass surgery. It hurt like hell But then, oh well I'm guilty of no perjury. Then came the days of mushy food It really wasn't all too good Applesauce Eggs and mush Made my behaviour really rude. Until the solid foods began Chicken, beef, things from a can Protein too It's good for you All part of my new meal plan. The weight was melting off of me With every poop and every pee Pounds and pounds And happy sounds Like "HIP HIP HIP" and yes, "WHOOPIE!" Before, I hated exercise The burning, itching, rubbing thighs But now I see It's helping me To get to a much smaller size! Until this day, a year from then It seems so long ago since when I only sat 'Cause I was fat But now I'm getting small again. So on this day I celebrate I'm one year out, I speculate And on my way HIP HIP HOORAY Enjoying life with my sweet mate. ~~~ OK OK I had to "push" a couple of those rhyming words, but it's MY poem. Happy anniversary to ME!!! Lizzie G
