Hey guys!!!
This week was pretty good. I weighed in yesterday morning at 272lbs, that's a total of 63lbs from surgery and 81lbs from the beginnig of all this. Only 1 pound down this week, but I am grateful for that.
Well my attention has been solely on hubby this week. Preparing for this surgery, then going to the hospital to have his surgery. I really did try the liquid diet with him, but couldn't hold out. So I did liquids mostly during the day then ate at night. I did not achieve my logging goal this week but I will. Because hubby just got released on Wednesday, i havent been to the gym all week. Im about to go crazy. Im back at it on Saturday though. Hubby is doing amazing. Apprently they changed the way they do the surgery a little, so he only has 2-1 inch scars, he didnt have a drainage tube,and isn't in as nearly much pain as I was in. He said that he is sore from the bruising but he thought he could go back to work next week. They wont let him do that beccasue he has to lift up to 50+ pounds at work. Anywho, I wanted to give him a pinch because he felts so good. The only problems he did have in the hospital is sipping water. He dry-heeved from drinking it. They said it was because his esophogus had a lot of swelling still. He's fine now. He sipped on a protein drink all day and some water. Enough about him...back to me.
I had some NSV's this week. I'll start with the biggest one of all from today. I bought a dress over a year ago that was onsale at Lane Bryant and a size 22, when I was in a 28 knocking on 30...fitting 30 depending on the store. Well today my son's school had a mother/son-father/daughter spring dance and we had to be dressy. So I looked in the closet full of clothes that I have, and there's alot....and saw that dress still with the tag on it. The first time I tried it on, I couldn't get it to go down past my breast. It's a 2 layer, one satan material, the other is a lace overlay. Really really cute. Anywho, I tried it on, and at first it didnt appear to be going down, until I pulled the first layer down, then the second. OMG!!!! I fit it DAMN GOOD. It's even loose a little at the top. I ran downstairs to show hubby and he was like DAMN!!! HA HA. I've decided that I will wear it to church on Mother's Day and to my graduation on the 13th. The other NSV was that I was able to curl up in the chair they had me sleeping in at the hospital with no discomforts. My back hurts now, but it wasnt uncomfortable to sit with my legs and feet curled up.
On to the next week!!!!
