Dropped 2 Sizes
Jun 02, 2009
I have 3 days before my 2 month visit. I have to come back so soon because of the second surgery I had to open my passage way so I could get food and drinks in. Well that slowed down my weight loss but not much. I am so happy now. I still have problems with keeping some stuff down but I kinda know once it hits my tongue what will and what won't work. I'm drinking a lot more now also. So things are better. I go to my 2 month visit on Friday and I my scale has me down 83 lbs total I'll report what the dr.'s scale said when I come back. Our scales are really close my scale maybe 1.5 lbs lower.
I am so excited, I'm now in a 24 comfortably and my bra size keeps shrinking . I'm not too upset as long as they remain larger than the belly. LOL. It was such a good feeling to go in the store and know they would have my size and for me not to keep looking till I found a 30 or a 32. Those pants and tops now swollow me up. Some of my old 26 pants are hanging off. I can still pull that off for now with a belt and a big top. But you know what I don't want no big top on. I am in a 22/24 top and it looks great on me. I have so much more energy now. I find if I'm not drinking I do get a bit dizzy.
So now I went out clubbing with a friend who had the surgery 11 mos ago. and she has been getting all kinds of attention from the men while I sat there and looked on. Let me tell you I was the show stopper and I believe it was this new found confidence I have in myself. I'm little by no means but I feel better about myself and that's what counts. She could not believe it. All she could say was well, well, well. I really don't know what that meant but hey why worry what other's think.
I'm wearing pretty dresses and cute clothes now. I'm learning exactly how much I can eat. I just hate when people who know a little about the procedure keeps telling me that I'm eating too much or asking how can you eat that. Honestly and no lie because I don't have to lie here we all know what we go through although each of us is different. I can eat once a day a total of about a cup of food right now. I can drink all day though, so I just keep it to the unsweetened decaf tea. I have 64 oz of that at work and then home i sip on a bottle of water. I can't eat too late for some reason. The keytones finally left me the heck alone. yeah!!!
So now I'm pretty much in the swing the exercise is picking up also. I need to really get serious with it though because I'm loosing pounds but not inches as fast. I feel If I stepped the work out up some more I will see better results. Anyhow, I hope all of you are doing well. Have a great week and stay blessed.
