Excited and just rambling

This is the end of week 5 after the surgery. I had a hard time with the pre-surgery diet. Hated it. I think because I was still cooking awesome meals for the family and having to enjoy broth, but having the surgery was worth it. I was close to 300 pounds when I had the surger on 09/08. Today, I am close to 260. I am really happy, but I am disturbed. My scale has not moved at all in about 2 weeks. I am sure it is trying to catch up with the massive weight loss. I am drinking my protein drinks. Eating correctly. I exercise daily. I have had no period since the surgery, but I took a pregnacy test and thank goodness, I am not pregnant. Urgh!

 

I was excited to put on pants today that I bought a size smaller and did not realize that I should have gone down another size. I hate trying on clothes when I shop. I guess I am going to have to start trying on clothes.

 

I am also excited that I no longer am the person who is continuously asking for the air to be turned down. I actually have the chills most of the time. I love being cold. I can put on a long sleeve shirt or wear a sweater. It is so much better than trying to figure out how to get cool.

 

My husband will have his surgery 11/9. I hope his experience is as good as mine.

Glad to hear that it is going so well! I think the pre-surgery diet is going to be pretty terrible. I told my family that they will have dinner without me for a week and my husband was going to have to do the cooking. I figure I am already going to be grumpy. Why expose myself to it if I can avoid it. Also, I know you hate trying on clothes when you shop, but I am willing to bet it becomes one of your favorite things soon enough!

OMG!!! 40 pounds in a little over a month...that is terrific! It sounds like you are doing wonderfully! It's it great when the clothes you used to wear are sudden way too big?! That's sucha great feeling.

I know you were super happy to find out you were preggers - LOL. That would have been a whole new challenge.

Congrats to you on your surgery and your weight loss. And I know your hubby will have success before and after his procedure!

All the best,

Niki

Yea for you! As a September Sleever as well, I can atest to that magnificent feeling of dropping UNDER a new target...280 under 270 under 260...

I have lost 34 and feel fab! I just started exercising and need to figure out how to use the Wii that I purchased several years ago. HA!

Dragging out the clothes I've saved over the past 10 years has been a real treat. Even though I have another 20 pounds before I can slide into those size 18s - oh lordy how sweet it will be. Stay pumped - keep on keepin on and know that you are well onyour way to a new you! Best wishes. Reb
