i'm down to a 4x.

oh! and in orientation in my new job today the store manager put the smack down on 4 teen girls who thought it would be cool to snicker at the fat lady (me) working in the plus size dept. in front of a bunch of other people he not so kindly reminded them I would be making 3x their income.

I like him. and he is cute too.

Woot!

I bought a new sweater from the regular clothes section...not the Plus Sizes! It's an XL, not a 1X, 2X, or 3X. Yay!

I brought my Dad home fromt he hospital today. He had a Warthins Tumor on his Parotid Gland in his neck. All biopsies came back negative for malignancy. He has a huge scar from around his ear lobe several inches down the side of his neck. The surgery involved not one, but two branches of facial nerves that come out of the skull and run down the face and neck. It was a complicated surgery, and the risk of losing his ability to move his face were great because of the way the tumor was situated. Thank the Lord his doctor is wise and experienced and Dad is well. He's shacked up at his house with his puppy dogs and a fridge full of Ensure and pudding and yogurt. He's sore but not in pain. Whew.

My husband did the dishes and washed the kitchen floors.

My kids are sleeping souundly in their comfy beds, happy and clean.

Tonight I threw away half a granola bar. I was trying to eat it because I took a bite...then I thought...I don't want that...why don't I just throw it away? Buh bye, empty calories!!! That felt good.

The big zit on my forehead is going away! And on the bright side, my bangs covered it anyway! We had a firedrill at work today and all had to go outside so I saw people I hadn't seen in a while. THREE people at work stopped by my office after the firedrill and told me I looked good - wanted to know what the heck I'd been doing. Yee haw!

I tentatively broke 200 this morning (199.5). Sometimes I have a scale malfuntion!

I feel smaller and no longer have to wear plus sizes.

I am waiting to buy a swimsuit, even though they are all coming out at the stores. Why is the positive? Well, I don't want to buy one, if I am going to need a size smaller in the next month!!!! DUH :biggrin1:

I have healthy kids and a sweet supportive husband.

Thanks for this thread. Shawn

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
