Went To Macys Today And...

Wow! What a shopping trip! I fit into a size 12 skort!! A fricken size 12!! Really? Who is this girl? I range from a 14-16 and have been getting into 14s lately so there was a cute red skort on sale - but only a size 12 left. So I figure why not? It not only fit-but it wasn't tight either! I think at the weight I am now I don't need to lose as much to go down a size-whereas when I was heavier I could straddle a size for a much greater weight range. SO I headed up to the bras- and I am a 38C-Whoa! I think this time last year I was a 42D or more.

It's hard to go down sizes (mentally). I still gravitate to the bigger sizes. Last year I was a 22-this year a 14 and that adorable size 12 skort! To all of you starting out-just wait until next summer comes-you will feel and look so different and yes, it will definitely be worth it!

It feels great doesn't it. And the clothes always seem cuter in the smaller sizes!

Way to go!!!! I use to wear 22-24's and 2X tops last year before my surgery. Now I am in a 16 pants and XL tops. I feels so good to be smaller and the clothes are definetly cutier in smaller sizes. I don't know why people feel like big people need to wear lots of big flowers and polka dots on there clothes. It also feels good not to buy pants with elastic in the waist!!!

Dont cry...it's going to come off when you keep your eye on the prize. Be patient, and when you have energy start that walking and moving even if it's baby steps. Follow those rules, up your Protein intake (60-80 or what your surgeon advises). Before you know it you will be putting those size 22's away, 17's,16's and more...treat yourself along the way but look for good sales!!!! You are going to do awesome!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
