Yesterday at the grocery store I wanted something on the bottom shelf. Instead of bending over, I did a full squat and was able to pop back up without any knee pain, trembling muscles, or hand/arm support.

Great job! 100 lb mark, IPad mini..... I take mine to the gym when I work out on the elliptical, so I put on Netflix or a movie and my workout is done just like that..... just a suggestion :)

Next week my office will hold a big international reception to receive a Minister of our country and I just got the new assignment today from my boss that they want me to be the MC of this reception.

Ok I worked for this office for 5 years, we held a lot of receptions and events but I was never asked to do this duty. I know I could do it well because I'd done this kind of things since high school until I put on weight, no one would ask me to do this. Can't help but thinking it must be something about my new look.

Not sure I should be glad or sad about it.

Went shopping yesterday, and didn't try on or buy anything bigger than a size Medium! And I sold a pair of my size 16 jeans on Poshmark, because I'm not going to need them ever again!

I'm only a week out and had my very first NSV!! I bought a pair of dress pants 3 years ago that were way too small at the time, just in case I decided to lose weight. I found them in the back of my closet and decided to try them on...and they fit perfectly!! I'm so excited for the rest of this journey that I'm on!!

I'm now wearing the same size clothes as my 13-yr old son (he's 6ft tall and 150lbs). Never thought that would happen!

I can comfortably sit in the back seat of a compact car and fasten my seat belt without feeling like I am choking.

I finally can cross my legs!!!woohoo!!

It actually happened unintentionally during discussion with colleagues and I just realized it a few seconds later that my legs were crossing! I was like, whao! What I'm I crossing my legs? Almost forgot the work lol

I usually don't sit crossing legs even when I was thinner, but now I'm like a crazy woman, I cross my legs every chance I get because I CAN!! LOL

PS I showed my husband my leg crossing NSV and he was a bit surprised because he didn't know that I couldn't cross my legs when I was fat.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
