You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

When you can easily walk 3 miles with your 12 year-old son and not get winded. Where as before the 100yards to the mail box made you have to taken a nap.

Your wedding ring falls off your finger.

I agree! One of my goals was to be able to someday wear my weeding ring again. After 3 months and 44 lbs I am able to wear it and it is loose! post-213271-14122622918261_thumb.jpg

I am loving this sleeve!

Your tummy is no longer bigger than your boobs (wohoo) and the hair tie on your wrist doesn't feel like it's going to cut off circulation... it's LOOSE!

You know you are losing weight when your 12 year old son tells you to pull up your pants you are sagging to much for a mom!

and

You know you are losing weight when your 8 year old can get her arms around you and link her own fingers together!

This is what I want for my last child to do, hug me and get his little arms around my waist.

A few recent ones for me:

-A co-worker tells you :"If you lose any more weight you're going to blow away!"

-You get carded buying a bottle of wine and the cashier does a double take between you and your ID photo

-You have to go out and buy a full-length mirror, because you don't recognize your own lower body in a photo (true story, happened to me last Wednesday)

A woman came into our office. She went over to my co-worker and said. "I see you have a new girl here"

She laughed and said. "No that's Jaci, she lost a lot of weight". The woman didn't believe her. Lol. I've worked there for almost 14 years. The woman was embarrassed and said it was that my hair looked different. My hair was in a ponytail, which it often is. This honestly made my day.

We got t-shirts to wear for a special work event. My coworker saw me in the ladies room trying to decide whether to tuck it in or not. She said "with your flat stomach, you should tuck it in." Nobody has ever said my stomach was flat!

Last night I went to visit my Fiance and in a room with maybe 20 other people he couldn't find. He said I was looking so different. That was an amazing feeling. =)

      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!!
