Thrilled and bummed all in one night



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery was 12/17. After a grueling stall, I have finally started losing again. As of this morning lost 39lbs since surgery, 49lbs total. While I have noticed my clothes getting looser, including my size 22 jeans, I have not tried on any new clothes...until tonight. I'm at Target with my 13 year old daughter and decided I would hesitantly try on size 18 jeans. I had already gave myself the pep talk to not be discouraged if/when they didn't fit, especially since they were Mossimo and in my previous shopping days, Mossimo was only made for twig b*****s! Anyway, so when I get the 18s zipped without having to suck in and hold my breath, I'm on top of the world. At this point, I could care less if these jeans cost $100, they are mine. Then my daughter (who wears those horrific skinny jeans) says, 'mom, those are too baggy, please take those off'. So....I try on the 16s and, oh yeah baby, I'm doing old school cabbage patch up in the Target dressing room. Perfect fit! I don't think I've ever bought a size 16 jean. If I remember correctly, I went from a 12 to 20 overnight after having my daughter. Ok, so here's the bummed part. I get home, so excited to tell my husband (who didn't want me to have surgery). I put the jeans on and strut out like I'm on a freaking catwalk! His response...'they're stretchy jeans, that doesn't really count'. Are you kidding me!? Doesn't count? Um, whatever, what a buzz kill! Yeah, guess who won't be touching this size 16 hiney for a while!

Yeah, I asked him to stretch them over his wide load, lol! Stretch or not, they aren't elastic waist, which is about all I've worn in years!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
