I've Noticed Some Changes
Sep 06, 2011
and so have others. I used the bathroom and was getting ready to brush my teeth. I looked at my face and stared...and stared..and stared, trying to figure out what was going on. LOL I said to myself, I have to touch up my eyebrows. That was'nt it...my face has gotton wayyyy smaller already from the 15 pound lost. I did'nt even notice it unitl Sunday morning.My children saw me a few minutes later and said the same but I said niothing to them about it, I was happy
. My thighs are getting smaller as well. I can't wait to be cleared to exercise full force. It's On!I have lost 6 more pounds. I was 200 surgery..then 185 six days later and today 179. I had a doctor's appointment and was surprised when the nurse said my weight.
I pulled a shirt off of a hanger that I had in my closet from my shopping for smaller clothes back in July when I was hitting the clearance racks. The shirt is a size 14 and it is too cute with a lilac print and silk. I put it on a BAM.....it fit!! wooo hooooo!!
Now to the happy and surprised moment..........MY FEET HAVE SHRUNK ALREADY AND IT HAS NOT BEEN 30 DAYS POST!!! I put on one pair of my many shoes and said to my daughter, would'nt it be funny if these were too big??? I put them and they were flopping off of my feet. ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!! I'm not complaining, just shocked!
Those particular shoes are one of my top 20 heels because of the uniqueness of them. I tried on a pair of one of my personalized sneeks and once again.....flip flops. Tried on a pair of flats.......you guessed it, flip flop. My daughter was laughing at me. I said" stuff your feet in these shoes"!!! We started laughing because she knows that my heels were a fav of mine.The funny thing about this is, I don't have wide feet. My feet are narrow.I've been hula hooping and using my total gym for light exercise until I see Dr. Lee again next week for my second post op visit. Ince she gives me the go....I'm going swimming again,and more intense cardio. I get tired quickly form the surgery but I know that will pass one day because it's still early.
I am having cravings...cravings for a pickle and a nice salad. I've been getting in 45-52 grams of protein depending on what I'm having for the day. I keep a journal as well and I plan out what I'm eating for the next day after I make notes for the current day. I'm drinking alot more water now. Out of my entire list of items I purchased for drinks, I have used only 2 packs of true lemon and a couple of tea bags. I've been drinking water constantly with nothing added. While in the hospital, it tasted like something with flavor. Now, it's back to tasting like good ol' water.
