Much overdue update.

I am feeling fine. Getting the hang of post up life more and more as each day passes. Got through Thanksgiving with no hiccups. In all honesty, some of the "old" favorites that are now allowed, well....after a taste, I find myself questioning Why in the world did I eat that all the time. This is not a bad thing.
For instance, prior wls, we loved going to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory. My favorite on the menu was Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese. Well my dgt and I went there and ate yesterday. I ordered my favorite thinking it is going to taste so good......well, it wasn't bad by no means, but it just didn't hold the same appeal for me as it used too!! I ate half of the salad served, and 6 bites of the spaghetti and I was satisfied.
I remember when I could order the extra large portion, eat all of the salad, share 3 loaves of bread and butter with the family and eat the ice cream they offer at the meals end, and let's not forget the 4 or 5 soda refills.
I am so glad that I can finally have salad, and tolerating it well so far.....knock on wood. I have to say I really did miss it. I always have loved salad. Here is another funny.....prior wls, the taste of Light Ranch dressing was horrible to me...I refused to eat it at any resteraunt and never bought it. Well being a good girl, the Light Ranch has been my dressing of choice, and it tastes just like the reg Ranch that I remember!!
YIPPEE.
My 10 year dgt attended the Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus concert in Indianpolis yesterday.....of my what a crowd. Imagine being a 15 year old girl drawing that much attention. Anyway, my dgt is crazy about her and we was lucky enough to get tickets. It was wonderful and memorable mom and dgt day out on the town. Concert, shopping, and dinner out just the two of us. I will be loading a pic of my dgt in front of one of the Tour buses. Have a look.
I have no regrets regarding wls, I have been fortunate and have had no complications. I would do it again tomorrow if I would be blessed to have insurance approval. Nothing that I have had to give up means more to me than this weight loss and the slow building of my self esteem, and a healthier happier me.
Clothes are getting so slouchy looking, but it is hard to buy new ones when you know (hope) that they will not fit for long. I did break down and buy an outfit for our night on the town. Funny the first time you go shopping and like auto pilot you start picking out the larger sizes that you have worn for so long. I actually started out trying on a size 26 jeans, and a 26/28 shirt. Needless to say, I had to keep trying on smaller sizes. I did look much neater and better put together in smaller clothing, so with that said, I guess I will go to the local GoodWill and see what I can find.
Since I probably won't update again until after the upcoming holidays, I will wish everyone joy and happiness along with good health. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
