5 Weeks & The New "Old" Wardrobe...

Oct 06, 2011

Well, it's now 5 weeks since the Sept. 1st Sleeve surgery and I'm in an area of weight that I haven't been in for years. It's amazing....face is looking thinner, things are moving around and clothes are getting larger. In fact, I have been hitting my closet for clothes that I haven't worn in years. That's right...dust 'em off, try them on and guess what? They fit! It's a great feeling! I'm actually going to take some of the outfits to the cleaners just to get them cleaned up.

I was wearing anywhere from a 24 to a 26/28....and now I'm in the 18/20's. I usually wore my 26/28 bathing suit and now I'm wearing my size 18 swim suit to water aerobics. Soon that will be too big too.

I've started strength training and getting back on the treadmill also this week. I'm back up to a mile and it's all coming back. Thank goodness I was pretty fit going into this...it's a lot easier getting back into it.

Still got to eat SLOW...that's the hardest part of all of this. But each week it seems to be getting easier. But my tummy still likes more of the "pureed foods" with the soft foods. I'm not going to rush it.....keep that Sleeve happy!

Gotta get some pictures up....I'll work on that!
