A month since surgery

Jul 13, 2011

Time to check in. Tomorrow is one month since surgery. I have regained a lot of my energy and sometimes feel like the Energizer Bunny. I still have days where I am dragging myself to get things done and exercise. Like today. lol

I am down 43lbs, counting the two weeks pre surgery. 23 since surgery. Had to go pick up a couple of tops and two new pairs of shorts to get through the summer. I pulled out some shorts that had not fit for the last nine years and they looked like skirts. So I enjoyed buying clothes two sizes smaller and fit my new smaller shape. I also need new bras.

I have found I have more room in my seat in the car. I fit into a booth at the resturant. I can cross my legs. I can cut my toe nails without being out of breath. I enjoy walking. My rings are very loose. I really love those positives....

Have not had a problem with any foods. I cut it all small and chew, chew and chew. My fiance' took me out to Crackerbarrel and I had no problem. I ordered the grilled chicken tenderloins. Very well cooked and moist. I got to pick out 3 sides of veggies. I asked how many ounces of chicken was in the dish. It was 4 ounces. I figured out my portion and what veggies I was eating. The rest came home for three more meals. The manager stopped by to make sure I enjoyed my food, since I had asked the weight of the portion. I told her why I was taking most of it home and she told me next time I come in to ask for the children's portion, then I won't have to pay full price for eating a quarter of the food. I thought that was very accommidating.

So all is going well. Hope all my OH friends are doing well also.
