Week 2 Post-op!!! Puree Day! My hips are half a foot smaller!

Jun 22, 2012

H*ly Crap!

I can't believe it!  My hips are actually six inches smaller than they were on the 6th of THIS VERY SAME MONTH!

My thighs are all be-dimpled as I lose pockets of fat, and my stomach is creeping upward and inward all the time.  I never had visible cellulite, but now my thighs look like cottage cheese with VERY big curds lol.  That's ok, those are just the older fat deposits that have developed a harder texture over the years.  It'll all be gone before long, and I don't give a crap what people think--I'm wearing my bathing suit!

My stomach has a few dimples too where I've lost more fat than other places, but that's all normal and it's all to the good

Instead of making me self-conscious, these changes thrill me!  It's a sign that my body is finally making the changes it needs to to make me a healthier person!

God, it feels like I didn't even have surgery!  The only reminder I get from time to time is when I get hot and thirsty and drink water too quickly.  That, and that VERY nice "full" feeling I get after about 6-8 spoonfuls of anything thicker than beef bouillion.

My lady time began today, so my weight loss has been slowed down for the past couple of days.  From what I've read this is pretty common.  After the time is over, lots of women drop a lot of weight all at once (like 5-8 pounds in the next week).  I'm glad I haven't "gained" any weight, at least (which probably means I'm still losing since I usually gain and lose about 10lbs of water weight each month).

Good times, good times!  I hope to go downtown tomorrow and see if I can get a take-home pint of my favorite Indian lentil soup to kick off my puree stage!
