This morning I went for my eight week check up with Dr. Rita and here are a few takeaways:
1) First of all, I can not believe it has been eight weeks!
2) I am cleared to take a bath and do water aerobics again
3) Even though my incision has been causing me some pain
and discomfort lately, she felt around and does not see/feel anything out of the ordinary. She reminded me that even though the outside is healed nicely, the stitches used inside are very deep and may not be fully healed. I simply need to take it a little slower when bending.
4) I can continue to drink protein drinks as long as I want/need to.
I have had a few wow moments lately that I want to share as well:
1) Leaving work last week I ran into one of my co-worker's daughters (who is my age). I spoke to her for a few minutes, not realizing she was not 100% sure who I was. The next day my co-worker said that her daughter described me as brown haired, green shirt, size 16/18. Yeah, don't I wish I was that size! Man that made me feel awesome!
2) I went to Catherine's last night to find a new top for a wedding this weekend. I found a really beautiful top, size 3X and it is very loose/bordering on too big! Unfortunately it is on clearance and they don't have a 2X within 40 miles. It was $45, marked down to $32. The sales lady told me that it will be another 40% off on Saturday, and she is actually holding it for me until then. I feel bad about spending almost $20 on a top that I will likely only wear 1-2 times, but it is beautiful, so will probably treat myself.
Oh yeah, in case you are wondering...
I have lost 42 pounds!!!!!!!!! Praise God!! Hope to have new pics to share soon!
