Day 21

Aug 28, 2009

That makes it 3 weeks out.  Its been a great but odd journey so far.  Since i have been home ive followed the diet plan to a tee.  Its had its ups and downs.  No weight loss but something like 19 inches so far.  Im stable at the loss of 13 pounds since surgery.  But the realize site i have also been using is something like 9 inches off my hips and 5 inches in my waist.  I dont get that part but im going with the flow.

I was nearly in tears this morning both good and bad.  I was going thru the closet trying to find dress clothes to wear to work  I have nothing left.  I guess tomorrow is a shopping day.  Need some interim pants to wear to work.  I literally cant wear anything I had before and Im not at the size of the smaller things I had kept over the years.  Its great dont get me wrong but I hate to shop for clothes more than I hate the dentist.  The idea of finding something I like and trying things on is more than I think i can handle at this point.

On a sad note I almost lost a close friend recently.  Her port site got a hernia, then an infection.  They didnt catch it till it was destroyed and so was her stomach.  She had her band removed 2 days ago.  She is doing well and we both hope that she has learned enough in the past to years to maintain with out the band.  120 pounds was her loss and no one could inspire more than she did when it came to the use of that tool  Thanks SV for the inspriation.
